My guess would be that you had a technician who is legally not allowed to offer any medical interpretation and thought s/he was being funny.

Don't know but when I hear lung scope I think of COPD. My dad has it and is a smoker and they do lung scopes on patients with or suspected of having it.

I should add that non-smokers can get it too from inhaling other substances as well.

i was kinda thinking copd to, but not sure. Im just at lost right now, at first they said virnal menigitsis, then it turned to pnemonia, then they decided to do an scope cause he still has an fever, now they are saying this. I just dont see how any of these things go together, Plus with stomach problems 2 months ago. I know penomia and lungs looking like hamburger might go together, but not all 3. And he hasnt coughed during any of this. so that confuses me.

They do scopes on anyone that they need more info on. If nothing specific shows up on xrays, cat scan, mri etc, they'll do a scope so they can look at the tissue and see if anything looks abnormal.

In addition to what Jestgar said, If it is something like COPD, they MAY be screening earlier than they used to, which is a very good thing(I don't know). I do know that there are alot more and more effective medications available than there were when my father started treatment for this years ago. But don't let that comment worry you. Wait until you have accurate info and then go from there.

finally got some answers, they did an biopsy for tb. he is very ill again and they are not sure what is all going on and dotn want to say til biopsy comes back. But at least tb does make sense to what is going on with him. So he is back in isolation.

thanks for all your replies and everyone keep praying for him

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
