My DS (15) has had a tough year when it comes to health. He had a full medical check up in January and nothing was found. The only comment from the doctor was that he is too skinny (1,79 m and 55 kg).
He lost 3 kg in the past month and didn't dare to tell us. He said he has no appetite, and goes to the toilet 3-4 times a day (more loose stools he says). He's happy in school, gets good grades, has good friends, nothing seems to be missing but he is constantly complaining about his health and every day there is a problem. Today, he got a mosquito bite. He is allergic and his arm is quite swollen. He got the proper medication for allergy but still, he is terrified. Two days ago it was a headache, he said it was a weird headache and that he was very worried. Every day he comes from school saying he is exhausted (his blood tests results were excellent so he is physically healthy). Sometimes he sends me a text when I'm at work to tell me he has belly cramps and he is alone at home and what to do. To summarize, I feel helpless. He got medical attention, he got a full check up, nothing was found. We saw the eye doctor and got a very expensive and thorough check up to make sure his headaches weren't caused by poor sight. His health seems to be the best!
On the other hand, he can't gain weight no matter how much he eats. When he finally gains a few kilos, he suddenly feels sick for 2 or 3 days and loses them. I'm slowly going crazy as there is no explanation for any of this. My husband tells me he is just anxious but I am very worried. A boy his age shouldn't have so many health issues of unknown origin, it seems it is more mental than physical and I wonder, what triggered all this if he has no major problems in life?
Any advice?
