Suggest Treatment For Devic S Disease
I am experiencing fatigue,swollen glands in front of neck and back of neck below my hair line. My head feels like it has alot of pressure and headache. I have a pressure on left side of my ribcage, I am very tired and it takes a lot just walk a short distance. Legs feel heavy and weak. Sporadic fever, night sweats, chills and I feel dizzy and nauseous laying down. I do have Devic s disease a form of MS, but this is not the regular flare up nor does it feel like the flu

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a possible infection. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- A chest X-ray study
- A blood bacterial culture
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR.
Consulting with an infectious disease specialist may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
