I'm hoping someone out there can assist me. My boyfriend came down with symptoms over two years ago and they have been progressivly getting worse. It began with severe night sweats and significant weight loss. Over time he continued to lose weight and he is now 139 lbs. at 6th. tall with a total loss of 60lbs.
Over the past 6 months his symptoms have become exacerbated and they include: joint pain, weight loss, severe weakness and he is completely unable to perform daily tasks, periods of daily vomiting, daily diarrhea, severe stomach pain, he says it feels like "his insides are hardening / drying up." he has a new GI doctor at Cedars ( this is his 7th one but first GI) but no diagnosis yet and still many more tests. He was tested for everything including crohns but all negative and the most frustrating thing is that the no one in the medical field seems too concerned that he is 44yrs old and dying. I feel so helpless - he says he can't go on like this. He also has benign pulmonary nodules and I found info rare but connecting the two.
Has anyone had these symptoms?
