Default Antibiotic started chronic neuropathy

Help. My life has recently been turned upside down and filled with pain.

On March 23 I took Flagyl and during got extreme burning mouth, throat, and esophagus. (It felt like i would be drinking liquid fire when i drank water!) I also got many other symptoms like head pressure, facial pain, ringing in ears, exhaustion, fevers, sore throat, fullness in ears, joint pain, dizziness, diarrhea, severe anxiety.

I ended up in ER after only three days, yet they couldn't find anything wrong with me except that I had a reaction to Flagyl. They told me it would get better after I stopped the antibiotic.

The next evening I started to get dizzy then feel very sick. Then I noticed that I had a sensation like menthol was all over my arms. Over the month that sensation spread to my hands, face, neck, shoulders, thighs, feet, even in ears and up nose! This is on top of the burnt mouth feeling and esophagus. It is so bad that I could not let wind or AC touch my skin.

It started to get better towards the end of the month. Then either it was from a scare with my baby or a bad cold and now it is worse then it ever was! It gets especially painful on my arms and face. All the original neurological symptoms have not gone away. The face pain is one of the worst. The only thing that is better is anxiety. I'm not as freaked as I was two months ago, just sad it won't go away.

I've been tested for everything. No Lymes, normal CT/MRI, Normal B levels.

Drs are confused.

I have a 2 year old boy and a 4 month old baby girl that I'm struggling to take care of and had to move in with in-laws.

I am breastfeeding so it's impossible to take drugs.

The neurologist said it was an allergic reaction and should go away within two months, but it seems to now be getting worse every week now.

I want my life back! Before this started I was extremely fit, healthy young mother and not overweight. The stress of this pain/mystery illness has made me lose over 30 lbs.

Any clues to what's going on?
