Have Acute Athralgias. Taking Topamax And Keppra. Recent Report Shows Viral Menegitis And Kidney Sepsis. Due To Medications?

Hi there, I have a couple of questions, 1. I've had acute athralgias for around 7 days and my blood results really didnt show anything significant. WCC and Neutrophils were in the normal range for the first time in 2 years at 10.2 and 6.46. CRP was slightly elivated at 6. GGT - 92, ALP - 87, ALT - 53. And Urea 3.6I've recently ceased taking Topamax 850mg per day (staggered decrease over 6 1/2 months) and am now monotherepy on Keppra 2750mg per day. For pain relief, Paracetmol has not been affective and am now taking Di-Gesic to manage. Ibufrofen was helpful for about 2 days - however using it for longer does cause kidney pain - so this was discontinued. (Recent history - include Viral Menegitis in 2012, Kidney Sepsis in 2012 causing moderate kidney damage and 7 UTIs in 12 months. Sexual Health testing was negative for infections. Hospitalised 3 times this year with 2 x kidney infection and once for virus of unknown origin, intially thought to be another bout of menegitis - not identified through CSF. ) I am still awaiting results for Lymes and RRV, however, i havent been in any locations where these would be applicable, unless they have an incubation period of over 5 months. I'm interested to know if this could be a result of withdrawal of topamax and now Keppra only or if this could be just a random viral infection that has come and gone. and 2In an attempt to try and rescue my body from so many medications, I had my Mirena IUD removed on 30 April and today i've noticed a metallic taste over my lips. I did not have these symptoms in the 34 months I had the device. Is this normal? Thanks Ree
