Help. Boyfriend is dying, autoimmune disease?My boyfriend is dying. His immune system is shutting down, but the doctors can't figure out why.
He's gone for endless tests, and so far, his brain is fine, his kidneys are fine, so are his lungs, his heart is better than it has been (he has a rare heart condition)
He's going for a liver scan in two weeks,
he's done blood tests,
they've tested for HIV/AIDS, h1n1, bird flu, west nile, etc.
He gets dizzy, has violent vomiting, coughs up blood, he's bled out his ears once, blacked out many times, was unconscious in the hospital for four days. He feels weak, he can't keep any food down, his body rejects everything.
Nothing seems to add up, all his scans are coming back clean, and his blood work shows nothing, but for some reason his immune system is failing.
I don't know how much longer he's going to last, they gave him 6-8 months at best, if they don't figure out whats wrong with him soon. Does anybody have any ideas?
He's also been tested for autoimmune hepatitis, its not lupus, ms, or an STD. he's been tested for all of that.
about his age, he's 23

I am really sorry but It seems like all the tests your talking about is approved meaning they've all been through research and the development process.
Have you tried looking up Experimental Diseases and procedures?
I really hope he feels better Good luck!
God Bless you

The only thing that I can offer as an
explanation to your post...is that he should
be with a Hematologist. He should have
a bone marrow biopsy. The white blood
cells (of the immune system)are produced in the bone marrow and then go to other areas of the body like the thymus gland and lymph system.
Having a problem with the heart, maybe that
his blood isn't circulating well.
Hope you find out what it is very soon, so
he can be treated
