Hello people,
I'll apologise for the spelling mistakes or bluntness now as I haven't slept and don't have the energy to go bavk and correct them!
I haven't been on here for a few weeks, not been in a good place but received a diagnosis of GERD via SBFT a few weeks ago. My consultant seems sure that this loose stomach valve I have (as my symptoms go the heartburn/acid really wasn't high up on my list) can be causing the severe pain, swollen belly, blood in stool, diarrhoea etc etc. I was sceptical but obviously am running with the treatment as it's still something that needs to be rectified!
There hasn't been any improvement in my symptoms, I still have daily achy, sometimes sharp stabby like pain, still have diarrhoea with occasional bouts of v painful constipation (5 months now), still have more pain after eating, ans still can go from feeling bloated to feeling hungry and back again in a matter of minutes.
To top this off I spent last night on the sofa in the fetal position and haven't been able to sleep as a result of the pain, I feel like I've regressed rather than the outcome I should be getting. I've booked a doctor's appointment for four tjis afternoon and am now finding thst I'm praying for some answers again.
I've just thought I don't really know what I'm expecting back from this post but it's been good just to get things off my chest again, even though this isn't even the half of it! I thought my health recovery journey was very slowly drawing to a close, and then last night occured and flipped that right back on it's a**e!
Thanks for reading through my current 'situation' and I hope that everybody is in the best place they can be right now. I still don't even know if I belong jere as I haven't been diagnosed with an IBD, but it's certainly been a help to date so thank you all.
Take care of yourselves,
Craig
