A little over a month ago I had and abortion for genetic medical reasons. Well things have not been the same afterwards. I think I might have had a bladder infection after that. A week after my abortion I felt sharp pain in my chest and in my left arm. Next day it was in my shoulders then my neck and then my right arm. I was have terrible head aches and felt dizzy and started to get some ear pain. Anyways I went to the doctor and found out that I had an ear infection. A that time my diabled two year old and my 8 month old dauther were started to get sick. They ended up with pnomonia and double ear infection. I ended up with the flu. I was up all night with them while having the flu and while bleeding from the abortion. Now its been a month and my flu has gone but I have pain all over my body and extreme fatigue. I have severe headaches and trouble breathing especially while lying down. I have heart burn, nausea, loss of appitite and stomach ache. Im also caughing a little. I have gone to two neuros and a reumotologist. Everything was normal except for a borderline ana which might of been becuse my blood was taken while I was sick and while I was antibiotics. The reumo thinks that it is a reactive authritis. My pain is all over and my joints are not inflamed red or swollen. They just hurt alot. Do you have to have red inflamed joints inorder of have reactive athritis? And can it be all over especially in tmj. They also dont know what virus could have caused this. Although from what I have read I think bladder infections can cause it.
