Swelling In Face, Painful, Loss Of Appetite. Normal Test Results. Any Ideas?
I have been to doctors and hospitals monthly for the past few years, to no avail have I truly found an answer to whats going. My face swells and becomes painful, "boils" form and take much longer to heal than normal. Antibiotics quit working completely and constantly have an ill, urksome feeling. Appetite in basically nonexistent and have been tested for staph, allergies, tumors and countless others blood tests

Hi
Your history does not give any clue for provisional diagnosis, but whatever you have written, could be a infected boil on your face, any infection on the face it developed the swelling on the face rapidly because of the loose skin of face, your appetite must have gone due to antibiotic and panic, if it is deep seated infection than need debridement ( to remove the infected and dead tissue surgically ) with proper administration of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Have food day
