Rapid Loss Of Weight, All Over Body Rash, And A General Tiredness In A 74 Year Old Man
6 Answers
Hi, My dad who is 74 and was relatively fit and active for his age came down with something in June last year. He developed a rash all over his body, lost nearly half his body weight, and is so tired he pretty much spends all his time in bed, getting up for 30 minutes every 4 hours or so. Docotrs and hospital have done countless tests for all sorts of things but have found nothing. He's now been discharged as he has put some weight back on but he still has a rash all over and is constantly tired. He's also never been given an explanation as to what he might have had or what happened. I realise that this is a shot in the dark but does anyone on here have an idea what it might be or what he should do? Many thanks.

Glad he's put weight back on, suggests to me he may be turning this around gradually. Could be the different symptoms are from different causes ?
