What specialists has she seen, particularly GI/maybe OBgyn/Endocrinologist?
If so, what do they say? This is kinda way above all our respective pay grades
We’ve been all over! Obgyn, half a dozen family doctors, GI specialist, cardiologist, therapists, endocrinologist, acupuncturist, half a dozen hospital trips to get IVs where we spoke we all the nurses and doctors we could, and paramedics when she was taken to the hospital. I’m sure I’ve missed some specialists. It’s always a “I have no idea what this is, I’ll refer you back to your family doctor”. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to push for diagnoses like h pylori but it’s been dead ends so far. I routinely export the hospitals charts to compile the data on my own to find trends and outlier values but nothing fruitful yet.
Most certainly above our pay grades. Definitely not looking for medical advice, more a plea for similar experiences to see what we could try next!
Thanks for your time and the post.
Does she have any history of eating disorders/body dysmorphia? You didn’t mention psychiatrist or any mental health leaning specialties and I wonder if its entirely physical or if theres a psychic component…Does she have any significant trauma history?
Maybe do an AskLemmy or the Reddit subreddit where medical professionals respond to differential diagnoses/mysteries and sometimes get to something
