Weight Loss – Weightloss Resource and Slimming Diets

Okay, I have been sick for more than a year now, and my doctors have no idea why. It all started after four rounds of antibiotics for tonsillitis.

Here are my symptoms. I have no idea if any are connected.

Nausea, comes and goes, usually worse at night, and sometimes after I eat anything.

Loss of appetite, I cannot eat hardly anything.

Acid reflux that comes and goes.

Lump in throat feeling, usually worse at night and while lying down. Usually accompanied by nausea.

Weight loss, I’ve lost 60lbs in 14 months without doing anything. It seems to be getting worse.

Increased cold sensitivity, always cold.

Hear flutters, comes at random times, usually short of breath and dizzy after.

Bad sinus drainage, constant, worse at night.

Random lymph node swelling in neck/jaw. Sometimes accompanied by faint ear and/or throat pain. Usually goes away within a few days.

Abdominal pain, usually on the left side. A dull burning pain that comes and goes.

Joint pain, mostly in left knee, no injuries.

Hair loss.

Dizziness / near fainting when standing.

Ringing in ears, usually after a dizzy spell.

Vertigo that comes and goes.

Eye pain, comes and goes.

Headaches.

Sinus pain.

Unexplained sores on skin.

Constipation and diarrhea. Comes and goes.

Okay, now for the tests I’ve had done.

Hida scan. – Normal.

Ultrasound of uterus and gallbladder. – Normal.

CT scan. – Showed what looked like inflammation of the large bowel. But was noted that it was probably due to the fact that I couldn’t drink all of the barium.

Blood work. – I am not sure what all they tested for, but it all was normal.

SED Rate. – Normal.

Stool sample. – Normal, no h. pylori or any other bacteria.

Tested for Celiac. – Negative.

Tested for syphilis. – Negative.

Endoscopy. – Normal, no signs of GERD, inflammation, ulcers or infection.

Small bowel and stomach biopsies. – Normal.

Okay, now the medication I’ve been on.

Prevacid [ for nausea. ] – No help.

Zantac [ for nausea. ] – Helped the nausea and acid reflux slightly.

Nexium [ for nausea. ] – Helped quite a bit with the nausea and acid reflux.

Flagyl [ for the suspected bowel inflammation. ] – Just made everything 20x worse. Stopped taking it after four days.

Cipro [ for the suspected bowel inflammation. ] – Noticed no difference or side effects.

Amitriptyline [ for a sleep aid. ] – Helped with sleeping, but left me dehydrated and produced a nasty taste in my mouth. I stopped taking it after 3 weeks.
Amoxicillin [ replacement for Flagyl. ] – Noticed no difference or side effects.

Zofran [ for nausea. ] – Helped tremendously, but I ran out.

And now the medication I have taken on my own.

Benadryl [ For sinus drainage and a sleep aid. ] – Works as a sleep aid, but doesn’t stop the drainage. I have become used to it, so now it has no affect what so ever.

Pepto [ for nausea, acid reflux and lump in throat feeling. ] – Works for a little while. Has no affect on the lump in throat feeling.

Multi vitamin [ for hair loss, joint pain and tooth decay. ] – No effect so far, but I’ve only been on it for 4 days.

Over the counter acid reducer [ for nausea, acid reflux and lump in throat feeling. ] – Works the same as Zantac. No effect on the lump on throat feeling.
