Extreme thirst can be a sign of either diabetes mellitus or diabetes insipidus.
It might be a good idea for you to see an endocrinologist for a general evaluation. Night sweats could be caused by a number of hormonal issues.
Have you had basic testing done, such as thyroid, B12, metabolic panel, CBC, etc.?
You might have more than one thing going on. Some of it sounds like a drug reaction. People with hemochromatosis can have liver issues and not be able to metabolize drugs, making them sicker than other people when they take them.
Please get to your internist to talk to them about that soon!

Thank you Annie,
I have had all those panels done, but nothing showed anything out of whack enough to diagnose anything.. just the slightly elevated bilirubin for a while there, which does indicate some level of struggle for the liver. I did have an energy medicine practitioner (NAET) diagnose hemochromotosis, but the GP couldn't find it. Frustrating.. But on the bright side, I'm doing much better now.. not taking any meds, only homeopathics, and doing Kundalini yoga to stay well. I do my best to live as cleanly as possible, avoid food chemicals, wheat/gluten, and eat mostly organic. This all seems to be working well for me so I will stick with that, and meanwhile see if I can get tested for that other antibody.. has anyone else had that test done?
