Continuous Stomach Problems, Tons of Tests, No Answers Posted: 09-05-07 10:39am
My husband has been very sick for about 8
months. He experiences very strong
abdominal pain, and at its worst we go to
the ER. He will go into vomitting fits
that last sometimes up to 5 hrs. He
always has diaahrea, at least 3-4 times
daily. He has undergone every test
possible, upper GI, lower GI, CT Scan,
ultrasounds, blood tests, colonoscopy,
urine tests, a small intestine test where
they check for blockages, and this week is
going to an allergist. It seems as though
everything always comes back normal. The
doctors have ruled out chrone's, cancer,
all inflammatory diseases, gallbladder,
pancreas, and appendix. He has been out
of work for weeks, and the condition seems
to be getting worse and worse. When it
began it only happened (vomitting and
pain) every few weeks or so, now its
daily. He has been hospitalized 3 times,
and still no answers. Last night he
started running a fever of about 102 and
has an achey body. It seems like his
immune system cannot handle anymore.
There has been talk of the Cleveland
Clinic. We are beginning to lose hope.
