There seems to be a digestive illness going around the Fairfax area. There are 3 known cases with the same exact symptoms and same doctor responses. They don't know what it is. It has lasted for 3 years with one person, 7 months with another and 5 months with the other.
The symptoms are: weight loss (i lost 20lbs in 4 weeks),diarrhea, bloating, sweats, weak/shaking legs, interior shaking (no fever), lightheaded, dizzy, lack of consentration, memory loss, major feeling of just feeling ill not able to go to work and severe anxiety as a symptoms not a cause. The doctors start with parasites, lactose intolerant then celiac (gluten free, must be in style now). Then they go on to colonoscopy and endoscopy with biopsies showing nothing. They have taken so much blood for tests (not sure what for) Finally they go to IBS and it is all in your head. We all know these  illnesses are to just make you go away when they don't have answers. It is not a contagious illness because no other family members have it. The 3 known cases are random acquaintances.
The illness has peeks and valleys but you never feel better. You get some relief from doing something physical and it comes right back the minute you stop and sit down.
I personally have been to 6 doctors. Quit all my regular habits: coffee, nicotine, sugar and junk food with not much improvement.
If any one has or knows of a person in the fairfax area with a similar story (remember this is more than the normal 3-7 day illness we all get, this is a minimum of 4 months). Please send me your story so I can get the doctors to take it more serious. Send to mysteryillness01@yahoo.com

I am thinking CO is like carbon monoxide poison from the furnace. No one else in the house is sick.

If you tested for Lyme only at the local hospitals, they may have missed it.  My daughter went two years with symptoms they could not figure out and said it was all in her head.  Finally went to a specialist in Lyme Disease.  New test, sent to California lab and confirmed as Lyme.  Next problem is that insurance companies will not pay for the continued treatment that is needed for Lyme.

I agree, I have a friend with Lyme disease it sounds like that is what it is.  With the population of Ticks in VT sky rocketing I would really look into that test maybe give it a second shot.

Film called "Under Our Skin" about Lyme disease.  Symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and how the big money insurance companies are preventing treatment.

You may want to check your water supply, septic tank, and your walls.
Walls for when your home was built.

Have you home tested.
It may relieve your symptoms.

I have a co worker who's whole family was sickened due to mold and bacterial growth...for months.
