Hamumlo Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT PC wouldn't be the first thing to come to my mind.  Probably just the flu which can easily last a week or 10 days with nagging cough going a lot longer.  If he were losing weight, jaundiced, or had a strange unexplained back or abdominal pain, loss of energy, etc, then I'd be concerned.  Not saying blow it off just that it sounds no more like pc than any other disease. AnniePG Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT Thanks for the info ... he is really tired and probably wouldn't tell me if had abdominal pain etc... he does constantaly take anti acid tablets -- as if they were candy.  And he finally told me this morning that he's going to go to the doctor ... thank god.  Hamumlo Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT That is always the best course.  Please make sure he tells the doc his history and push for some testing.  AnniePG Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT
