I couldn't seem to find a Doc who had a whole clue, just people who are experts at one thing or another. The problem as I see it is communication - once I got on the phone with a friend of mine in Canada and he start throwing questions at me we narrowed my problem done to a probable explanation for my weird symptoms.
See I accidentally chugged some isopropanol and my blood screen showed high bilirubin (when you bruise and it turns yellow after a few days - that's the stuff) which usually indicates that blood cells are being broken down somewhere, but because of my poisoning the doctors assumed the problem was in my liver, because the liver is supposed to clear out the bilirubin. Now my crap was as yellow as can be which means that the liver was doing an exemplary job, so the doctors were all confused. They ignored my complaint of dizziness and problems in the front of my skull (dumb - they said it was probably stress) and problems concentrating. So when the Canadian doctors asked for an MRI it turned out my sinuses had blood clots and were bleeding out INSIDE (not in my nose), and putting pressure on my optic nerves and forebrain. What they figure is that my sinuses were f$*!ed up because the Chinese stomach flush was done very poorly and some of the poison came out through my nose during convulsions, got trapped there, and well... REALLY F&$!ED ME UP. Because of their being f~%!ed up they decided that they didn't want old kruely drinking coffee any more and so every time I dosed up they got BIGGER and I got MORE F~&!ED UP. Lasted a month. Still no Joe for me. The good news is that I seem to be fine now.

If they don't know what's wrong the doctor says one of two things: (1) You're dying or (2) You're going to be fine, go home and rest. (2) Tends to result in you dying in your sleep while (1) seems to cause the sudden proliferation of grey hair.

I'm feeling pretty good. That was a rough month, especially the part where the doctor told me I was dying. Morons...
