Hi , I have been unwell since XXXXXXX 4th with all the following problems

I had pneumonia which was treated in hospital, then I had a lung biopsy and had a reaction following it and my whole body came up in a rash, which took 2 weeks to go. I had chest pain and still do and have a tightness in my chest all the time.

While in hospital I contracted ecoli and I also had pericarditis.

Following 6 weeks in hospital I was discharged with no follow up or diagnosis. A couple of weeks later I was admitted to another hospital and they discovered I had type 2 diabetes and a 7cm hernia which was leaking into my chest thus causing all the

chest infections I'm getting.

After meeting a surgeon he decided I wasn't a candidate for surgery and then they thought it was my Vagus nerve. Again discharged with no diagnosis.

Another Consultant I was seeing for skin mole removal suggested that I could have Sarcoidosis.

I got a new set of blood tests done and the results are below. Clearly there is something wrong with me and I would love your input.



My ALT level was 60 I.U./L range 0.-50

ferritin 366 ng/ml 16.-215



Liver antibodies

Antinuclear factor Positive

Anti smooth muscle antibodies Positive

ANF Pattern Speckled

ANF TITRE 1:200 <1:80

SMA TITRE 1/80 <1/40



My cholesterol readings were high too so I am on Crestor also.

I constantly feel unwell and I have night sweats, following eating a meal I start to feel sleepy and have severe fatigue.

I was a very fit person and enjoyed sports but am now unwell most of the time.

I look forward to your reply
