Hi,
I have been undiagnosed since 2006ish. I had already gone 10 years without a diagnosis until one doc found endometriosis and I had a partial hystorectomy in 2002.
In 2006, the following syptoms started - and no one has given me any diagnosis. Tests for MS and Lupus were negative.
Low grade fever – Every night for last few months (Oct 2008-present) As of April 2009 it is beginning to be all day, every day, low grade during day and higher at night.
Dizziness – last few days (Late April 2009) – present
Pins and needles – off and on last couple of weeks (April 2009) - present – Has been very painful
Once on hand, once entire body. Previously has this as well on left side of body in 2006-2008
Slurred speech – 2006-2008, again last few weeks
Impaired thinking/confusion – 2006-present
Impaired memory – progressively worse, 2006 – present
Sensitivity to heat and cold, especially water – off and on 2006 – present
Joint pain – late April 2009. Progressively getting worse.
Wrists, knees, ankles, have progressed to finger joints
Feeling of burning on face – late April 2009 – present
Tremors – 2006-2007, began again April 2009
Clumsiness/falling down – 2006-2007, began again April 2009
Chest Pain – April 2009 - present – intermittent
Headaches – every night Jan 2009 – present
Cold hands and feet – 2006 – present
Rash on face that comes and goes – April 2009 – present

If anyone knows anything, I would be grateful.

I have been though so many tests, I doubt I can remember them all. EMG, MRI's (many) the vision test that they use for MS, lumbar puncture, many, many blood tests (ANA is neg). All we have found out is that I have high cholesterol and low vitamin D. In Jan I had high blood sugar, but that is down to normal now.
I am on Zocor for high cholesterol, Vicodin for my joint pain (both starting today) Vitamin D supplement, Prozac for depression, Serequel for hallucinations and anxiety, Tegretol for Bipolar 2. Those all began March 18.
Thank god for my psych meds or I truely would be going nuts by now.

Wow you've got a few allergies going on there  .. Allergy tests can't pick up everything so I guess eliminating and sticking with it for at least 6 months before you say "no difference" might be worth while. There were a few things that came back normal (no allergy for me) but infact I tested these things later on and found I was annoyed by them. I've had dogs all my life and never been affected, but recently found the minute I pat them I start to itch, so despite the allergy tests clear I do infact have issues with it.. Anyway just a thought, you never know Keilia. Keep a food diary and be very strict (boring and a little bit of nuisance but worth it in the long run) You'd be surprised what allergies can do to the body...I'm thinking high fever could very well be one of them. Considering the additives and preservatives in foods these days... xxx Sammy
