No kidding... I thought something was wrong with my heart, so I ran to my doctor... He examined me and according to him, my problem was gasthritis... I couldnt beleive it at first... I mean, I feel too bad that "only" gasthritis sounded silly to me...
He gave me doloneurobion (dont know its equivalent in U.S or canada) for my aches and something for my poor stomach...
I started to feel normal again in 3 weeks... I didnt feel tired anymore ! So yeah, a simply gastro was causing me ALL those problems....

Now I have fibro anyway so...

Well, just wanted to share the above in case....

Good luck to you and your daughter. Keep us posted !!!
Thank you bluemajo.

I have always had bowel/tummy issues, and was finally dx with Ulcerative Colitis in the mid 80's, after a colonoscopy. I was treated for that for years, and then I started getting another problem, which was dx as gallstones. We hope the "Ulcerative Colitis symptoms" might magically disappear when I got my gallbladder out . . . but it didn't happen.

Most of my daughters issues are neurological, it seems; tingling, burning, numbness, eye nystagmus, vertigo . . . although all those things do leave her feeling very sick and nauseous too.

I just wish they'd do the testing to rule out everything else.

Cherie
