Summary
Alder 20989, a 17-year-old due to start college, became ill in September with extreme fatigue, chills and a sore throat. Five months later he had developed vomiting, heartburn, headache and a complete lack of appetite, and felt hopeless and depressed; all tests came back negative and his doctor could not identify a cause. Omeprazole somewhat alleviated his symptoms but brought side effects.
