Please help. I have been suffering from acute pseudoobstruction on a monthly basis for about a year now and the pain is becoming unbearable. I was diagnosed with lupus about 20 years ago and have experienced hemolytic anemia, a pulmonary hemmorrhage, and nephritis. 'in the last 3 years, my lupus has been attacking my GI system, I have no peristalsis in my esophagus, horrible GERD and heartburn, and these periodic episodes of pseudoobstructiob that now include vomiting. I have lost 30 lbs in the last 3 years and my last WBC count was 1.9! My rheumatologist and hematologist have been trying to help but my GI doc is semi-retired and does not seem to care that I am suffering. I am begining to think that my GI symptoms might not be related to my lupus. Is it possible that it could be something else? A tapeworm maybe? Please help
