So ive been ill for about three years and no confirmed diagnosis. Ive had three colonoscopies ,various xrays scans and two many blood tests , you know the drill. I started with a sharp pain probably every couple of day s with diahorea and then turned into full time right side pain, back pain and pencil shaped pooh, or glue ,blood ,general mess and alot of fevers. Pain is roughly between my navel,appendix and under my right rib cage.
Shortly after I eat I get ill and it continues like a vicious circle. The only thing the doctor says is that during test the right side had a lot of spasm and the left side of the lower bowel was very red. Lots of biopsies no result.
Sometimes when i eat it feels like the food aint goin down as if from the stomach down is closed ? I get sores form my ass to my mouth and when its bad my eyes are sore.
Ive been on Asacol 800mg three a day for six months. It has made a difference and stools are more solid but the pain is pretty intense at times( problably cause the stoolis more solid)
Ive increased water intake and now I am actively sorting out which food is noticably making me feel worse.
So Fizzy drinks, sweet stuff, fryed food,steak or red meat and of course spicey foods. this isnt hard to figure out ,when your raw inside.
I do feel that taking an active role in this condition is helping in that in keeps you positive and that can only be good. However I have almost lost my job over this illness and have had to stop my musical career as i cant bring a loo onto the stage can I.
Started taking wheatgrass capsuels to see if they will ease the symptoms.
Everyday I have several very bad times and the pain and discomfort are pretty unbearable. I sleep 4 hours maximum before pain wakes me up.
So where do I go from here as the future is not so inviting ,being undiagnosed means no treatment .
I think I have an Inflamatory bowel problem and that it is progressing despite the Asacol and diet changes. I remain active and try to figure it out to get through the day at work. How long this will last i dont know So thats my story
