Hi everyone! I am new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone else has been diagnosed with two types of colitis? I have been sick for 2 1/2 years with intestinal issues, pain in joints extreme tiredness, dry eyes, unusual bruising, cognitive issues, neck and back pain. After many, many tests the different specialists I saw each came up with different diagnoses. The only one each agreed on were Hashimotos and dry eyes. In Dec 2015, I ended up in the hospital after 3 1/2 weeks of diarrhea, vomiting, blood in the stools,and extreme tiredness. I have lost 39 lbs in less than a year. After 4 days in the hospital and a cat scan and a endoscope and colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with crohns disease and was started on prednisone. When the biopsies came back, my reg doctor told me it was ulcerative colitis and referred me to a GI doctor for treatment. I saw the GI doctor and she explained UC and put me on pentasa. I was starting to feel better with less diarrhea. The day after I took the last prednisone pill, I broke out in a rash. I contacted my ppc and the GI doctors but they were both gone on vacation. A different GI doctor (who was on call) called me and said he did not agree with the UC diagnosis and wanted me to come in ASAP for another colonnoscopy and to stop all medications. I did have another colonoscopy. After those biopsy results came back, he told me that I had ischemic colitis while I was in the hospital and now I have lymphocytic colitis. He said it is rare but it happens He also said i didn't need medications. Since I stopped taking the prednisone and pentasa, the diarrhehear has come back and all the symptoms are slowly returning. I am so confused! How can two pathologists come up with two different diagnoses? Help! I just want to feel better. Has this happened to anyone else? Thank you for listening. Big hugs to all of you!
