Default Great Info

Thank you all for the great info. Many years ago I suddenly became very ill. Swollen glands(lasting 4-6 wks.) Rash on face that eventually sread down body,conjunctivitis, tired, weak, swelling of joints, finally unable to climb stairs. saw several Dr.s(each one sent me to another specialist) and told few different things. X-rays of chest reveal sarcoidosis, Neuro thought possible MS or Lupus. Positive test for Lupus, but another Dr. didn't think that was it. Had started have migrains in twenties(Occationaly) but with this started having a lot. Told I had symptons of early onset Parkinsons. Didn't really know who was right. One neuro told me after going over all tests that he stongly suspected encephalitis. Infectious Disease Dr. said I had come to him too late, but that what ever it was had compromised my immune system.

After many months of this, I seemed to get better and better.Would have bouts of swollen glands lasting weeks(at one time 6 wks.). Always told same thing, "some sort of virus." Always cold to point of blue nails and fingertips. Had a cartiact issue 6mons back. Again told from virus? Then started having seizures at 46. Sorry for the length of this, just wanted to show big Pic. Left out some things for length sake.

Not a lot of faith in med profession
Thanks to those that got through this.
