@cwebster84 All of those conditions together do sound like too much for any one person to handle! I am so sorry both of you are having to deal with this. Have you gotten a second opinion? I would suggest that you find a large medical center near you and ask for a internal medicine doctor. This doctor should be able to figure out a common cause. If you would like to try the possibility of the Mayo Clinic, here is a link

I actually just submitted a referral to Mayo in Jacksonville. I would say the most difficult issue is his constant pain from his back. However, he just doesn't feel well a lot of times because his WBC will shoot up and even the hematologist he sees can't really say why it happens. I. December it was 22.7, at the end of January it was 20 and then it started trending down to 11.85 but he didn't take antibiotics. He was admitted to the hospital on Monday and it was back to 16 and his lipase was 1129. Everytime he goes to the hospital he is admitted because his blood work is off but they can't ever find the exact reason.
