medical assistance

[10*over]

Hi im hopping someone can help point a mate of mine in the right direction. The story is he is pretty crook he has been to countless doctors and specialist and they cant seem to find anything wrong with him. The only thing they found is he has high white blood cells, he was tested for leukemia, allergies and cancer.He tested for everything and they come with nothing, most days he cant get out of bed and he losing weight (he don't have much to lose).his teeth are rotting and falling out. So I guess he just needs a doctor or hospital to take the time and get to the bottom of it. He is in the prime of his life but just to sick to do anything. If anyone knows of a doctor or hospital that's not so main stream or could possibly point him in the right direction. He will travel interstate if he has to. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry its not a happy post.

Hey Mate, hopefully you can find out some answers soon. A high white bloodcell count would normally mean an infection of some kind. Couple of quick questions:
- Where abouts are you based?
- How long has this been happening?
- Did your mate recognise anything prior to getting sick (rashes, bug bites etc)
- What have they tried so far in regards to treatment / antibiotics etc

I know all about searching for answers. My wife was extremely sick for over 10 years and after countless doctors and mis-diagnosis (or from some dr's no diagnosis telling her it was in her head) she has now been diagnosed with Lyme Disease and has been under going intensive treatment for over 12mths.

Not saying that is what this is but I can appreciate your frustration.

Thanks for your reply,sorry to hear about your wife and so pleased she has been diagnosed,we are in Brisbane,its been going on for years id say at least 5.He just started having no energy and laid in bed all day everything he ate would come out the other end terribley he lost heaps of weight,then he had a few tests and they thought it was his tonsils and so they took them out but hes only gotten worse since,as far as we know hes been tested for absolutely everything!No doctor can fnd whats wrong hes had blood work after blood work,tested for every disease they can think of but just getting worse and no answers,he went to the dentist and they told him all his teeth were rotten as no nutrients were going to him he was tested for Lyme disease years ago and was negative,but wandering if he should be tested for things again,only thing that comes up is his white blood cells,he thought it was celiacs but hes been tested for that also
