Clint you and your will be in my prayers. I went thru a something like that a few years back. I was told there is a sack in the middle of the heart that controls the electrical part of the heart beat and for some reason mine got to miss firing. There are drugs that they could have put me on but lots or side effects and pricy. We took the wait and see road , I still have them sometimes but not as bad or as often. It is scary it feels like a bird in your chest trying to take off and spikes your blood pressure.

Wow Clint, I've been away too long.  Praying for y'all down here in Texas.

But, on top of all that is going on, he has broken out in a bad rash.  It started on his torso and has spread to his arms and legs. 

My daughter gets a similar rash from sorbitol products. It took us about two years to put the pieces together and figure out what was causing it. She always got the rash after she got sick, so we assumed it was autoimmune. The first time she got sick and we tried giving her pills instead of children's medicine, presto, no rash.



Has he been taking lots of liquid meds? You might see if you can get it formulated without all that extra crud they put in kids medicine.

More prayers on the way from Pa, hang in there Clint.

[Trapper Rob]

Still praying for your family.

[osage outlaw]

Thanks guys.

He hasn't taken any liquid medicine.  The Dr. called today and said he was negative for Crohns disease which is good news.  We keep eliminating things one at a time.  It would be nice to finally hit on something.  At least then we would know what it is and what to do about it.

Tell Maxwell, he's got a lot of folks pulling for him. 

I can only image the frustration of unknowning.  You all are still in our thoughts and prayers.

[YosemiteBen]

for rash relief try a baking soda or oat meal bath. If all else fails use good old fashioned mud.

While waiting for some answers, might try altering his diet for gluten etc. I sure hope you guys get some answers and solutions soon Clint. Praying!
