For the last ten years I've had serious IBS-D. Many times I have been house bound for weeks or months at a time. For the last 4 months I've had horrible new symptoms and no full diagnosis.
But the great thing was that I was on tylenol-3 and all my IBS symptoms disappeared... until last week. Now I am being woken up in the middle of the night with pain. Every two or three days I have diarrhea after I am woken up. Pass out from the pain type of diarrhea. Cold sweats and nausea type of diarrhea that takes forever to pass.
I have had a endoscopy recently and I am seeing my gi doc next week for the results. From my gp's report she told me the following (I will get the report after I see the gi doc)
My original symptoms that prompted the endoscopy and the lovely tylenol -3's.
I was concerned about pancreatic cancer and there is a cyst on my pancreas. But the doctors cannot say that I have it. So they're looking for other diagnosis. I was wondering if any of this sounds familiar. Right now I just want to know what's going on.
Thanks for listening,
Connie
