    Hi there

    Have you ever heard of PPPD? Sounds quite similar to your symptoms. Best to see a Neurologist as soon as you can to get it sorted out you can recover from PPPD but it can take a little bit. Doctors can't really do much about this considering it sounds like a neurological disorder but just in case see a doctor and a neuro. I mean people on here can give you answers as to what it might be but at the end of the day you have some health concerns you should be seeing a professional about. Good luck. smile

    Ana I am very sorry for what you are going through, 5 yrs ago I went through something close to what you are talking about, my Dr did an MRI and my brain was swollen and they did not know why, I also had the ringing in my ear just one ear, it took 2 yrs for my brain to get back to working and still not completely, the ringing in my ear never went away and I have lost the use of it. I would like to know how your Dr is treating you, the brain takes a long time in my case, that may not be the case for you.

    Hey I had exactly similar stuff after using an antibiotic and went to er the third night of taking it q as I was shaking and had a BP of 18 over 10 or something with slight fever. I still haven't fully recovered as it's been 3 months now. Stop the antibiotics already. Drink tons of water each day. Check your b12 and vitamin d levels get a complete blood check if you haven't already.

    I have couple of theories that these antibiotic reactions are either

    Dysregulating hormonal balance (my cortisol levels are a bit higher than reference range and I have no idea what is used to normally be as I never had it checked)

    Nervous system Dysregulation which I hope balances itself at some point

    Creates histamine or antibodies in our bodies causing all kinds of reactions

    How long has it been for you? Does it vary based on time of day?

    Hi!

    Would you be able to give an update.

    I have been having the exact same symptoms and it has been so difficult for me for the past few months. It can be so lonely because people don't understand what you are going through because you look "normal" on the outside, but you are experience such extreme symptoms. I read your symptoms and immediately resonated. Doctors have not been able to tell me what's wrong with me either after countless trips to the doctors, ER etc..........if they have diagnosed you, can you please give an update again. Thank you
