 BHW Resident Surgeon
Posts: 25351
Location: Bastrop, Texas | Sounds like you are on the right track to getting this all sorted out, Jake. The Cleveland Clinic is a class act. While this thread may be reassuring and comforting, odds are you won't find the solution here.
This has been going on for nearly 4 months now. What you really need is a good old fashioned clinician who will sit down and methodically start from scratch, beginning with a thorough history and physical exam. He will go over your symptoms, starting from when this all started. Then he can review your past medical history, family history, and the medications you've been taking since before this all started. Finally, he will do a complete physical exam, head to toe. From there he will order several tests, most likely, and narrow things down. I don't think a bunch of random possibilities thrown out on BHW will give you the answer. Hopefully they will keep looking until it gets figured out. |
