Bizarre toxic neurological illness after antibiotic/chiropractor!

Crazy story. 2.5 months after having a baby, I had a virus, so I went to dr and he put me on Flagyl. I had a crazy reaction to flagyl and had head pressure and burning mouth, throat, ligh peripheral neuropathy, and tinnitus. It sucked.

After a month the flagyl, symptoms let up, but the tinnitus was still bugging me. After already seeing GP and neurologist, I thought I would try a chiropractor for the first time. Big mistake.

When I went to the chiropractor, she kept saying she wanted to get out the toxins and cracked me like crazy. After leaving I had extreme nausea and then felt like I had a mini-seizure. Then for the next four days, I had the worst headaches of my life. In my face, behind eye, back of head. Suicide pain. I got extreme constipation too that I still have until today.

I was nursing my baby this entire time.

Three days after the headaches started, the baby started vomiting and looked like she had 2 seizures, then she went into a trance and became a zombie and autistic like. Now this was the most playful, smiley baby in the world, and she change in a matter of hours. I freaked. Took her to the pediatrician, they saw it and told me to take her to pediatric neurologist. By the time I took her there a week later she had seem to come out of it, mostly, but she still wasn't playing and smiling like normal.

The same week after my headaches, The peripheral neuropathy came back with a force much stronger than before. Waking me up and excruciating. It now was in new parts of my body.

Then two weeks later I took magnesium and vitamin C. Then the symptoms got worse. Suddenly I was dizzy, and all my senses were off. Like I smoked a joint or something. My senses were heightened. This lasted for 1.5 weeks. Now I was also getting autonomic dysfunction, which means I was getting palpitations, heart racing/slowing, chest pain, and breathing difficulties.

I ended up in the ER and they were confused. All blood tests, mri, ct at this point are normal. They wanted me to go to teaching hospital w a strong neuropathy dept. which I have since. No answers.

When I was in hospital they gave my baby formula (up till this point she was exclusively breastfed.) She became herself again and started to really laugh and play. When I got out of hospital, I missed breastfeeding, and wasn't sure if that was culprit of her being off so I tried it again. She became unresponsive again! My husband and I both witnessed this both times, so I know it's not just me. So I stopped bf indefinitely. And now after a few weeks on formula, she is back to herself.

I was still pumping at this point. Three weeks later I decided to give it a rest. (The sensory issues had gone away but the neuropathy was still bad.)

Then after three days of not pumping my neuropathy got much worse, and then suddenly the sensory issues were back. I also drank orange juice at this time (and only time.) Could this be from Vitamin C releasing toxins from the cells? Could this be from poison breastmilk being reabsorbed into my system when I stopped pumping?

(Also I want to add I've never been sick before except for Arthritis in my knees. It's so bad that I needed a total knee replacement 2 years ago even though I am young. Does this mean I hold more toxins in my joint than others? I am a thin normally healthy young woman.)

I feel toxic and poisoned. I constantly am nauseous and feel like my brain is being pinched inward behind my face. My senses are off (visually and auditory,) i have autonomic dysfunction, painful neuropathy all over my body, and I still have constipation to this day. This has made my life into a nightmare.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Will this go away? Tweet
