Dear sunshine1965. Thank you for writing in to find assistance for your brother. He appears he really needs to see a physician to have his medical problems diagnosed and treated appropriately. It would be remiss of me to even attempt a diagnosis. That is reserved for a physician. Have you tried your local phone book for a "Free Clinic". If you can't find one, could you call your local hospital and ask to speak to a social worker. They are good resource people to connect people to needed services. That is where I would start.
