should I push for testing?
Ok, I have never done this before, but I need some advice. A little bit of history-my husband(27) had very frequent lung infections as a child. His bedsheets always had a salt residue on them from his night sweats(which he still has). They had him tested for cf, but his results were borderline, & he was never retested. The summer before we got married(he was 20 years old), he ended up in the ER for diagnosed pleurisy. From that point on, he has had a chronic cough, & allergy symptoms that don't ever go away.

I was pretty healthy through my t...

A case of generalized disability and muscle weakness.
Ghofran is 42 year old female who presented with fatigue, joint pain, proximal muscle weakness and agonising whole body pain. Nothing remarkable on her examination. Upon investigation for connective tissue disease everything was normal. Her vitamin D level was severely lowered. Again her related metabolic profile was normal and no obvious cause for the vitamin D deficiency. I commenced her on high dose ergocalciferol. On follow up visit one month later a failure to increase vitamin D is noticed and the patient still suffering. I am eager to read your kind responses to this dilemma case and your suggestions about next step....
