16 months and still lost, Not Lyme disease now CFS? I refuse to believe

All started in April 2014, but was not chronic until March 2015. During September 2014- Feb 2015 they had all disappeared. Prior to all this I used to be 225lbs years ago(2007 I hit 225) before I started working out. During Dec 2013 > April 2014 I was in a weightlifting comp, I went from 129lbs in 2013 summer>170lbs 2014 winter>145lbs spring of 2014.

​Then all my symptoms disappeared when I started to gain more weight in September 2014, I went from 145-185 and all my symptoms started back once I was down into the 160's in March 2015.

I was treated for lyme disease (doxycycline about a month ago and it made all my symptoms better/some went away!) I do not believe I have CFS, reasons are I have had nearly two dozen EKG's since April 2014. I have been into the ER about 15 times this year alone for shortness breathe/chest pains/dizzy etc. Blood pressure/heart rates are always normal there has never been abnormalities in them. Body temperature is in check. Thyroid and adrenal gland functions are all normal. I wore a heart monitor during Aug-Sep 2014 and they found NOTHING.I read if you have CFS, there is problems with heart/blood pressure and thyroid and adrenal gland functions.

Here are ALL my symptoms to date.

Headaches (pressure/fullness in center of head like someone is squeezing a ball (current September 2015). (Pre Doxycycline I had suffered) from knife pains shooting out of my head, like someone stabbing from the inside out.

Ear ringing, filling out and releasing, can last 1-30 minutes.

(Pre Doxycycline) Eye blurry/watery eyes

Face numbness mostly in the sides of the jaw can pinch and not feel it at times.

Face and eye twitching most recently started after the Doxycycline.

Nose/sinus problems very hard to breathe through nose, sometimes I weeze.

Lymph nodes swell up, recently pain shooting out of the nodes like they want to explode/over load.

Tightness in neck, can’t breathe feeling.

Stiff neck, pain in the upper back, stiffness, painful.

Dizzy/light headed from the tightness of neck and nose/sinus problems.

(Pre Doxycycline) heart beating feeling on spine, could feel my heart beating (Post Doxycycline very rare I feel this way.) This would cause me to not fall asleep, for 1-3 hours laying there.

(Pre Doxycycline) Insomnia, have not had Insomnia since July and I was taking melotina and 5-HTP, stopped taking 5-htp it caused 1 panic attack the most serve ever.

Rarely heart palpitations.

Lock jaw feeling, can’t chew/ very hard to move my mouth.

HEAT INTOLERANCES, at the beach I can be fine, but in my own backyard I can flare up just standing/sitting outside for 10-15 minutes.

Hot showers have triggered these symptoms/panic attacks in the past.

Teeth problems

(Pre Doxycycline) Muscle twitching in bicep/quads.

Alcohol in tolerances. 

(Pre/Post Doxycycline) Memory loss/forgot to go to work, very forgetful at times.

(Pre Doxycycline) Bloating in stomach and eating more made me sicker included all the symptoms above (would build up).

(Pre/Post Doxycycline) Throat pain/like someone punching out/ tightness

(Pre Doxycycline and current) Extreme fatigue, current September 2015 not as fatigued but after symptoms build up I am tried/weak a bit sleepy. Sleep sometimes helps the problems but other times it doesn’t.

(Pre/Post Doxycycline) Itching crotch/anal region chronic from April 2014.

(Pre/Post Doxycycline) Tremors/weakness.

Numbness located in, calves, hands, feet, face and arms. (less severe after doxycycline, feels more like they are going to sleep than constant numbness and bloating/expanding feeling)

Bending over/squatting down weakness in legs just from one squat to open cabinet.

(Pre/Post Doxycycline) Near ending the cycle I had cold feeling in my hands when washing with warm/cold water. It would linger for about 15 seconds after washing my hands. Lasted about 15 days after taking Doxy I no longer have it 8/30/2015.

Random sharp pains left and right sides of body by kidney/liver?

(Pre Doxycycline) Random pain (one time it happen) in my chest July 2015 out in the yard (hot day), sharp blade slashing feeling in heart region also notice my calves went ice cold in the yard few minutes after this(never happen again) In August 2015 driving had another sharp pain in chest, like a lightning bolt hit it.

(Pre/Post Doxycycline) ED/random sexual mood swings can be completely dead sexually one minute and next super horny.

(Post Doxycycline) Panic attacks not as severe after Doxycycline. These are very rare now, once or twice a month.

I cannot work now, Panic attacks are less severe and I rarely get them now. I had one in class about a week ago, I had one in July going to the beach. But most of the time it’s not a panic attack I just get the feeling my throat is very tight/can’t breathe and become dizzy. I loose feeling in my arms/limbs (going to sleep feeling sometimes) 2-3 times am onth I wake up in the night and my arms are dead/no blood flow, and I feel like I cant move.

I been experimenting with more food, such as carbs, milk, caffee (Nutella) and symptoms are getting a bit better. I drink on average 50-75oz of water a day. I rarely drink protein shakes anymore. I usually have one with breakfast.

My conclusion, I have some sort of mercury poisoning or parasite in me. I do not see my doctor for another 2 weeks L
