Hi all,
I have had chronic diarrhea for years and complained to the doctors and they would always blow me off as JUST having IBS. The part that really p***es me off is that I started gaining weight when the diarrhea started (I felt like I was starving all the time) and over the years have gained about 150lbs. So of course I get the "It shouldn't be crohn's because people that have it are really skinny" logic. I am so tired all time..I normally sleep 12 hours at night AND have to nap in the afternoon! I have headaches, pain on my lower left abdomen, nausea, cramps, and diarrhea that comes and goes. I live on yogurt and fruit and am still fat! I finally got a doctor to schedule me at a specialist for a colonocopy and am hoping for some sort of diagnosis. I am SO miserable and depressed and to top it off, my period starts this week which always makes things worse.........sick of being sick!!!!!:confused2:
