Please help! I'm 27 yrs. I've been out of work since November due to a sudden onset of vertigo, Followed by constant, severe headaches and fatigue. I've been to an ent,rheumatologist and a neurologist. I've had bloodwork,an eeg,mri of brain. cervical xrays and a balance test. I've been diagnosed with tmj, Reynolds, and arthritis in my neck.autoimmune disease such as Lupas and rheumatoid have been ruled out. the eeg showed irritability (migranes) which I've never had. I've since been on antivert (antihistamine) and migraine meds. barely an impovement. I've had aches and pains and tiredness more than the average person since high-school,but this is more extreme. I asked to have a western blot done because I strongly feel something is going on. my Dr. ordered it and the lab refused to do the WB because I had a negative titer. I don't what to do. I need to go back to work but I don't feel like I'm thinking clearly and i haven't been able to drive. I just eNt to sleep all day.

Please help! I'm 27 yrs.

I've been out of work since November due to a

sudden onset of vertigo, Followed by constant, severe headaches and fatigue.

I've been to an ent,rheumatologist and a neurologist.

I've had bloodwork,an eeg,mri of brain. cervical xrays and a balance test.

I've been diagnosed with tmj, [Raynaud's], and arthritis in my neck.autoimmune disease such as Lupas and rheumatoid have been ruled out.

the eeg showed irritability (migranes) which I've never had.

I've since been on antivert (antihistamine) and migraine meds. barely an impovement. I've had aches and pains and tiredness more than the average person since high-school,but this is more extreme.

I asked to have a western blot done because I strongly feel something is going on. my Dr. ordered it and the lab refused to do the WB because I had a negative titer. I don't what to do.

I need to go back to work but I don't feel like I'm thinking clearly and i haven't been able to drive. I just want to sleep all day.

If you know of an llmd in western ct. Or if any of this sounds familiar please respond. Thank you in advance.
