Oh my gosh- your symptoms are just like mine, except I also have nausea! The past three months I've had swollen abdomen, no energy, having trouble keeping up with my daughter- just feel awful every day! Went to my Primary care doc, he did blood work, unrine, abdomnial ultrasound of all organs. The only thing they showed was one liver level that was up indicating inflammation somewhere (he didn't specify what level) and a little bit of fatty streaks on my liver. Reffered me to a GI doctor who did an endoscopy last Friday. They took some biopsies because the lining of my stomach is inflamed, but they showed no infection and no cancerous cells. So basically, still no clue why the inflammation and swelling. I'm on Prilosec for the inflammation and zofran for nausea. Go back in 4 weeks for re-evaluation and see if more tests should be done. I don't know if any of that information about what is going on with my swollen belly helps you figure anything out, but I figured I'd tell you anyway!
Your doc doesn't seem to be taking you seriously- is there another primary care place you can go? Or as Werebear said, the ER? Something is wrong and it should be taken seriously.
