1. Major fatigue
2. joint & muscle pain w/stiffness
3. exzema, boils & rash on back of neck
4. PSVT- recent episodes feel as if my heart is vibrating and lasts for 2-4 min
5. dizziness upon standing
6. short term memory loss
7. neck & back pain
8. face flushing w/ low grade fever at times
9. eyes have become extremely sensitive to light
10. high cholesterol
11. shortness of breath with little activity
12. dry skin
13. facial hair
14. headaches
15. hypocalcemia (probably due to diuretics taken for edema)
16. recent weight loss of 20 pds in 2 mths when not even trying
17. obesity
18. nausea
I know the list is still long but I wanted to include all of the symptoms I am experiencing. I have been tested several times for diabetes and hypothyroidism. Recent CBC was completely normal. I am currently taking a Vit D prescription supplement, Simvastatin, Adderall XR (to treat problems w/ concentration), an antibiotic for skin problems and ibuprofen for the pain which isn't helping anymore.
I have plans to go back to school soon at a local community college and am hoping that I can get myself well before then.
From what I have seen & read here in the forums, people really have some great advice to offer. I have also come to realize that it is okay to ask for help. So, here I am doing just that.
Sincerely,
Concerned & Determined

What antibiotic are you taking? And for how long?
I have some impressions from your post that memory issues and muscle pain may be related to Simvastatin. Also if you do not take a CoQ-10 to replace what the Simvastatin destroys, then your heart and other muscles get fatigued as well.
You don't mention a diuretic in your drug list. What is it? Diuretics deplete magnesium which can cause heart beat changes.
If you give me a complete list I'll look up depletions for you. I suspect much of your problems have to do with drug side effects and the depletions they cause.
Your situation is complex.. be prepared for a long list.
