Hi,

My 13 year old son has been going through various symptoms and weekly flare ups for the past 6 years - non blanching rashes mainly on hos arms, fevers, joint and limb pains, tiredness, lack of energy stomach aches, bouts of diarrhoea, vomiting, headaches, low neutrophils causing infections, moth ulcers, soar throats, on and off anemia, vitamin D deficiency, folate deficiency, he has has a lot of tests but has never been diagnosed with anything, we have just been told it might be an autoimmune disease but they can not do anything!

After seeing a mew GP he done some tests as he said it could be crohns disease, his stool tests have come back "borderline" high calprotectin level over 120, he has to do the test again next week.

any information/personal experiences would be appreciated,

Thank you 😃
