4 Years ago I was given 2 drugs for a stomach bug, which was the beginging of the end for me, In my case, I was prescribed Ciprofloxcin 500mg of and 500mg of metronidazole twice a day for 14 days. Within the first couple of days taking the antibiotics I knew something didn’t feel right, but I continued to take them as prescribed. Another day passes and I had a massive panic/anxiety attack, it felt as if my body was shutting down and I was going to die within a few minutes. After suffering all night long I visited the Dr again and told the Dr it feels as if I’m dying, something is incredibly wrong I have never felt this way in my entire life. He researched the side effects/symptoms of the antibiotics he prescribed and based on what he read he told me to stop taking it and see if there was any improvement. I made it another few days before I couldn’t handle it, my side effects were so bad. Less than a week later (of being off the pills) I went into work and was hit with another extreme panic attack, couldn’t breath again extreme dizziness like my body was shutting down I told a coworker that I felt as if I was dying, I couldn’t walk, and I needed him to call an ambulance immediately. From that point on, my life has changed forever. I had to stop work and spend the next 8 months constantly in and out the emergency room at multiple hospitals, specialists, and my GP’s office. I had multiple ECGs done, CT scans, ultrasounds, an MRI, and many rounds of blood work. I became delusional / depersonalized and suffered derealization, I was completely paranoid of life and in awe of my existence. I cried every single day, I suffered with constant anxiety, severe panic attacks, neuropathy (numbness in my arms and head), neuralgia (electricity in my brain/brain zaps), tremors, body shivers, ), hopelessness, intense fear, tunnel vision, loss of vision, memory loss, loss of dexterity, inability to concentrate, inability to walk or control my body properly, agoraphobia, low blood pressure, high blood pressure, suicidal ideations, fear of dying, fear of living, and the list goes on and on. One Dr in the emergency room thought I had MS, but ruled it out after checking numerous blood work results. I was even prescribed Valium a benzodiazepine) to calm my “anxiety”, even though I never had anxiety outside of it being chemically induced. This caused even more issues as I eventually had to stop taking it, no tapering involved. I ended up losing 30lbs over the course of , but over the last 2 years have just started to gain some weight back.
Ongoing and current symptoms POTS increased heart rate and blood pressure from sitting to standing, weird internal vibrations at rest, balance issues when walking feel like a cant take deep breath hard to breathe, muscles sourness shoulder and neck, sensitive to smoke smells dust etc, sensitive to actual vibrations motors running etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated .
I suffered so bad over the past 4 years with no answers from MS medical model what so sever problem is there is not real pathology found new blood tests etc, only clinical test Tilt table and blood pressure heart rate diagnosis dysautonomia.
