Hi everyone
I am a 24 year old female and have been suffering since around christmas keeping solid food down, am sick everyday, extreme pain especially after eating and diarrheah up to 10x daily.
I have had IBS since 18 and had what I thought was gastroenteritis last sep when I had severe D&V. Have been to A&E now twice with the pain but always given cyclizine and pain relief and sent home. I have also lost a stone in weight since christmas! And am 8st 13 now and 5ft 7
My gP has been v dismissive and just puts it down to IBs. They said no way it can be Crohn's because my bloods are normal, however i finally saw gastroenterologist last week who said it definately COULD be Crohn's and she knows lots of Crohn's patients who have had normal bloods.
Have been put down for urgent gastroscopy and colonoscopy but no set date yet
I am a student nurse and about to start placement with 12 hour shifts, I dont want any sick days anns just wondered any tips on beating fatigue during these shifts?
Thanks so much
Hannah
