Hi all, I posted on one of the other pages and had not seen the Undiagnosed Club so thought I would say hello in here cause I am in limbo at the moment.
My story is I had a mild on/off stomach ache but nothing that troubled me. Then I had a bowel movement where i saw some blood but thought it was a pile but went to doctors regarding something else and thought oh well I will just mention the blood and the on and off stomach ache. Next thing i know I have blood tests showing inflammation and anemia and I am being sent to the hospital!!
Anyway waiting for my appointment I kept getting Diarrhoea not much just twice first thing on a morning so I mentioned this at the hospital. Got checked out (finger up the bum!!) and told oh looks like a pile and diverticulitis but will send you for flexible sigmondosopy, had this (not a great experience for me, pain and nearly fainted) found lots of lovely ulcers and mucous and the doc said oh looks like crohns and think you will need steroids took biopsies and more bloods and stool sample then sent me out the door!!
Now I am sat waiting for my follow up appointment for results. I am scared about what biopsies and bloods will show and a nervous wreck and I am stupid because I keep going on google and scaring myself more!!
The thing that baffles me is how mild my symptoms are the mild stomach ache only happens once in a while and goes when I go to the loo or pass wind and the Diarrhoea as I said is still twice a day first thing and sometimes I don't get any at all!! The only other thing is I have lost weight but I was trying before all this so not sure what caused weight loss!!
Has anyone else had such mild symptoms but has been diagnosed? Hate being in limbo I have two weeks to wait and thinking if its anything really bad would they call me in beforehand. Got all sorts of crazy thoughts in my head.
Sorry for the ramble but nice to find somewhere with fellow undiagnosed people. Its a nightmare getting to 34 and being well all my life now this!!
