Hello everyone.
My symptoms are chronic diarrhea (between 4 and 20 times a day), mucous, right lower quadrant pain and nausea, occasionally passing blood, for 2 years.
Also have eye pain and joint pain (in non weight bearing joints).
I'm obese and though I've lost 30 kg this year (due to not wanting to eat - eating = pain and diarrhea), my doc insists my CRP of 23 is to be expected as I'm obese and my ESR is only 13 - as such he doesn't think a colonscopy is warranted.
Any advice on this and on how to respond to him would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Lee
