   Help plz. 18 y/o w/rare medical problem (Open to All Health Related Topics board)

8th June 2005
Turns out the ACTH Stimulation Test indicated that my adrenal glands are responding perfectly fine... UGH!

I have done some searching online and Mitral Valve Prolapse seems like the only likely explanation at this point.

"People with mitral valve prolapse are especially sensitive to all kinds of drugs and medications." ConsciousChoice: Mitral Valve Prolapse

"i have a mild prolapse of my mitral valve...there are some odd symptoms...sensitivity to drugs, if it's stronger than Tylenol my body freaks out, imagine the aftermath of the Demerol a mean nurse gave me" Blogger: janebejane.com

"Most people with MVP have no symptoms...Those who do usually experience one or more of the following:...Extreme sensitivity to medications" Heart1.com

On Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome: Research & Support Website a thread on the forum asks, "what other health problems you guys have besides MVPS??" Of the approx 25 replies to the post, at least ELEVEN PEOPLE listed 'sensitivity to meds or drugs' as one of the symptoms they have along with MVP or MVPS.

I'm not going to be able to start college this fall if I don't get a solution to this... Maybe MVP isn't the cause, but I just hope God leads me to an answer soon enough. I am going to see a cardiologist tomorrow in Houston, and I am going to request that he check me for MVP through an Echocardiogram (not to be confused with an electrocardiogram).

Any advice, knowledge, comments are still welcome and appreciated.

Sincerely,
Derek
