Hi everyone
I am a 44 year old welsh male
Well heres my shortened story...for 6 or seven years i have been suffering from symptoms that include,dihorea,severe pain(not always together)jelly like slime in stool(past 6 months blood and slime),bloating,nausea occasinal rash,joint pain (also sometimes feel like am going to faint like a sugar crash and have to eat and sit down) and fatigue like god knows what.when i am having a bad time usualy it makes me want to pee a very lot too.
I have seen the same gp for 6 years and was told ibs,ibs,ibs gave me the odd blood test, over the years my symptoms have worsened my social life and work have been a total test.Last year i had enough and thought right gp your going to have to take me seriously because everyone i talked to and everywhere i looked my pains and symptoms just seemed like i must be the worse case of ibs in history.Over the years tried all the ibs treatments and exclusion diets)
.I told the gp help me or i will do something really stupid(i had no intention just hoped it would work) Well he listened and said i hadnt told him how bad it was ect ect (i had told him so many times) anyway a several month wait for a consultants appointment was what he offered.I then asked how long private and two weeks was the answer(i opted for private just for the consultation)
anyway to shorten the story colonoscopy,and edoscopy down throat ,bloods and nothing found.Specialist diagnosis ibs he also mentioned that 5% of cases of crohns dont show up on bloods or get diagnosed by colonoscopy.
I am with a new doctors because i have moved and am getting a lot more help,as i have been bleeding regular i will be going for another colonoscopy just to check out anything scary i supose.
I know it sounds really daft but i obviously dont wanna be ill but at least if they find what it is i can try and fight it.
After reading through the forums both symptoms,diagnosis and peoples stories i feel sure that i am in the right place and that eventualy i will get somwhere with whatever it is i have. (i recently actualy met someone who had similair experience with symptoms and tests and was diagnosed when they actualy did colonoscopy number 4 during a flare up)
Anyway any advice or comments welcome
