I just read someones post after typing in Crohns and breathing issues. So I was diagnosed not too long ago after I was sent home twice when I mentioned I was bleeding heavily. On the 5th occassion of seeing what I saw as abnormal I screamed the docotrs surgery down till I was sent to see a specialist.

I started shitting myself - bleeding got worse and then I was put out of my worried state by not being diagnosed with rectal cancer.


Anyhow before this - spent nearly every week in the doctors surgery begging to be checked out. I was told everything from being insane to being dillusional - then treated like a mere animal by a racist Asian docotr - told me to get out of his surgery after I broke down in tears after he made it clear he didn't want to talk to a young woman about rectal bleeding (this was when Ithought I had cancer) let alone a young black one!!!!

I was told I was mad crazy insane by every docotr and there were no spaceshios to diagnose my symptom of crazy crimpling bone pain.

Now I've been diagnosed I was told it was nothing to worry about - so I thought it was all ok. NO, no this is not the case - I did a bit of research and realised the bone pain, the BREATHING issues - I can't f***king breath on the odd occassion, the crazy sweats, burning tongue pain and the conssssstant tiredness and lethargy all relate to this frigging illness. I'm starting to cramp up as though I can't walk and oh my lord the breathing and headaches. I cough every second - a nasty rasping cough with water or fluid on my lung - a constant cold feeling. If ever another doctor tells me I'm insane I will sue them over the mere mention of it. I went back and forth like a lunatic for over 6years back and forth - back and forth till the bleeding started and shitting myself. Now I get a burning tongue so strong - I cant taste anything and the cant breath. My bones kill me. There are symptoms that don't add up but they are all related and the person who said breathing issues YOU ARE NOT JUST anxious I can;t the same ****! Heart palpitations like your having a mini heart attack - yeah I know the feeling!
 
Chaz0,

I'm sorry for what you are going through. It's not uncommon for people to have bad experiences with doctors, sadly in your case, it's about as bad as it can get. The best advice I can give you is to read things in this forum, go to the CCFA website and do research there as well. If you can arm yourself with enough information you can become an effective self advocate, which is exactly what we all need to be, sorry to say! It sounds like you have begun already.

There are some great people on here and maybe some from your own hometown who can help you out with your particular health care system.


Hang in there and use the search feature of the forum to research your symptoms also.
