Constant Infections and Health Issues

[dannyg]

Anyone go through the same thing?

Before last year no issues at all perfectly healthy.

December I was getting sick and developed pots. January my bowel movements stopped. Started losing weight suddenly for no reason muscle mass everything. February the protein in my urine started going up it's been at 30 ever since. Still have severe bowel issues constipation, I don't go for days at a time. March I started having infections urinary tract infections and signs of infections. They still continued till this day. June they told me it was kind of diverticulitis and remove the section of my colon. In May I had an MRI that said my gallbladder was full of sludge. The CT scan I had in January and March said my gallbladder was unremarkable. I had my gallbladder removed last week, they did a biopsy on my liver. I have fatty liver and the results came back that my portal vein is inflamed probably from the disease gallbladder. My gallbladder was having gangrene in it that's in the report. One week later I am still very sick with flu-like symptoms, dark cloudy urine. When I get a urine test it shows I have leukocytes, and my blood test show I have an infection somewhere. White blood cell count is slightly elevated and sometimes the MCV and other numbers are off a little. All the doctors do is give me antibiotics for two weeks, and as soon as I'm done and sometimes the infections never go away. I still have the protein in my urine. I have been to a nephrologist he said it's not my kidneys, my GI doctor says it's not my liver, and all I keep being told is that sometimes things happen we can't explain.

Before the surgery about a month ago I made an appointment with an autonomic specialist. He told me to come back for testing after I get rid of all of these infections. They are interfering with my autonomic system causing it to be inconsistent. He cannot give me an accurate diagnosis while I have infections causing problems.

Has anyone gone through this? Is this pots that's doing all of this causing these infections kidney problems? I have been tested for every hepatitis autoimmune disease, hormone test, and everything comes back good. Nobody can explain why I constantly get these infections or what is causing my body to shut down. Every week it just gets worse. Anybody with pots go through the same thing? I have 11 months of no answers and I can't even find out what kind of pots I have or what because medical conditions keep popping up
