Question: Hello, i'm a 44 yr. old Male. I have been healthy my whole life with never any issues and no family history of issues. last year in Nov.2011 i woke up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain(just to the left of the belly button).This was after i returned home from a night out to dinner. No other symptoms just terrible stabbing pain. Lasted at least 24hrs. which at 1st i thought was something i ate. A few days later the pain came back and this time with Diarrhea and vomiting. Around 3 weeks after the 1st episode it happened a third time,just the severe abdominal pain & no other symptoms. This finally got me into the ER. The CT scan showed inflammation in the small bowel. After seeing a GI 2 weeks later they noticed my platelets were low (53,000), since the ER visit. We now started to investigate why! I went for a Bone-marrow biopsy,Upper scope,blood work for hiv,hepatitis. A few months past and my CBC looked fine other than the platelets dropping down to 30,000 and ranging between that and 70,000 over the past 14 months. About 6 months into my hands & bottoms of feet started to hurt. We discovered at this point that i was positive XXXXXXX 1:1280 and Vitamin D was low 22.3.Fatigue,difficulty walking from the pain. The pain has become very mild but still exist for about 9 months now. I went in for and MRI cuz' 8 months into it my stomach was feeling off again. There was inflammation the terminal ileum. I went in for a colonoscopy which came back ok. In Sept my neck and shoulders started to hurt and i went for an extra and told there was multi-level degeneratives. That pain has now been for the past 5 months.that is my current syptoms. My last CBC shows Platelets at 65,000 & now glucose high at 117.My life has been turned upside down in the past 14 months and the only thing i'm told is ITP. I have only vomited & Diarrhea the one time last Dec.2011,never noticed any swollen lymph nodes. My mouth 2 times the past year has had a couple canker sores and lesions on the tongue with a little white coating. I have NOT taken any aspirin or any medication at all in over a year other than Vitamin D over the counter and now i've been getting b12 shots every 5 weeks for 2 times so far cause the last Dr. said my level seemed lower than he cared for it to be. My low platelets,fatigue,pain in my neck & shoulders is destroying my life. I don't know what to else to do cause i've been passed around to 2 Hematologist,2 Rheumatologist,2 GI's,Family Dr.,Neurologist.I felt 20 yrs. younger in 2011 and then out of nowhere it's become a mystery. I need my life back. Thank You
