Hi everyone, My name is Callan I'm a 18-year-old from Melbourne Australia.
For the last 11 or so weeks I've had a very bad unexplained illness. My worst symptoms are, bad nausea and vomiting unless I take 2 - 3 tablets of Maxilon (10mg metoclopramide) per day. Other symptoms include constant changing from Constipation to Diorreah and constant bow problems including bad pains in my lower body.
Symptoms range from being not so bad, to very bad, to manageable, straight to horrible.
Why is this post in the Mental Conditions? Because I've been seeing my doctor for about 8 weeks of this problem now, and have had all of the following tests;
* CT Scan of Brain (without intravenous contrast enhancement)
* FES-0 (Iron Studies)
* MBI-0 (General Biochemistry)
* TFT-0 (Thyroid Function Test)
* CRP-0 (C-Reactive Protein)
* GLU-0 (Glucoses)
* CLC-0 (Coeliac Panel)
* FZ-0 (Faeces M/C/S)
* Ultrasound of Upper Abdomen
* Gastroscopy
* FBE-0 (Full Blood Examination)
And all have come back with NOTHING abnormal (aside from a small hiatus hernia in the Gastroscopy).
I am also currently on Effexor-XR 150mg Once Daily for depression and anxiety and have been for about 6 months.
I also recently quit my job of 5 months because I was just too sick. I've also been quite un-usual lately, my head constantly feels light even when I've had maxilon.
The doctors still have next to no idea whats wrong with me, still "No cause for symptoms."
