About a year ago I traveled through the High Desert in CA and then to Sedona and Phoenix, AZ. One morning while in Phoenix I woke up with a weird rash on my chin, it was several symmetrical dots lined up in a square pattern as if I had fallen asleep on some kind of patterned fabric but the rash was raised and stuck around for a few days. It may be worth mentioning that I did notice swollen lymph nodes in my armpits shortly before I left but my doctor said it was nothing to worry about. Those same lymph nodes are still swollen today.

I then started vomiting very frequently and getting really bad night sweats. After many different tests (CT, Gastro dumping, etc...) I was told that I would just have to live with the vomiting and was put on Marinol to try and control it a little bit. I still vomit about every other day and have night sweats every night (Even though I turn down the heater to 60 at night).

About 5 weeks ago I came down with severe flu like symptoms. No treatment was given, was told to try and take in fluids. About the same time I was getting over the flu I came down with an upper respiratory infection. After a CBC my WBC came out to 14.1 and I was immediately put on 1000mg per day of both Ciprofloxacin and Flagyl for 7 days.

Once those were finished I was still having a hard time breathing and wheezing quite loudly so I went back and was put on a Z-pack and prednisone after a WBC came back of 12.3.

3 days ago I woke up (after a short 20 minute nap) with severe pain in my elbows, knees, back, hips, and even my finger joints. I finished the Z-pack and prednisone a couple of days ago so I visited my doctor again today. This time my WBC came back as 16.2.

Throughout the last 5 weeks I have lost about 30 pounds (I am very large but this is still a big percentage of weight to lose in 5 weeks). I had my gallbladder out at 18 and have a history of PCOS and Endometrial Hyperplasia. I also have asthma and hay fever. Over the last 3 years I have had to have several staph infections surgically lanced on my breasts and about 3 months ago I tested positive for MRSA in one of those abscesses.

At this point I guess my main complaints are the night sweats, frequent vomiting, and extreme joint pain (although I can't feel it, the high WBC does worry me as well).

I am only 24 years old and sometimes I feel like I'm 80. I'm not really sure where to go with this from here, if you could just point me in a direction to research I would really appreciate it!
