I have had two months very painful Uterine cramping and bleeding . Turned out I had an infection and necrotic tissue. I was to the point where I was so out of it from the infection that I was just like an animal.

Because of this and the other bladder issues and symptoms, my gynecologist is suspecting that I have internal fistulas. I have been antibiotics for about two weeks now and the extreme gone,but the bleeding is not. I can barely eat because feel full all the time. Still have lots of pain in right side, uterus and a burning in my bladder feeling. Also getting sudden feelings like someone is spring pins through my stomach area, and still cramping but better.

So he's supposed to be booking an MRI. I see him on the 13 so hopefully they are booked and I got some good dates. Another test too, more for female parts I think. So until then, I have no true idea what is wrong with me.

I was diagnosed with Crohn's in about 2004 but I don't have a GI because mine up and left and I want having any symptoms (other then years of fevers, bladder issues, joint passing, lost 80 pounds a couple years ago because of Gerd. At that time I had a GI but he said there's no sign of crohns, gave me drugs for the Gerd and referred me to family doctor. But now I finding out all this could be related.

I just feel so down these past two weeks. I feel like if I have to see one more giant blood clots falling out of me I might start screaming and not stop. I don't know what's wrong and I feel like I'm losing my mind.
 
Hi bjaycat. So sorry you have to go through all this. Chronic illness takes a serious toll on us physically, mentally, and emotionally. After 35 years of crohns I found myself in a major depressive episode that went on a long time (probably went on for 10 years). I finally talked to my doctor who put me on medication and I also started counciling. It has made a world of difference in how I cope. Hope you feel better soon.
 
Thanks Dave :)
I actually struggle with a major depressive disorder but with medication I'm usually pretty good
Maybe because I was vomiting I didn't get my full doses in past few weeks. Also I can't handle a while lot of stress for some reason. I have to keep life pretty low key


I'm happy to hear you feel better now. It's too bad you had to struggle for ten years with depression.
