Dear Doctor,
I'm a 29 years old male.
Since 1997 I've had recurring symptoms:
Nagging pain in lower part of stomach, accompanied by
increasing stool upset, rheumatic pain in body,
and temperature between 37.1 - 38.5 t C.
Such condition lasted 1 - 2 days and ceased by itself.
It would recur twice, thrice a year.
I'd passed colonoscopy in 2004, which revealed follicles in ileum
("limpho-follicular hyperplasia of the ileum terminal section").
No medication was proscribed.
In about a year, during another recurrence I'd passed the new colonoscopy
(in 2005), which diagnosed "erosive ileitis"
("in terminal part of ileum there are 0.1-0.2 sm erosions with thin fibrin coating")
I received no prescription and no concrete diagnose that time as well.
Symptoms keep recurring. Often not severely pronounced
(temperature 37.1, slight stool upsets, rheumatic pain),
but lately they last more than 10 days .
What should I do to find the cause of these symptoms?
Thank you.
PS:
One doctor suggested that I pass tests for a special "periodical armenian decease".
(I've also had a duodenal ulcer.
In 1997 I had 1st duodenal ulcer occurrence.
After recurrence I'd passed an antihelicobacter
therapy in 2003. In 2005 gastroscopy with the test
revealed no helicobacter infection and no ulcer.)
