    Help please - is it another abscess or ingrowing hair?

    :bigwave: Hi Lisa, Thanks for looking in. Panic over it was a hair follicle. I couldn't stand the pain anymore and luckily got in to see my GP this morning. She managed to lance it which relieved the pain immediately. She said it was a bit infected which is why it was so large but has given...

    Help please - is it another abscess or ingrowing hair?

    Good morning all, Just after a bit of advice please if possible as I can't get an appointment with my GP until Friday!! I have symptoms of Crohn's but as yet un-diagnosed. My colonoscopy showed as normal and I am awaiting results of biopsy. Recent blood test showed a high level of white blood...

    Afternoon all, Had a normal colonoscopy result, and they've taken random biopsies to rule out Colitis. So another wait for a chance of some sort of diagnosis :facepalm: I'm so frustrated but ever so grateful for this site, as I'm now convinced my family truly believe this is all in my head...

    Afternoon all, Received my colonoscopy appointment letter (was not expecting it that quick!!!) for 13 days time. Brizzle p.s It's weird that although I am dreading the procedure I am excited that I might finally (hopefully, fingers crossed) find out what's wrong.

    Thanks everyone for your support. When I was coming back from the hospital, I knew once I got home and could get on this forum I wouldn't feel so bad, it's just that the appointment seemed to take so long to come around, and January being a rubbish, long, stressful, cold (you know what I mean)...

    Hi Grumbletum, The diet changes have not made the slightest bit of difference apart from colour and smell, I tried cutting out dairy stuff, starchy stuff, wheat filled stuff..... no difference, ate more fruit & veg then ever before, even trying veg I've not liked the look/taste of over the...

    Not yet diagnosed, but feel isolated

    Hi everyone, Well a couple of months (nearly) since I last posted, and I'm still none the wiser on any diagnosis! I've varied my diet, cut down smoking (not a bad thing I know) and completely cut out alcohol. I've been back to my GP as the tiredness and achy feeling seem to be worse, she's...

    Feeling strange about clear colonoscopy

    Hi theseithakas. I'm so glad I found your thread because I thought I was the only one hoping to be diagnosed with a disease. It's mad isn't it, usually the last thing you want to hear from your Doctors is any sort of bad news. The symptoms and illness makes you feel bad enough but to then be...

    Hi, Thanks for the welcome, replies and tips. I haven't had anything done other than blood tests (which as I say came back normal) I've tried varying my diet, but it does not change the cow pat consistency of my movements. I don't get any abdominal pain so to speak, just a lot of gurgling and...
