That is an excellent post from Muireann.

The only other thing I'd add, is that a detailed history is necessary to come to any accurate diagnosis of anything.

Today people are exposed to numerous vaccines. We see vaccine injuries on our PN forum illustrating that taking these for granted, may result in injury. Young people today, have had more vaccines, than ever before in history. Vaccines can lead to reactions in the body, that last for years, or life. We are getting more young people on PN forum now than ever before.
Some of the newer vaccines like Gardasil and Menactra.
This is an example of side effects reported just for Menactra:
Quote:
Vaccine adverse reactions among 11-18 year olds in clinical trials cited in the product manufacturer insert include local pain, swelling and redness (10-59%); headache (35%); fatigue (30%); aching joints (17%); diarrhea (12%); loss of appetite (10%); chills and fever (5-7%); vomiting (2%); and rash (1%). There have also been reports of vasovagal syncope (collapse); facial palsy; transverse myelitis; urticaria, and musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders, including myalgia.
Gardasil has had many controversial reports of serious injury as well.
This vaccine link explains alot about failure to report serious reactions and how that is common in our culture these days.
So a person could get a vaccine, and think nothing of it...and end up with confusing long term side effect and not make that connection at all.

We live in a complicated world, that is for sure!


Young people also get exposed to toxins in the environment, and these may cause problems with the nervous system. There are also parasites in the environment that can travel to the brain. Lyme, toxoplasmosis and pork tapeworm are some of them. Removing toxins, and treating any parasites are important for any treatment of symptoms.

And also, drugs given in the past can damage you, and doctors rarely expect this. The fluoroquinolone antibiotics are very damaging to the nervous system. They also lead to tendon damage and ruptures. The tendon damage may occur many months after the drug is stopped, and no one links the event therefore. It is taken many years to discover this.

So I think it would be very helpful to your doctors for you to make a detailed paper listing your medical interventions, all vaccines given and when, and all drugs given and when. I expect your parents would have to help with this, but if you do a thorough job, you might find some answers that way. People who have confusing allergic problems often benefit from this type of informational gathering. So I think any complex set of symptoms should be logged and reported this way.

Don't assume that FDA approved and available drugs are 100% safe.
They all have a downside, trade offs. Sometimes it takes YEARS or even decades to gather all the trade offs. A very common drug Darvon, was on the market for over 30yrs and finally pulled because of toxicity and ineffectiveness and it took that long to prove.
Your midodrine was pulled recently and only recently reinstated.
