Hello,
For the past three months, my boyfriend has been suffering from the following:
abdominal pain: came on suddenly one night and hasn't left since. It's gotten worse over time and no drugs (acetaminophen, codiene, ASA, buscopan, sulcrate, antacids) have helped with relief. While the pain is constantly there, it increases and decreased in waves. It's in his lower abdomen and there are no triggers to it. It is worse in the morning.
chest pain: sharp pain in the centre of his chest.
headaches
chills: it can be 25' in the house and he'll be freezing.
muscle/joint pain: brought on by no triggers
skin lesions: a group of blisters on his inside thigh and side of his foot. There are also irritations on his scalp. It looks as though there are about 5-7 hairs coming from one pore. The area around it is scabby, and it's soft to the touch, kind of spongy. When pressing on these areas, they hurt.
Weight loss: he's lost around 35 lbs even though he's not eating less.
Fatigue, exhaustion.
The tests which have come back normal:
Gastroscopy
Colonscopy
Barium Upper GI Xray
Barium Lower GI Xray
Blood tests (TBC, WBC, regular enzymes)
Urine tests
Bone Xrays
Ultrasound
Has anyone ever experienced something similar, or have any insights? Thank you :)
