REALLY!

The pain is worse than ever in my upper left abdomen, and throughout my back. Feels like something inside of me will surely explode soon. Any slight movement and there is deep, gnawing pain radiating through my left side. Both flanks are extremely tender today. This is where all of my pain started, in my abdomen. I'm getting so f****** fed up with this S***! I guess the doctors are just going to let me die and leave my baby girl behind. The pain is bad enough to go to the hospital, but what for? Just to be told you have gastritis and go home? Doctors should be like lawyers, you don't have to give them your whole d*** paycheck unless they can fix you! Or atleast give a diagnosis. Sorry for the rant, but it's been one hell of a week in my pain hell.

Based on your symptoms and the tests you have had done, this doesn't sound like a GI issue to me.  If it was a GI issue you almost surely would have had GI symptoms (like changes in stool, nausea, vomiting, etc.) or something would have shown up on your colonoscopy or your abdominal CT scan.

2 abdominal CTs, colonoscopy, nerve conduction on all extremities, eeg, brain MRI, ultasound on abdomen, spinal tap, "dizziness test", viral panel(cmv, epstein barr), lymes test, every blood test a rheumotologist orders,cbcs every month, and 4 negative rapid hiv tests. Though those are supposively accurate my GP ordered a western blot hiv test yesteeday

Severe pain my extremities, swollen lymphnodes everywhere, always feel feverish and for good reason. Temp is never normal. Today it's 100.7. Im dizzy whenever i stand and i hear my heartbeat in my left ear constantly accompained by severe headaches and neck pain. The list goes on and on. Im so weak and tired. Before this all started i was such a happy go lucky optimist, that it made most people sick! Now im just crazy per my family, friends and doctors. Thats why.

I would suggest you google special carbohydrate diet and go onto the intro diet for a few days. It usually helps with digestive problems, and might aid you in getting through until the right diagnose comes in.It helped me to keep sane. Good luck!
