@Tekate -
Kate - I have a bunch of very ugly symptoms I haven't shared here. Dizziness, vomiting, intense pain, heart arrhythmia, off the charts inflammation. My glucose has flown up and down, my blood pressure will double in an hour, then plummet the next hour - you name it, I've had it. Weird swelling that comes then goes, all the signs and symptoms of intestinal blockage, drops in body temperature, the full range of neurological symptoms - all of it. So yes, I've had all the serious stuff. Multiple times when I could neither stand nor talk. Carted off in an ambulance more than once. At one point when I was in the hospital and they were pumping me full of a dozen different drugs, my cardiologist described me as being 'in extremis'. And they just don't know what I have or what's wrong. But - whatever it is - I need a clear diagnosis and I need it soon. I've been seeing everyone from opthamology to oncology to rheumatology to infectious diseases. And all of this has been over the last 4 months, getting progressively worse. My good days are becoming more rare and the bad days...lots and lots. I've lost 45 lbs since January and have no interest in food any more.
My biggest fear is that tomorrow will show nothing. Because, honestly, I just don't feel like I can keep going on like this. Last year I had cancer, and I wasn't a quarter as ill as I am now. So all prayers and warm thoughts and support of all kinds are hugely appreciated.
@mrs-b have your doctors checked for https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pheochromocytoma/symptoms-causes/syc-20355367 and/or lupus?
Reading all that you shared in response to Tekate's post gutted me. Sending hugs and keeping you in my thoughts. Are your docs sharing your symptoms with a larger group inside and/or outside the country in the event you've developed something so rare that only a minute number of doctors would recognize your symptoms? I hope you are able to post better news soon.
Here are some videos of Newfoundlands drinking water out of their water bowls. When we first got our Newfie he was already considered full grown (although it turned out that he still had a lot of filling out to do). He weighed 124 pounds. He hated cars but had to be in the very back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive from Cape Cod to southern Connecticut. I had put a large dish of water in the back with him, and and he ended up sitting in it. for the journey. Typical of a Newfie, but I didn't know the breed then as well as I was to come to.
I hope these vdeos lift your spirits.
