Hey all. I am 25 and from Australia. I have been having some problems for a while now but I am still lost as to how to treat them.
I have been reading around and I am quite confused about what is wrong with me. For the last 2 years I have had problems with nausea and vomiting. Even went through a 6 week period were I vomited about 3-6 times per day. I was suppose to have an endoscopy done but I pulled out because of family pressures to do so (they think I am a hypochondriac. I have no idea why though). Was so bad at one time that when I was on my way to university I almost made it but then vomited all over the interior of the car and continued to do so every 5 minutes or so until I got home and laid down.
Over the last 7 months I have had constant diarrhoea. I have also had vomiting and nausea. The vomiting stopped but the nausea has not.
I have diarrhoea initially about 6-8 times a day but now it has settled a bit and I have it around 1-3 times a day. When my GP comes back from her holidays I am planning to see her but I don't really know what to say.
I am kind of arguing with family members at the moment. They think I am being a hypochondriac and they say what I have is normal but I do not think so much diarrhoea is normal. I have also lost 20kg of weight in the last 7 months, with no diet change or exercise. I do eat less now though but that is not by choice.
I have had some blood work done and stool samples and all that and they did not find anything. I am not lactose intolerant but I do not eat dairy often anyway.
I am not trying to make a post to see if anyone could diagnose me it was just that I stumbled across this forum and It seemed to relate partially to my situation. Just wondering what I should tell the GP and specialist.
My joints ache too and I don't feel too good. I rarely leave the house because I am scared I won't find a toilet and I am always tired. I actually went to the shops today for about 10 minutes and I was quite exhausted after I came home and slept for 2 hours. But I did not sleep well last night.
Any advice, help or direction would be great.
Thanks everyone and take care.
