He has been put on a number of meds, some are to deal with the sideaffects of the others.
The latest was the CT scan and the Specialist sent him away without any answers and told him to come back in 4 weeks for a follow up. They are only treating the symptoms through persription, but nothing has even been said about treating the cause.
HELP!!! I can't even describe how frustrating this is, and helpless I feel when he is in so much pain that he can't even work his full time job.
What questions can we ask the doctor?
I have all of the symptoms your husband has except the chronic excurciating pain. That comes and goes with me, and it is relatively mild. I just posted about my treatment for a yeast infection on my skin (behind my knees
, between my toes.) Treatment with 5 days of Diflucan taken orally for the yeast infection resulted in all of my stomach problems going away. I had ALL of the same symptoms your husband has. Problem is, the yeast infections return after 4 - 6 weeks, and that returns all of my other symptoms return.
I'd be curious to know if your husband -- and for that matter you, because my wife gets vaginal yeast infections when I have outbreaks -- has yeast infection problems?
