Suggest Treatment For Dizziness, Headache And Fatigue
My husband had morphine pump removed six weeks ago. He had tests done to make sure no infection. He is severely dizzy, headaches, very very tired, spends 16 to 17 hours a day laying down. He is very shaky. Said he is so weak he doesn t feel like legs will hold him. No one seems to know what is going on, do you have any ideas?
