unintentional weight loss, joint pain, no period, extreme constipation, zerp appitite, stomach pain

 

Please help (my girlfriend 28 year old mother is literally dying)....doctors trying to figure it out.

 

SYMPTOMS;

 

Started in August, 2012 (5 months ago);

 

42lbs weight loss

 

joint pain - hips always hurt

 

no period - for one year

 

extreme constipation - bowel movement once a week

 

stomach pain - couple times a week stabbing pain which can be short to long periods

 

She has had twitches (sometimes seems her entire body jumps - I counted once and it was happening every 12 seconds, this has mellowed out and happens when she tries to hold still - sleeps), tips of big toes numb, feels as if leans to left when walks (this comes and goes), extreme fatigue (can sleep all day).

 

TESTS- RESULTS;

 

Full blood panel - all good

 

Diabetes - no

 

Thyroid - no

 

Ciliacs - no

 

Upper and Lower Endoscopy - they found several small ulcers (prescribed prilosect)

 

Colonoscopy - stool sample negative for parasites

 

Cat Scan of the abimon - revialed small liver lesion and ovarion syst (prescribed nothing!)

 

MRI of the brain - revialed white spots (doc stated causes could be migraines or infection..she has had neither - nothing prescribed)

 

Servical and Thurasic MRI scheduled for 01/11/2013 - I will update post with results.

 

She was very fit before a horse riding accident which she fractured her L2 in 2011and she became addicted to opiates while dealing with pain as no surgery could fix only time to heal... she has been on suboxone treatment and hasn't taken any opiates for 6months (she is doing really good and I'm very proud of her...most doctors look at the past opiate addiction and brush her aside). She also has seen councilor and was cleared of any phsycological problems.

 

CURRENT MEDICATIONS; Suboxone(opiate treatment), Effexor(depression), Trazadone(sleep/depression), Deplin(blood/brain barrier penetrating folic acid "depression aid")

 

Please help, thank you.
