I am at my wits end! I am tired of being in pain and feeling bad all the time.
My story began 3 years ago. I was diagnosed with Episcleritis about 6 months prior to my abdominal issues. My episcleritis is located in both eyes and will only go away for about a week at the most. My abdominal issues consist of pain in my lower/mid right side, alternating constipation and diarrhea, with mostly constipation, as well as nausea. I have a mouth full of canker sores pretty much all the time.
I have now seen 3 GI doctors. I have had a colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, flex sig, and a ct enterography. The first 2 doctors continued to tell me it was IBS, they would give me medication, which did not work. I decided I was done with doctors until recently when the nausea and pain just continued to get worse. I have now been to see a 3rd GI doctor. He stated since my scopes all came back clear and the other doctors said it was IBS that he would try me on IBS medicine too. He has now prescribed Linzess, which has not helped a bit, if anything has made the pain worse at times.
Any advice?
