Suggest Treatment For Itchiness On The Skin , Joint Pain And Eye Pain

My dad, who is in his mid 60, is getting progressively sicker, for 4 months. All his tests, cat scan and ultra sound have turned up nothing. He is experiencing joint pain that moves around his body, pain behind his eyes, and itchy skin. Symptoms worsen after eating. He is losing weight as he cannot eat. No one has been able to diagnose or treat his symptoms. Please help!
