Feeling sorry for myself

[kirstyn]

I'm definitely feeling sorry for myself recently and not sure whether to laugh or cry on many occasions. I've now become so sick that sometimes I can't move my wrists or feet because of joint pain and the bathroom is becoming my home My bloods and stool samples came back clear so now I'm wondering if their diagnosis of IBS was correct The sad thing is that it's affecting my life now. I might have to take time out of university and I'm not able to work at the moment either. Just needed a wee rant Hopefully I'm not the only one feeling like this.

I'm so sorry that you feel so awful. Have you been to a rheumatologist over your joint pain? If they find a culprit it may be one more key to better understanding what is going on and whether it's IBS as part of another condition like fibromyalgia or if you may be undetected for IBD.

no i haven't actually, that might be a good idea! I'm going for a colonoscopy soon and I'm really nervous because I haven't been for one before :/ but im hoping it can find out whats causing all my symptoms thank you!

No need to worry, colonoscopy is very safe and can tell a lot. I hope they figure it out keep us posted.
