I know I shouldn't be doing this on the internet, but we really can't work out what my DH has/had despite having been looked at by various specialists. He is 72.
A few weeks ago, I went off on a Monday morning for a pedicure. Whilst I was away, I did the weekly shop so I was gone for some 2-3 hours in all. DH had been fine when I left, reading the paper, having breakfast.
When I came home he was in a pitiful state. He said that just after I left he came over funny, started shaking and developed a temperature. He was in bed and in terrible pain in his hip. He had thrown up a few times. This completely floored him for the rest of the day and the vomiting continued all day and into the night. The temperature and the shakes abated over the next couple of days, but the following morning he had blood in his urine.
Since then he has slowly been building back up to normal but still doesn't feel he has the strength or energy to join his friends on their Wednesday afternoon bike rides (usually 30-40 km), and has not gone on a long planned trip with them (60-70 km per day). Believe me, he would go if he could.
He has seen urologists and other specialists, had blood and urine checked several times and a CT scan. They can't put their finger on anything. Several things have been eliminated and the scan didn't show up any tumours or anything.
Is there any connection between the various symptoms - hip pain, vomiting, blood in urine, spasms, temperature? They all seem to be quite separate things. And until they can find the cause, we live in fear that it could happen again unannounced.
