Asked by peggysuehicks (Female; 31; none - never really get sick untill unexplained pain in upper stomach, chest area in june, the unexplained severe pain in lower stomach in mif july then strep in august... ) on Thu 08, Oct 2009 08:20am

Ok, I never get sick - except for allergies Ive had maybe 3 colds and 1 flu in 31 years, untill recently... In the beginiing of June, I was put on erthrmician 1500mg daily for a pulled tooth that was abscessed. I stayed on that for 3 weeks... Middle of june I got pains in my stomach area / heart area that lasted 2 days.. went to the hospital, they gave me something for heartburn that didnt help. I stopped taking the antibiotic and it seemed to clear up. Middle of july I got the worst stomach pains I have ever had. Not like cramps, but like i was litterly sitting on my uterus. Had strong urges to go have a BM, but it hurt when I relaxed enough to try to go. Pain was unberriable lasted for 2 days started in middle of stomach low then moved to right side low... then migrated to back was gone in 4 days, didnt go to the DR (cause i dont have insurance) But I thought i was going to die it hurt so bad. 3rd week in august 2 people in my house got strep.. I started running a fever of 103.5 for 12 hours throat hurt whet to hospital for antibiotics.. didnt do a strep test because someone else was already positive - got zpac for 5 days... took 5 days for throat to stop hurting. Also they gave me a steroid shot their... The day after I stopped the zpac, i started breakingout in a rash, chest, face neck arms, armpits, legs back groin palms of hands and scalp... its a red slightly itchey rash that sometimes is blister and then peels. Hands are peeling... went to hospital after 2 weeks of the rash - they said they didnt know and though I had syphilis (which is obserd because ive been married for 10 years) they tested anyway. they gave me pretizone and some type of bynedryll.. 2 days later they called said i had a weak reaction to the syphilis test, to go to the health dept. Did, test was negative. Hospital reran theirs and it was negative this time. The kicker is that my stomach is huge... i am bigger but normaly have a flat stomach. Now it looks like i have a melon in my stomach... this started 3 weeks ago an its just getting bigger. pretty hard to the touch and the rash is getting worse. I keep heartburn and nausea ALL the time, horrible leg cramps at night, anxiety.. and this scaley peeling blistery rash that covers almost my entire body itches, burns and is incredibly dry. I am at my whits end, open to any suggestions on what might be going on

Hi! There are two possibilities—one is that you have H pylori infection and the other is Crohn’s disease. Both cause gas, stomach upset, bloated tummy and rash. H pylori is treated with proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics, Crohn’s will need more detailed treatment. Please consult a gastroenterologist.Take care!
