Hi everyone im new to this forum and looking for a bit of advice and support if possible. I have had the most horrendous 3 months of being ill which I feel is taking over my life
so basically it started in febuary with diahorea then vomiting I just assumed it was the noro virus that had been going around anything I eat could set the nausea or diahorea off I was struggling to keep hydrated and was admitted to hospital to be rehydrated after they had done that they discharged me saying it probably was a tummy bug but still I felt no better two days after that when I was in bed I had the most horrendous tummy pains I couldn't even cope with the pain ( I think I dealt with my labour pains better than these pains lol) and I was taken straight back to hospital where I was given morphine amongst other things to kill the pain by this point I was bringing back up un-digested food and the diahorea was still constant so they decided to keep me in for a couple of days then decided that it was just gastrointiritus and that I would start to feel better after 2 weeks....but no the symptoms got worse.. I felt like I had a burning sensation just under my bust it was also tender to touch or even walk standing up straight, my tummy was bloated, I still had the diahorea and vomiting on and off every few days with tummy pain, but I also has constant overwhelming nausea, fatigue I literally have no energy what so ever all I can do is lie down even after a long nights sleep I wake up and feel like ive been awake for weeks ive also had terrible joint pains, what I can only describe as really dry sore painful eyes, mucus from back passage ect ect so I went back the doctors various time which they tried to say it was IBS I was having none of that ive suffered with that before and this is nothing like it, so I went back yet again and was sent for a blood test which revealed I had a high inflamatoury marker so my GP referred me to a gastro specialist as urgent as I also had a dramatic weight loss 1stone 7lb to be exact in the space of a few weeks, in that time I was yet again admitted to hospital with extreme pains, vomiting and dehydration this time I was promised they would keep me in and do all the test to get me sorted ..but they next day decided they would let me go due to there being no beds on gastro.... a couple of weeks on I got few very painful mouth ulcers that came out of no where they were so painful I could barely talk the doctor gave me these steroid tabs to dissolve in my mouth but they wasn't dissolving due to my mouth being so dry out of desperation I took my dads prednisolone steroid tabs which did the trick and got rid of them and for few weeks after that I felt ok all my symptoms seem to disappear then last week they slowly started to creep back the dry eyes, fatigue and joint pains I felt generally unwell then on sunday BOOM vomiting all day and now I have what I can only describe as constipated diahorea where I feel very constipated and bloated its so uncomftable but then get the urge to run the loo then nothing happens and when it does its just abit of diahorea :s??
Luckily im booked in to have a colonoscopy on Saturday to see whats going on has anyone else had one of these and do they hurt??
sorry for the big essay guys and girls I just wanted to give as much info as possible to see if anyone has been experiencing the same thing as me
