I've been around for a while, but have never had the nerve to "tell all"
I have severe fibroymalgia/chronic fatigue for 3 years. I had been on minimum dose Prozac for 10 + years prior to that. I've tried most SSRI's and a lot of tricy. On a lot of medication I have an "opposite" reaction.
For the past year I have been on Prozac -80mg (to stop crying) , Wellbutrin 300mg (?) and Ritilan-60mg (to cut through the fog) I also take about 3-4 Tylenol #4's for the pain. I also take .0125 Synthroid and Climara and a multivitamin. I give myself B12/folic acid shots weekly. But there have been no new meds introduced in a long , longtime.
I am under the care of a MD, pain specialist, and psychiatrist.
HELP......For the past 2 months I have had this intense metalic taste in my mouth that is driving me crazy. And my medications have reduced their effectiveness. I am also having a feverish feeling, but no high temperature, although the malaise is overwhelming.
The doctors are stumped. Other than high Mono% count and low RBC my blood work comes out within range.
I could really use some ideas. I can't even find anything doing web searches either. So even if I get a handle on the pain, the malaise, feverish feeling and horrible taste in my mouth is making my life miserable.
Any idea for testing or direction on what to look for would be so appreciated. I have gained so much insight from this site and hopefully I can give a fresh perspective to my doctors.
Thanks so much.This board has been such a blessing to me.
