Feel sick.. Thoughts?

[ZombieAngel]

So the last few months I've been having about 8 BM a day. I know that's not much in comparison to some. Each one is very painful in my abdomen and most of them have blood either in the stool or following the stool. I previously was anemic before I was diagnosed from this constant blood loss. Just within the last week I've begun to feel really weak and sore as though I had gone to the gym and did a full body work out (but I haven't).. I've also been very cold lately. My skin doesn't seem much pallor but I am also just an extremely pale person. My symptoms are similar to when you have a fever but I am pretty sure I don't (I can usually tell when I have a fever, even if it's only a few degrees).

What are your guys thoughts? Do you think that this could be from the constant blood loss? Do you think my anemia is coming back? Or is my body just worn out from my immune system?

I've scheduled an appointment with my doctor but the soonest appointment date isn't until June. Do you guys have any tips for helping me get through this?

Thank you,
Z

Hi. I , myself, would call my doctor's office and tell them all your symptoms and see if you couldn't get in sooner or get a second opinion. I think you could be having a flare. You mentioned being cold. Do you have problems with your thyroid? I sometimes have issues with getting cold easily and it is because my thyroid is messed up. I don't know if that is the same in your case. Would like to be updated when you get the chance. Best to you.

I'm actually currently in the process of switching doctors because my last one wasn't very good. I've yet to actually meet my new doctor at all. I can see if they will possibly let me in but given that I'm a new patient and their schedule is full I don't feel like that's very possible. I'll keep you updated.

Thank you

probably a bit of both - sounds hellish
