After another wasted day of 4 hours in the hospital to find out I've had no further results, no tests they wanted to do and no information whatsoever, the general DR of the medical assessment team is trying to fob me off with possible IBS.
I've had horrific pain in waves, constant dihoreha, blood and mucus in my stools, terrible fatigue, a colonoscopy that showed ulcers on my ileum, a history of Crohn's and ulcerative colitis in my family. And this pleb with no info of my medical history (as the computers were down) comes out with IBS.
His questions were, do I eat enough fibre, do I know what fibre is, and I should drink more water.
Now my vent is over, I wonder if someone could help me. I've seen someone write on here that IBS isn't a diagnosis. I'd like to know why they think that. Just so I have some fighting talk for the next time I'm faced with this and being fobbed off again.
Thanks in advance!
