Hi, I am going through the same thing. After I had my son Feb08, I started feeling sick all the time. Would break out in sweats....so my ob tested hormones, they were fine. Had strange arthritic pain in sternun to the back which has never went away. In July 09 I started to get these spells that lasted a week or so. Dizzy, nausea, weak, confused, memory loss and drops in blood pressure. Dr suggested fibromyalgia so I went to Rheumatologist and she found nothing after blood work, echo and stress test and chest x ray. Then I developed stomach problems. I have been told gastritis or ulcer and was given prevacid and nexium. I also developed allergies all of a sudden to dust, pollen..pretty much anything outside. One morning I woke up and back of head was asleep and the next day the right side of my lips were tingling....so I went to a Neurologist whom is doing MRIs of brain, neck and spine next week and checking for MS.......I am totally freaking out because he is also doing a 24 hr urine test which is testing for Myloma.... This week I have suddenly acquired a breathing problem. It feels like I cant take a deep breath or am yawning all the time to get good air. I feel terrible very day and I know what you are going through. I have lost my appetite as well for the last two weeks and am miserable...
