What Causes Stomach Pain While Suffering From Lupus, UTI And IBS?
My wife is 75 yrs, old. She has just e released from the hospital after an almost 6 week stay. She was admitted for CDiff, UTI, Anemia and Thrush. She has RA, stage 3 CKD, Lupus, Myesthenia Gravis and IBS. She is complaining of pain in her stomach and is refusing to eat. I think the pain in her stomach is because she is starving to death. Her last trip to the Dr. she weighed just 89lbs. She is 5 2 , medium build.
