Hello, I'm new to the forum and desperate for an answer. I have been sick for a few years now and I been partially diagnosed...the doctor's THINK it's SOD.
I am on no medications and am currently trying to figure out what the hell I'm gonna do. My docs have no clue what's going on. My GI thinks I might have Sphincter of Oddi Dysfuntion (attacks even post gall bladder removal)...which is not autoimmune...but it is extremely debilitating... Autoimmune runs bad in my family...SOD does sound like a likely culprit.
Nerve pain that is similar to sciatic pain. Come and goes.
Mild numbness in hands and feet for 10 years. Intermittent and varying in degree.
Mild arthritis symptoms in hands and wrists for 10 years. Intermittent and varying in degree.
Abdominal attacks that last from 2-8 hours. Attacks even post cholestectomy.
Chronic upper right quadrant tenderness. Felt every day/every minute. Degree of pain changes throughout day and is much worse with stress.
Started 3 weeks prior to cholestectomy.
Heartburn.
Debilitating nausea. Worse with menstruation and stress.
Intermittent sever diarrhea. Worse around menstruation and stress.
No appetite
Significant weight loss
Hair loss
Hot flashes
Migraines centered behind right eye.
Light sensitivity
Bumpy rash on elbows that lasted 2 weeks.
Urine often is very cloudy with stuff in it.
Organ in right upper quadrant seems to be swollen on and off. The cloudiness of urine increases when the organ is more swollen. Also, after I eat my stomach sticks out and my belly is swollen around my belly button but mostly on the left side.
3 mm Calculli on right kidney.
Dizziness while on computers, and in large crowds. Intermittent and varying in degree.
When the dizziness occurs, patient feels disoriented.
Bladder infection-like symptoms with no infection/nothing grew out in culture.
Moving burning skin with NO visible irritation. 80% of burning sensation is on right side. Gone within 2 weeks. Excruciatingly painful.
Chronic Fatique
Sorry for the long post.....look familiar to anyone?

If anyone has any information, please write me! I am trying to decide if I need to go to University of Indiana, or stay here in Kansas City and ask for a colonoscopy. I've had every other GI test....no biopsy for Crohn's but a Small Bowel Followup that came up negative. I have had some blood in my stool in the past, but not within the 5 months.
