frustrated with doctor
Hi everyone,
So I had an appointment with my GI and he still thinks it's just IBS. When I was in the ER two weeks ago they prescribed me Bentyl for IBS and it did nothing. I just really don't think it's IBS. I looked at that chart that's on here that compared IBS and IBD and you don't lose your appetite or lose weight with IBS and I have lost 10 lbs so far and haven't had an appetite in weeks.
Either way, I have my colonoscopy tomorrow so I am keeping my fingers crossed it shows something as all my other tests have come back normal. And if I don't start getting better I am going to get a second opinion from another GI because I'm just really starting to get frustrated with my current one. I get the feeling he just doesn't really care or is not at all concerned about my ongoing symptoms. So, that's where I'm at right now, frustrated but hopeful for the colonoscopy tomorrow.
