What Causes Swelling In The Abdomen And Itching In The Underarms?

Hi Doctor, I am writing on behalf of my daughter. She is 50yrs old and doesn t own a computer. So that is why I am doing the asking. She has been sick since March 2014 and has been doctoring since then. Her symptoms are: swollen abdomin, lumps appearing around her body: itching from the inside with no visible signs of any rashes, her itching is under her arm, around her nipple on her arm and this is all on her rights side. She has chills and then sweats, this happens on and off during the day and night. She is not able to eat more than a couple of forkfulls of food at a time and then sometimes it comes right back up, and other times it happens while she is sleeping and has to get up and run to the bathroom and vomit. The other night when she vomited, she said she hadn t eaten much at all for dinner, because she can t and when she vomited it was brown and fowl smelling, which sounds like bowel to me. She has had a cscan, Colonoscopy, endoscopy, and the blood workup she had was very extensive, but to no avail. Her doctor doesn t see anything in any of her tests. She did say that her pancreas showed enzymes showed elevation. Her doctor is scheduling an Upper GI soon. She on her own made a dermatology appt. To date she is very disallusioned and doesn t know where to turn. I mentioned that maybe she should be seen by an infectious disease doctor. That is why I am writing to you. Hopefully, you can help. She is desperate.
