Hello Aprilmarie24,
Your symptoms are not so easily diagnosed. You have a wide range of symptoms affecting various organs and and you have defense mechanisms being activated. If it was your classic cut and dry then the doctors would have already diagnosed you. When a body is trying to fight several foreign invaders at the same time it makes it hard to diagnose.
Nitrofurantion- side effects- chest pain, anorexia, vomitting, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, blood dyscrasias (too low or too high blood cell counts).
It was good the doctor took you off of it because your symptoms could be side effects to nitrofurantion.
Viral myositis is very broad. DO you know what kind of viral myositis it was? Viral Myositis can be contracted via influenza virus, enteric (GI tract) , yellow fever, HIV, chicken pox, common cold, etc... Usually viral infections can be detected in your blood work, even at the end of your symptoms, I don't know of any that can't be detected. But I am sure they are out there.
Fluid around your heart is normal more than a little is not normal. Your heart need sthe fluid so it can pump without friction. If there is too much fluid then your heart will have problems expanding becuase now the space to expand has been reduced. If the second doctor is questioning it when the first doctor didn't, your fluid levels could be borderlined between what is acceptable and what is not. Or your fluid levels have increased since the first doctor has seen you. I do hope that all the doctors are communicating with each other. I would recommend you get a copy of all your tests, xrays, ultrasound, and diagnoses. It's always good to have a copy of your medical records. More than a little fluid around your heart will cause chest pain. This is a symptom that is seperate of any STD's & UTI's. There are medications that will reduce the fluid if your doctor feels it's necessary.
Abdominal cramping? Are you having regular Bowel movements? Is your cramping higher above the abdomen or more below the abdomen? What do you mean by noises? When do they occur? Before meals, after meals, at night, during the day, in the morning? Are you experiencing more than normal flatulence?
Anxiety can cause sharp pains in your chest as well. Anxiety is only taking away the energy needed to fight the current infections going on. If there is any way you can teach yourself to try to reduce your anxeity it will only benefit you in the long run. Low wbc's also occur when your body has depleted most of it's wbc's fighting an infection(s).
What type of pain is it? Is it localized or does it occur all over? Is it sharp like pins and needles? or a throbbing pain? When you tyalk to your doctor it is always best to describe in as much detail as possible. It is also important to keep a pain diary. You need to document the time, date, description of the pain, the activity you were doing just prior to receiving the pain, what you were thinking at the time (it could be related to anxiety), and if you took anything to relieve the pain and if it helped. Also let your doctors know of any vitamins or supplements you are taking as well. The more they know the more they can accurately diagnose you.
Maybe you could also request to see an oncologist. They specialize in difficult diagnoses.
I hope I was a little bit of help to you.
