Hello,
My name is Ezequiel, I am 30 years old.
Married with two children.
I have been told by my GI that I need to face the news that I might have Chrones Disease, but I am also scheduled for a colonoscopy and gastroscopy to rule out any cancers.
I will go through a quick history of my issues and hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction.
2002 Early - I was diagnosed with glandular fever.
2002 Early - Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, which actually slowly subsided after 18 months. Was caused (what doctor believes) by the glandular fever.
2003 - Late 2003, I developed a pain where my appendix is. It was always a low grade, dabbing pain that came and went but was always present every day. I also started to get very gassy and started to suffer from sudden diahorrea. I would suddenly have to go to the toilet and well, it would be explosive. This pain lasted for SIX MONTHS! Sadly I just carried on normal life and things would get worse after eating spicy foods. (which I loved so much)
2004 - Early- Had a colonoscopy done to see what the pain was. Doctor said I was all clear, no cancer, no diseases. Amazingly 2 or 3 weeks after Colonoscopy I felt fine.
2004 - Fainted at work. I was at the computer, suddenly the world spun and I sudfferred my first ever syncope. I woke up about 15-20 seconds later, laid back in my chair. When I came to, I had to desperately go to the bathroom. I JUST managed to get to the bathroom and my bowels emptied like an apocalyptic event. I was on the toilet for over 1 hour, and the bowel movements were absolutely huge and contained a lot of feces. :eek2:
2005 - Went to Europe (I am from Australia) on a holiday for 3 months. Started to suffer from strange "swaying" or "lightheadedness" which usually subsided when I had a bowell movement. Lasted about 6-8 weeks, then went away.
2005 - occasional explosive diahorrea, or strange feelings in my stomach but nothing major.
2006 - started to see a funny "vibration" in my eyes, similar to a pulsating flame. Visible when I look up to a bright light. I went to optomotrist, said my eyes were fine. Vision also was occasionally blurry.
2006-2008 - did have next to zero problems. I did start to develop some weakness and some joint pains.
2008 - Started to get strange chest "thumps". Only usually occurred after a meal or followed by a burp, felt like a heart attack. Cardiologist said I had a rapid heart beat, but nothing major.
2009 - Early - Started to get pains in my side again, exactly the same as the ones a few years earlier. Only problem is they only happen when i am RESTING and subside when I walk around, have a bowel movement or pass gas.
2009 - Daily vomiting of LOTS AND LOTS of bile... followed this pain.
2009 - Started to feel light headed again.
2009 - Starting to pass A LOT of blood when going to the bathroom. I would literally soak the toilet paper of blood and my stools would be covered in clotty substance, similar to a nose bleed.
2009 - Started to get CONSTANT conjunctivitus. Absolutely annoying. Eye always dries out, I get small blisters on my eye lid that I need to pop with a woolen bud or they impair my vision.
2009 - I also seem to get giant "pimples" on my back or sides. They are absolotely huge. I also tend to get strange sores. Only ever get 1 or 2 at a time at most.
2009 - was admitted to hospital with possible abdominal anurysm. It ended up being a false alarm, but doctor gave me an injection of Somac. After 5-6 hours in hospital I felt better.
2009 - Sleeping is now terrible due to palpitation feelings, and pressure in my stomach.
2009 - Getting occasional right back pain, usually in the rib.
2009 - Saw another GI, who advised to get a colonoscopy and told me I could have Chrones Disease.
I am also a big man (horizontally). I used to weigh 154 kilos 2 months ago. I am now down to 139 kilos.
This is all my history.
What do you guys think this is?
Chrones? Cancer? Heart problem?
Are these typical history of chrones disease?
I still have no idea why im so tired, and always in pain. I am afraid to go to the loo as its a painful affair, and once a week I pass a lot of blood.
Major Concerns :
Bleeding
Pain near my right side/appendix
Extreeme swaying/light headed feeling.

sorry to hear you're suffering right now. it's good that they're scheduling the right tests for you though - just hang on in there, treat yourself gently, and maybe alter your diet to lower residue than you've been having recently.
