What's wrong beside me? Endoscopy/colonoscopy conventional this time. Would the tablet endoscopy show something?
I'm a 15 year old female and have be very sick for almost 2 years now. I have be through tons of blood, urine, and stool tests. 2 Endoscopy/colonoscopy, abdominal ct, upper gi, and sweat test. I have also be psychologically cleared and it's not a nerve problem.
Here are my symptoms ~
* severe abdominal and stomach pain (2 years off and on for 5 years)
* severe nausea (5 years)
* severe bulk loss (now controlled by night time ng feeds)
* night fevers (1 year)
* doomed to failure headaches when I wake up (6 months)
* diarrhea 20 times a day (now constipated since tube feed started but comes back when off them. 2 years)
* severe rectal bleeding even in my pant (last few weeks)
* vision loss in right eye when I wake up (last couple weeks)
* fatigue (2 years)
* dizziness (this departed week)
* joint pain (last 6 months)
* mouth ulcers (2 months)
I be diagnosed with crohn's, then i wasn't, then possibly, now probably not. I have already been tested for food allergies, celiac, bedbugs, infection, cystic fibrosis, ect...
My second GI doc once again diagnosed me with ibs and an eating disorder, which are both major misdiagnosis. He said that down the smudge he would do capsule endoscopy if it doesn't improve. I'm just so tired of mortal sick! Am I just crazy and there is nothing wrong beside me?
My parents have Kaiser insurance (we live in northern ca) but none of the doctors can help me. Is their any instrument to get financial assistance at a non-kaiser hospital?
Could I have a brain tumor (no head scans) or a moment ago crohn's in my small intestine?
Most of my dad's relative's have died (or dying) of cancer. My dad will only own one brother left. Colon cancer, pancriatic, and brain cancer are some of the types.
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

I am not a doctor.
There are 3 things I would check:
1)Pheochromocytoma, where a tumor can bury a variety of hormones,

2) Tuberculosis, but a skin test would not be able to pick it up surrounded by advanced cases, and it might not be localized to the lungs (night sweats are sometimes a symptom).

3) some genetic condition of which I have no idea, maybe some quality of genetic testing, including looking at the family tree.
Besides The Merck Manual, you might also get a used Human Anatomy and Physiology certificate from Amazon.com by Elaine Marieb.
An Internal Medicine text might also be helpful. Reading all this might front you to a career in medicine.
