Suggest Remedy For Extreme Tiredness With Numbness In Legs And Sizziness

I have had temperatures between 99-101.6, and usually about 99.6 most days, almost all day long. This began after a sewage line backup in my basement apartment. The first sign was extreme tiredness by eleven a m each day, even though I went to sleep usually about 8 pm and woke up at about 6:30 am. My legs began prickling and tingling and then started going completely numb in my feet at times, sometimes in leg muscles, once in face. At night my legs do this strange twitching pattern. Shortly after the sewage exposure I noticed a dot between two teeth. This grew and over the course of about 4 months, was covering 1/2 of two teeth. This is when I began seeking medical advice, as I was also experiencing odd episodes of dizziness and difficulty walking. I was told that I had scurvy, low potassium, low b vitamin, anemia, and thyroid problem. I was put on the highest dose of gabapentin, 324mg Ferrous gluconate, 1000 mg vitamin C, and have also had several courses of anitbiotics for ongoing strep. WHAT can I do? The growth was removed and has no sign of cancer. They have removed the wood over the brick wall in my bedroom and found it to be black with mold. This was sandblasted and treated along with the same issue in another room, but no other walls. I cannot move right now. I don t know what to do to feel better. I am so dizzy it feels as though I am drunk sometimes, although I don t drink and my iron/hemogoblin and other blood tests came back okay after being on medicine.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I understand how terrible you must be feeling having to deal with so much in just a little while alongside a rapid change in your over all general status. It would be difficult to tell what the exact problem is without a complete medical testing and laboratory investigations. I suggest you return to your doctors for a follow up visit. if there is progress, then that is fine but if symptoms are getting worse, then you would need to get the diagnosis reconsidered and treatment plan modified.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
