Thanks again Mike for the info. I'm not 100% sure what the abnormalities were in the bloodowork this time (in the past is has been a high sed rate and low glucose)...but I see the doc on Saturday morning to go over those results.
As for my 'new' symptoms that I currently have they are as follows in no particular order (I started keeping a list): -Extreme tenderness/burning pain in back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, sides, stomach, upper chest, thighs, and top of head. -Very sensitive to touch in tender areas. -Puffyness/redness in all tender areas. -Bloated/swollen stomach (happened in like 3 days without medication change after LSB) -Uncoordination/trouble walking -Trouble judging speed/direction -Poor balance -Full Body Spasms -Shaking/Teeth Chattering -Chest Pains -High Heart Rate at Rest (between 110-160) -Double vision/Blurry vision -Dizziness/Nausea -Spinning/Bouncing/falling sensation (vertigo?) -Vomitting (3-7 times a day) -Intense Headache -Deep pain in spine from low back up through neck -Hallucinations (at least once a day, sometimes more) -Hair Loss (handful or so a day in shower) -Fevers up and down -Night Sweats -Difficulty sleeping -Violent Nightmares -Ringing in ears -Eyes burn -Weakness -Fatigue -Trouble Concentrating -Hands go numb easily -Red areas sometimes itch like crazy And...I don't know whether this is related or not but I have had cold symptoms for the last few months (stuffy nose, sneezing, etc) and I just can't seem to shake it. Obviously this doesn't include the CRPS pain in my left ankle which is also through the roof. Goodness...I really am just breaking down physically at this point. After the block on Jan 10th I started to get the pain in my spine...but everything else started after the block on Jan 31st...beginning with extreme tenderness/burning pain in my back and neck and high heart rate. Then it all progressed from there. So...what do you think? Most likely CRPS related or possibly something else. Also keep in mind that I had a MRSA infection when I had the first block done and a UTI when I went to the ER a couple days after the second block. I'm still thinking there is quite possibly an active infection that entered into my bloodstream or soft tissue and that could explain a lot of things. Not a serious case or anything...but even a mild case of sepsis could cause a lot of these problems, even hypoglycemia which would explain most of the other symptoms that infection wouldn't (including the low glucose levels in the blood work). But while all the docs have said an infection is possible...none of them have done anything about it. And MRSA is such a hard one to knock out completely (this is my 2nd or 3rd time with it). I don't know...but if you have any thoughts and comments I would appreciate them. I always like to have new things to consider and to take in to the doctors. |
