Hello is it all in my mind

[Lesleytlc]

Hello my name is Lesley I'm 41 years old and I'm waiting to go for the camera up the bum. How did you get diagnosed. Since I was 15 I've had back pain, joint pain, abdominal pain. I've had years of being fobbed off by Docters. At the age of 31 I had 2 parts of my bowel removed as it perforated into my body, I was very ill. Then a few years later got an infection from my coil and lost my tubes. In that op they discovered my bowel had sticky stuff stuck to my organs. Last year I was rushed in with a bowel infection. I have a fatty liver, I'm exhausted, I'm in pain. I have been poorly all Xmas and I'm now hopefully getting noticed by the NHS in the UK. I feel like I'm letting everyone down as me and my partner run a business and Im just to poorly to work today. I feel like no one believes how poorly I feel. No one wants to listen, I'm just suppose to keep plodding on when I'm in so much pain xx

You came to a good support system here. Do you have Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis? Welcome.

 

[Lesleytlc]

I think I have Crohn's, both Docters who done my operations have came to the result of Crohn's. I was told to not take ibuprofen. My last hospital trip they said they would send me for camera. That was a year ago so I've been back and forth all year with problems. They said I was lost in the system so are sending me soon

I wish you the best. Yes, I was told anything but Tylenol for pain will cause me to bleed.

Hi and welcome.

Sorry you're feeling so poorly.
A colonoscopy with biopsies is the gold standard for diagnosis.
I hope you get some answers quickly.
Sending you my support.
