SAVE A LIFE BY READING THIS STORY

It all started in sometime around September 2017 when i was working out at the gym and then I started experiencing a severe headache that lasted for so long and wouldn’t stop aso from after that day i had something like cold and flu which also lasted for over a weekend and refused to go away.

I went on to see my doctor and then he gave me antibiotics in which i started taking and things started to get worse where I experienced severe anxiety, panic disorder, tightness of my chest, unable to breath, lack of appetite, fever and weakness, muscle twitches,sharp chest pains,sweating of my hands and feet,palpitations, abdominal pain, pain beside my kidney or the kidney itself, frequently urinating and constant headache on different sides of the head, i did a CT scan on my abdominal area which shows that there is nothing wrong inside


I then went to dakar to meet a doctor and then i did a couple of medical and blood test and then the doctor told me that i am suffering from Spasmophilia which is the cause of my illness and i also had I.B.S meaning irritable bowel syndrome so the doctor then prescribed some drugs for me and these were some of the drugs he prescribed for me (sympathyl, melex, normix and calcidenk)which I took and then after a few weeks I felt a lot better and note ! This was in 2017 then when i came back home to Gambia after a few weeks I experienced almost the same symptoms where I couldn’t breathe and I felt so sick and weak and vomiting too so I called my doctor and explained my symptoms to him so he said i have influenza and i had to take antibiotics so I took a complete dose of antibiotics and it went up to a week or more the I felt better again.

So i started getting very frequent infections and get sick too often , experiencing swollen lymph nodes like every other week and getting cold and flue like every other month which which will last for almost 2weeks or more where in i will be talking different medication for cold and flu to fight it off so this is been going on since 2017 till date but the problems i have often these days is i feel is time to time i feel so weak ,lack of energy and shortness of breath mostly during the day with headache, mostly on certain sides of the head like something is in there, anxiety , confusion and lack of concentration , i also feel pain on my left kidney area which I think is the kidney but the pain also comes and goes it can happen a couple of over ten times a day sometimes

The other issue is that whenever i have a cold, flue or sore throat it is always accompanied with a high fever , loss of appetite, joint and body pain and even vomiting sometimes....
I have also being taking a couple of vitamins and minerals like vitamin b, vitamin d, vitamin c, magnesium, and calcium supplements so my conclusion is i want to know what exactly is wrong with me cause if it was only Spasmophilia i Don’t think it would continue acting this way whilst am still seriously taking the treatment so therefore i would really want to know what exactly is wrong with me so I would like to see a specialist of these symptoms/condition or anyone who might have an idea.
