Does anyone know what this condition is.

Swelling of the legs and feet, parathesia in the feet. Rash that is not raised, kinda blotchy and noticeable on the palms and soles, constricted pupils and a burning sensation.

These symptoms are side effects from calcium channel blockers, first from verapamil and now Nimodipine, at first it started when visiting a country with a tropical climate and seemed to get worse when exercising and through caffeine, over time this got worse, alcohol helped make it even worse which led to a deterioration in a bipolar condition and eventually so the docs say a low immunity due to several infections.

Several tests revealed no sign of Hepatitis, HIV or Diabetes.

A year or so ago after taking the drug pregablin (to treat peripheral neuropathy) for a few weeks the drug had the odd side effect of causing what it was meant to treat, kinda like painkillers causing pain. :=/

This went away with the withdrawal of the drug though I suspect some amount of the damage is now permanent.

I can find no literature on this nor any on pregablin causing neuropathy.

The only thing that actually helps is climate control. How on Earth is this possible? Take away the 30C temperatures of India and replace them with the frigid temps of Northern Europe and it's right as rain.

Does anyone know what this could be? What condition or side effect could go systemic causing a complete cluster *** in a persons body?

The withdrawal of the drugs are not an option.

If this was a condition that showed up during their testing and they failed to disclose that as a side effect, then you have grounds to recover some damages (mostly just medical costs). If you are the first one to ever encounter this, then it is not likely. If you have sought second opinions on your symptoms and are not happy with that, your best bet is to consult an attorney and have them examine the facts. The initial consultation should be free, and they could advise you if you have enough evidence to support a claim, or what you must do to obtain that evidence.
