blurred vision. pressure in head and ears, dizziness, muscle weakness

I have posted on undiagnosed symptoms also.  I have been having blurred vision, dizziness, pressure and fullness in ears and head and behind eyes, muscle weakness, joint pain, crick in neck, and severe fatigue for over a year now.  Oh! also heart pounding and times where I can hear it in my head and feel it. Also deep itching sensations in my muscles that of course you can't scratch like pins and needles.  Been to ENT nothing wrong with ears, been to primary doctor MRI normal. Switched Doctors because primary basically laughed at me.  Have new Doctor went to last week and he seems wonderful he got blood work from last doctor and said your CRP is high 21.2 so we need to do ANA and ESR and the ESR has come back normal do not know about ANA yet. I am only 35yr old female and was always so healthy unitl a little over a yr ago when this all started suddenly and it has been every single day now sometimes off and on during the day and sometimes last for hours.  I feel like I cannot function at times and my brain is foggy. I have to literally make myself move and do things at times. I have been on Zanax since going to the new doctor and it has not helped.  I also have funny noises in my ears and times from all the pressure. I hope and pray someone can give me some guidance as to what this might be. New doctor says if ANA comes back postive it might show a connective tissue disorder so I don't know I feel very helpless in away because somehow someway someone ought to be able to tell me what is happening to my body. Please some info!!!!

I landed on this page after Googling my symptoms and seeking explanations given by medical professionals; the difference with my situation is that I have the answer to my condition. I am in the 'challenge phase' of a strict elimination diet to more specifically determine and diagnose a range of food intolerances. This diet is set by the immunologists at the Royal Prince Alfred Allergy Unit in Sydney, Australia. Without going into specifics here, I suggest you consider food intolerance as a very real possibility for your condition. My extreme reaction to foods containing naturally occurring amines are an exact match for yours given above. Fatigue, muscle aches and weakness, loss of balance, lack of concentration, extreme dizziness, tinnitus, 'skin crawl', migraine... the list goes on but these are the major effects. Severity changes according to the load from the food's eaten. I know this is an old post, but if I can help anyone overcome the debilitating symptoms Of foodintolerance, I have to take it. Good luck.

Hi Everyone, has anyone tried salt/c protocol like at this website: http://lymephotos.com/

i have the same problems in my head, and last winter it got so bad, i almost passed out completely....i've never had a lyme test done, b/c the symptoms subsided through summer, but they are back!  i'm looking into this salt/c protocol, if it doesn't seem to help i'm going back to the doc, and asking him if it might be lyme...he told me it might be anxiety, but i don't have anxiety!!!  i started having these wierd sensations they seem very medical!  anyways,  salt/c anyone try it??? i'm curious if it works!  thanks!
