Looking for answers for undiagnosed symptoms

[Mikkaphillips]

Hello everyone. I am a 39 yr old married man. I have been experiencing multiple reoccurring symptoms for the past 3 yrs. my symptoms include the following: joint/muscle pain(particularly hands,hips,legs,knees), fatigue, cervical lymph node swelling, night sweats, sudden weight loss at the beginning but since has leveled and I have maintained, pimple like rash on torso and back, skin pain, and at times the areas where my veins are can be tender. I have been seeing my pcp regularly, have been seen at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota by internal med, GI,rheumatology, seen a local rheumatologist, seen a oncologist/hematologist and have gotten NO answers/diagnosis. I continue to work with little to no absence cause I can work from home. I struggle through most days hiding the pain. I have stopped all pain medication because I was on morphine and do not want to become an opiate addict. I did not receive much benefit from it anyway. NSAIDs do help but barely break the edge. I just want to be diagnosed and treated to have my life back. Can anyone help?

Hello~I am so sorry you are having all these issues with no relief.

Have you seen a neurologist? Some of this maybe due to Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or at worst, cancer or Multiple Sclerosis. There are tests for most all these, I would insist on having them.

I wish I had some idea or answers for you, but I just don't. Keep seeing your doctor until he gives you some definite diagnosis.  I hope you feel better soon. God bless you.
