Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and I wanted to share my story. I was wondering if you could help me!?
I'm a 15 year old girl. I've been having symtoms since October 2011 and I still have no diagnosis. My first 'episode' in October 11 I was admitted to hospital with severe stomach pains, I was discharged 2 days later with 'constipation' (I had diarrheah?) and they gave me some fibergel. This increased the severity of my symtoms and I was now having diarrheah 2-3 times a day sometimes containing blood and mucus. I then had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which revealed a small patch of inflammation in the large bowel, some in the stomach and some inflammation from the biopsys they took. I was then given pentasa and omaprezole (sp?). I didn't think pentasa or omaprezole was working so the GI took me off them , my symtoms then got a lot worse. I was going to the toilet 6+ times per day with blood. This brings me up to recent, my GI now says there is a fine line I determining what is a 'normal' amount of inflammation. I am currently on nothing as he suggests its ibs. I'm currently quite unwell, I'm missing school and it difficult to get out of bed I'm that tired. I have 10+ diarrheah bowel movements per day and sometime all that comes out is bloody mucus (sorry!). I also have quite a few mouth ulcers that never go away and I feel so weak all the time and I don't want to eat anymore because it just causes me so much unbearable pain , to the point where I just lay curled up in a ball crying. I'm have started suffering with haemmorhoids and all my GI says is its IBS, there is nothing we can do.
What do you think this is? Any suggestions to help me!:sign0085:
I'm seeing the GI at the end of next month, I'm starting to feel really depressed about this now because sometimes I can't even make it to the toilet.:frown:
Thanks for reading my very long story !
