    Getting Married Tomorrow! Wish Us Luck! :D

    Awww, heck, that's nothing. Billy-no-socks and I are planning to get married in the North East (currently under 4ft of water). At least it wasn't raining, and you got to cut/eat the cake early ;). Jen

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Yes, my illness appeared out of a clear blue sky. First thing I said that morning was "I feel sick". I threw up so much my legs were shaking. Then I mixed it up with some diarrhoea, and that is how it is now. My fiance's aunt has Crohn's, and his family seemed clear that it 'sounds like...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello everyone, thanks for all your messages!. Thermo, thanks a lot for your great advice about keeping the endoscopy appointment. I've spoken to the GP today, and he assures me that the surgery will not be performed by the GI, so I think I should be alright with that. I had a long...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello Cat-a-tonic. Thanks for asking about me. I've started eating vegetables again, and I've also started vomiting again, with blood, so I'm not feeling great :(, in fact I'm sitting up at 2am, thinking "This seems very familiar". The other half has banned mushrooms completely from my diet, I...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello again Nigel, No, sadly not joking. I think he had already decided on his diagnosis before he spoke to me, and nothing I said was going to change his mind. Good job I am bleeding occasionally, otherwise I would have got nowt. I wish I could get a mushroom to hang about. Unfortunately it...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello all, Thank you for your kind replies. Nigel: Gooooooold! Can't blame you for not wanting to compete, I wish I could drop out of the event myself. Starr and C-A-T: My other half said a similar thing when he got home, but we are going to wait for the endoscopy first. It was the GI, you...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello Nigel, Thanks for the advice, I did mention the blood to the doc, and he is going to do an endoscopy. However, he did say that people my age don't get serious problems with their digestive system, so he thinks it is IBS. Boooooo. I'm planning an all-mushroom diet from now until the...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello PattyLynn and Michael :). My pain has mainly been in the stomach area, although I'm having lots of lovely cramps in the lower portion today. They kept testing me for appendicitis in the ER, and that was very uncomfortable the day after - a bit like I had a snooker ball just under the...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hi Again, Well, here I am at 2 in the morning again, unable to go to sleep due to stomach pain. Plus I am passing so much gas I am about to be twinned with Chicago :(. I was feeling slightly more like myself this afternoon, and foolishly allowed my other half to cook me a gluten-free...

    Gynaecological problems and an Op: TMI

    Hello, Yes, everything was biopsied, including some polyps. But she found no cysts or ovary problems, so that potential cause is now out the window. I'm still hoping the whole thing could be something minor, but it might also be another little sign that there is something else going on across...

    Gynaecological problems and an Op: TMI

    Hello, I'm currently squatting in the Undiagnosed Club, but I've come over here to talk about a few gynaecological difficulties. In essence, I've been in a great deal of pain around the entrance to the vagina, so that sex has been impossible, along with anything else. I ended up having an...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Wow, there's a lot of replies to answer! I do have B12 deficiency, however it is associated with Hypothyroidism. HypoT can suppress the digestion, so although I have not had the other symptoms connected to this, that is the diagnosed cause. I saw a bad GP at first now renamed "Dr Wait", who...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello, I've never had much luck with A&E departments. I only went this time because I was just at the end of my tether, ordinarily I would rather avoid them. I think at this point I am just too fatigued to go another round with them - debating the theory and practice of emergency medicine is...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello Crabby, and thank you for the welcome I have already graced the A&E department near my home - it was an absolute disaster. I had had diarrhoea for about 14 hours, nearly non-stop, then started vomiting. I went to the emergency department and told them that I couldn't hold anything down...

    Could I Hang with the Undiagnosed Club?

    Hello, I've been thinking about joining the Club for a few days, and as I was sitting here at 2am, with stomach pain, I thought I would join now, and get some advice about my problems. About 10 weeks ago I started having stomach trouble beginning with vomiting and pain, followed by a large...
