It is good that you are getting help with the arachnoid cyst. That may be the source of the nausea and vomiting. The HIDA scan may not be helpful if your boyfriend already had his gallbladder removed and has the brain cyst causing symptoms.

Read the following about heating pad type burns. It can increase risk for certain skin cancers and would be good to stop using since the cause is neurological and not necessarily caused by something wrong in his GI system. He may want to try burn creams, Salonpas Lidocaine pain patches or capsaicin creams if he has any nerve pain on his skin.

Praying for answers and treatment for his cyst. That seems the most urgent issue to address to prevent further damage to his brain/body.

The problem is that we don’t know if its the brain. He’s told them he had the pain issues forever and they’ve never put the two together. He’s told them his head symptoms so many times so he does have gabapentin and some other nerve pain stuff for the shakes. With saying they need to alleviate some cranial pressure because of a recent report I think this is good news. It’s just been so many hoops to jump through to land on where the stomach pain is coming from, which he says is the worst symptom by far that he has and since gi keeps coming up empty maybe this is the prayer we’ve been waiting on!
