Scared for my son. Please help w/comments *Update 4/16*

[Medusa]

As I mentioned earlier, my son's girlfriend is a nurse and she has spoken to another nurse who served in Iraq and this nurse said that she saw this type of illness there frequently and that it was temporary. My son's girlfriend also spoke to 4 doctors, all of whom said that they're surprised that the ER dr. gave the diagnosis of myositis so quickly. So now my son is really angry because he feels like the doctors don't know what they're doing. I'm trying to get him to understand that his symptoms could be a host of things but that isn't helping his state of mind any. He's on his way to the walk-in clinic now and they told him to prepare for a long day, possibly he'll get an MRI and maybe an EMG. I guess I'll know more later but it probably won't be until tonight. So I wait. This is agonizing.
