Hi guys,
My name is Kate, otherwise known as Pixi.
I was first diagnosed in 2007 when I perforated & was seriously ill & in intensive care for a week. I had been complaining of a bad tummy for 12 years before this. so any way, to cut a long story short I had a chunk of the old bowel out, was put on azathioprine & went into remission pretty much straight away.
Have had 5 good years & managed to go back to work, however in September I just stopped going to the toilet, spent 7 weeks with no bowel movement & every laxative under the sun & being sick constantly. I lost 1/2 a stone in 7 weeks & was told that my bowel just basicaly doesn't work by its self any more, but also they no longer think my stomach even empties by its self any more & that is why every night I wake up being/feeling sick.I have in the past fortnight become totaly constipated again despite spasmotic drugs & laxatives & have had to change jobs to less hours & less pay, in the hope I can at least keep working.
got my GI on Wednesday, so will see what she says.
hope you are all as well as can be
