To start out, you cannot imagine what my son has been through. 1st off...he weighed 275 lbs (3) months ago. Now at 220 lbs, because he's in to much pain to eat. Has had intense, excruiating pain in lower right quadrant area for the past 3 months. Has had 17 visits to the ER and been admitted 5 times due to the amount of pain he is in. Has had 4 CT scans,(3) MRI's, Colonoscopy, Xrays, CBC's (unbelivable amount of times) and put on a glutin free diet. The pain doesn't stop. They have ruled out Krones disease and irratiable bowel syndrome.
I got mad and took him to Virginia Mason in Seattle to see if they could help. They looked over his chart, did another CT scan and said they only found one lymph node that was not normal. They want to biopsy it, but the ER docs in Vancouver state that it is not big enough to biopsy. He doesn't have any elevated white count, which constitutes no infection, thus no problem. They gave him a shrink in the hospital and he stated that he is perfectly fine. They hospitalize him then release him (as he has no insurance at this time because he cannot hold a job, due to the pain) and send him home with massive pain relief. They treat him with Morphine & Deladin in the hospital. Now if there is NOTHING supposedly wrong with him, then why are you treating him with this kind of medication???? They have no answer to this.
NORMAL KIDS DON"T LOSE THIS MUCH WEIGHT IN 3 MONTHS! Normal kids can eat! He loves to eat, thus his high weight 3 months ago.
There is something wrong with him. And as a mother, watching your son cry constantly and asking me to help him, it vertually killing me! I am not made of money and the cannot get assistance cause I make 50K/year. But after 100K in hospital bills, another 500 a month in prescrption's to pay for, and yet no diagnosis and no better off then we were before, I don't know what to do.
Please, please, please, someone help us! Help him. Just takes one person to have another idea.
