Sorry to launch a little tirade except I have been dealing with a random illness for the last 10 months and thought a forum could give me some ideas as to what could be wrong.

Last April I travelled to the USA and was struck down quite badly with an illness. I couldn't get out of bed for a week, slept about 18 hours and could hardly eat a morsel. I went to the doctors and they couldn't find a problem.

From then I started to feel a little better but my eyes were quite sensitive to light and i felt generally tired and lacklustre.

When I returned to Australia in July i tried to make a return to sport, playing in my local football league. After a few games I would overheat and have quite terrible aches and pains. I was sent for blood tests and my ck count came back at a level of over 8000 so they put me in hospital. I was put on an IV drip for a week and released when the count had dropped to about 200. I also had slightly raised liver enzymes 37 or something. They performed a msucle biospy to look for autoimmune problems and myositis however everything came back normal. This all occurred at the back end of August.

I have started training with the soccer team again and my ck has jumped from 300 too 700 in about a month. I still am lacklustre, waking pretty groggily with sore eyes for the most part. I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to what could cause this sort of illness?

I would gladly appreciate any comments as the doctors have no idea, thinking it could be depression but i dont see how the ck count would effect it.
