Hello, I do not know exactly how long I have been with this issue. I am guessing It began sometime in 2006. In 2009 after 24 hours of no sleep or little because of discomfort and the increase of pain, I took myself to Urgent Care. I was taken in and was given several medical tests, including blood work and CAT Scan and X Ray.
After several hours of tests and laying in my medical bed an older medical professional came and said his diagnosis was Ulcerative Coilitis. It was based upon the fact my Blood work had Higher levels of blood white cells, to which he concluded was due to the inflamation in my Digestive track.
I was glad and sad. For about 2-3 years before this incident I was awaken almost every morning, by the need to deficate or pain in the stomach. I would wake up around the same time each morning, around 9:30 -10am. I would spend about 20 minutes on the toilet, sometimes releasing bowels and sometimes not. This would be my throne for the morning, as I would see the bathroom for the next 3 hours on and off. By Noon usually my stomach had calmed down, and I could return to a 'normal day' mostly without problems.
The pain is normally partial to one place in my body, lower left abdomen right where my Ribcag ends and internal organs are tucked in under them. I have found some strange comfort relief in extending my stomach muscles, I can feel and hear a disctint movement when I do this. I dont know what is occuring inside me, but I feel when I do this, I am assisting in moving trapped feces further down the intestine.
I find myself VERY tired after any meal, sometimes I take a 2 hour nap if Im not at work or if my boss lets me. Its almost like I am drained after eating sometimes, if not almost all the times.
If anyone has any ideas what this sounds like, please include your feed back and or questions. I have alot more to say about my Symptoms, Im just overwhelmed by what to type after years and years of symptoms and no sign of a cure. :yfrown:
