For years I was told that wheat was the cause of my stomach problem's and I wasn't celiac.
I have also been told my joint and limb pain was psoriatic arthritis which the medication made my stomach worse.
This has been going on seven years plus and I asked for a second opinion to be told I have never had arthritis.
Earlier this year I reached a point when I couldn't break wind in public and a couple of very public place accidents and sleeping a lot- booked to see doctor and he didn't want to know.
Middle of the year I have a week of cronic trots which left me sleeping on a floor or hours on the toilet, as it progressed I ended up having two home visits and admitted to hospital.
Which a polish nurse and a doctor both wanted me looked at by specialist, but the doctor has to inform GP and then GP contacts specialist-crazy.
So deciding the GP had done nothing previously and showed little concern that imodium wouldn't touch it-changed practices.
New doctor thought fibromyalgia and gave me 10mg amitriptyline for joint pain, sweating and shaking-Booked of to see a bowel specialist.
Colder damp weather came and it felt like being punched and couldn't get out house, prescribed co-codomol.
I did some research and asked doctor if I could try co-phenotrope as I read it worked when Imodium didn't. Now instead of a week of trots-tablet and hour and I'm mobile.
Went for mri and had 1.5litres of wall paper paste to drink- cronic toilet visit and managed mri. Part way through buscapan and another visit to toilet at the end of scan.
Nurse said I could now take tablets-had to sit as couldn't write own name after buscapan and other tablets above.
Waiting for follow up specialist appointment, can't lift much or much energy and I hate taking tablets.
I've never been really ill and from can do out in weather to useless is hard to get to grips with.:sign0085:
