I am desperate for answers that Mayo Clinic couldn't even diagnose

For the past 2 months I have had the following symptoms: Fever, Migraines, rash on my palms. severe muscle pain,  fatique, slurred speech at times, & some short term memory loss. The following symptoms started after a confirmed case of H1N1.  I have been put through every test known to man..blood cultures, blood test, MRI's, cat scans, spinal taps and thus far I have gotten no explanation. I have always had a normal bp & now it is averaging 150/100 & this didn't start until I became ill. I have many mornings that my body hurts so bad that it is difficult to even get out of bed, as it pains me to even walk. My fever is generally 99.0 in the morning and spikes to 100-101 in the afternoon & the is every day.  I am  a only 36yrs.single mother & can't go on like this any longer...I'm miserable! Any advice would greatly be appreciated, as I am out of answers.
Thank you in advance

Brandi!

The correct thing to look for is Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome....

You also did not say if you took a lot of tylenol or other meds, like tamiflu which can cause some of the symptoms as well.

Hi!

Don't be discouraged....I am sorry that you are going through this but know that there are a lot of us out here looking around for help and answers.

You don't list any diagnostic tests like blood labs etc for allergies, autoimmune or endocrine disorders.....

You could have a postviral inflammatory syndrome.  See Systemic Inflammatory Syndrome...

I have been through lot of this stuff too...Cleveland Clinic and every Pittsburgh hospital, but only to figure out my own diagnosis after 3 years.  LONG STORY.....so maybe I could offer some more suggestions.

Would love to know more, if there was anything else...symptoms, one negative lab, etc.
