This sounds totally strange, but you said it started after your husband got home from AFGHANISTAN. Was your husband exposed to anything that his body may have built up resistance to, but you are exposed and it is making you ill. Some kind or radation so something. When all those boys came back from the Middle East in 1992ish they had been exposed to chemicals, that did not make them directly ill, but many of them had deformaties in there children conceived upon their return. Very strange and never publisized of course. But my boyfriend at that time a captian in the Army told me all about it. Anyways, very random, but mabye worth looking into. I was sick with meningitis 6 years ago. But after I recovered (and not right away), I was sick again for 3 years and nobody could figure it out, I felt crazy, my main issue was servere fatigue, no matter how much I slept, and severe pain all over randomly, sometime the legs, neck whatever.......anyway they said I had Chronic fatigue..........what is that !! It's a default sickness, whenthay have nothing else. So I understand how frustrating it is.
im not on the flonase. ive been off of it for months now. just last night my left hand and arm were dead asleep for hours. id be almost asleep and id jerk really hard and wake up. it felt like someone was sitting on my body.
Dear Angjor,
There's a possibility that the Flonase you take for allergy is causing your symptoms. Several websites talk about rare reactions to it, including your dizziness, flu symptoms, skin sensitivity, eye problems. That far-away feeling you had is the dizzy thing, and the spots in your vision is the eye thing.
I would talk to the doctor who gives you the Flonase about possibly getting off it, to see if you'll feel better. You'll need his guidance in doing this, because of the steroid component of the medicine, that is, you can't just go off it out of the blue or you'll have unwanted reactions, so he'll probably have you lower the amount you use slowly.
He might have you alternate days of using Flonase, for example, with an ordinary saline nose spray with nothing else in it. This would progress to more days in between use of the medicine, until you're all the way off. I think it's worth a try, and if you feel better as you reduce usage of the spray, then that was probably what was causing your symptoms. Then the doc can prescribe something else for your allergies or he can treat them in some other way.

its kinda a odd story. they were going to do the contrast and the dr missed my vein and put it in my arm. it hurt so bad they didnt do it and let me leave. at the next visit the dr said everything looked great and i didnt need to redo it with contrast
heyy have u had a contrast MRI??? it would allow them to see even the smallest things...... im not sure where u are from, but im fron canada and if you really want you can ask for a full body MRI... they wil problly do it in sperate stages but with contrast in each one you might find what you are looking for.
Hi Angela, Just wanted to let you know I've experinced the pin pricks on my face and lips...the disoriented feeling you described...I was diagnose with having neuropathy..I'm no doctor ...Hope you get help soon
