What Causes Fatigue, Muscle Pain, Red Eye Attacks And Stiff Joints?

My son has had all the symptoms of Lyme,s disease except the rash. He has suffered greatly with fatigue, muscle pain ,red eye attacks, and stiffness all over in his joints. He went to the Cleveland Clinic and they could not diagnose him. Did a blood test for lymes but it was negative. They did not test spinal fluid for lymes. His life is miserable. CClinic just told him he had moderate to severe nerve damage and he would have to live with it. They were sorry they could not help him. That was last October he is even worse now and just frustrated and despairing of ever getting help. What should he do. His local doctors gave up and sent him to the Cleveland clinic. He has no where to turn and owes a lot of money to the clinic that could not help him.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Consult a specialist in a communicable disease or a rheumatologist considering the symptoms and long nature of suffering. Second opinion helps the think differently and thus may help to get a proper cause of symptoms. Till then symptomatic treatment alone can help. It also looks there must a great stress and anxiety for your son and family and this should be avoided or controlled with medicines if required.

Fibromyalgia, Chikanguniya like viral disease do not have a specific treatment hence symptomatic treatment. Naturopathy, identifying the foods and beverages and other factors that instigate or enhance the symptoms should be stopped. Detailed observation and noting in a notebook so that your Doctors can study will and helps accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
