Please help: 15 year old sick and tired for 15 months
Please help?My son is just turning 15 this month. Since early last summer he has been having constant headaches in his temples and extreme weakness. He also has stomach aches sometimes but no vomiting, constipation or diarrhea. He has trouble sleeping at night, worries about everything, and apologizes all the time for being sick and too tired to help out. But I'm just worried that he's too sick to enjoy former activities. The slightest bit of mental strain or emotional stress makes his symptoms more acute. Can someone please advise?

Before he became sick did he have any recent vaccines or illnesses? Has he ever been tested for mononucleous? or Lyme Disease? Sherry

Sherry, yes. He had mono and hasn't really gotten well since. He might have had it as long ago as June 07, cause that's when symptoms began, but was only tested positive in Nov 07.

This might also be significant: he gets frequent nose bleeds, and the skin of his feet is always red. No rash or flaking or cracking, just red on the soles and tops of his feet and toes, with occasional slight itchiness.
Creekie last decade
during the next episode of nose bleed or headache,
please give him PHOSPHORUS 200C three doses on a single day at four to six hours gap.
no remedy for the next one month.
please report after a month on the overall changes.
