Undiagnosed And Scared... Please Help. Posted: 01-19-07 21:44pm
I am 17 yrs. Old and have been
progressively getting sicker for over a
year. The past 7 months have been the
worst, with nearly constant abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, difficulty passing
gas, middle back pain, extreme tenderness
of the stomach, sides and back, heartburn
and chest pain, occasional pale fatty
stool, blood in stool(nright red) and
vomit(both red and black). I was
misdiagnosed with celiac disease, and
since then have been found to have a
hiatal hernia and barrett esophagus. My
gastroenterologist is convinced something
else is going on. In the meantime I have
no energy and this is affecting my life
greatly. I've dropped to 100 pounds, have
had to temporarily stop my schooling, and
go on sick leave from work, which I really
can't afford. I am overwhelmed and
running out of options, with my doctor
getting no closer. If anyone has an
opinion on what it could be, i'd greatly
appreciate it. Thanks.
