im new and really cross
hi,
i have had bowel issues for years, i had a bad experience at the gp's when i was 12 and vowed i would never see a doctor about stomach ache again, and for 25 years i didnt, i suffered on my own, self diagnosed IBS and hoped it would go away.
I had my third child in sept 09 and since then have ahd a horrendous time, by april i had no choice but see a gp, i went to the only one i trust.
My symptoms, chronic, frequent diahorrea (sp), pain in right side, fevers, bloating, and wind.
I was sent for colonoscopy, have 3 large ulcers in terminal ilieum, was told then that it was classic crohns disease, biopsies were taken.
was then completely mis -managaed, i was told all was fine by gp receptionist and referral to gastro never came through.
So, long story sorry, went back to gp in march this year and said i was in pain, felt weal
k and needed help, she did ny bloods again, re refeered me, checked my biopsies and said it was suggestive of crohns and i had been given someone elses results originally! i was fuming.
i also saw a rheumy this week and have arthritis also, and seeing opthamolgy as my eyes are very sore.
my bloods showed pv and esr raised and a folate deficiency.
i saw gastro yesterday, and was the man who did my scope, he rememebred me and said my results suggest crohns but as the biopsies werre damaged i needed further tests, now going to have a ct scan and possibly a capsule endoscopy. I have been told, that all information needs to be collected and then treatment can begin, i have been told i will be sent an appointment in 3 months! i am gutted, he sat there and said its crohns but still not medication, so add stress to my list of symptoms.
sorry for going on but totally fed up. thanks for reading,
