Hello Mick and welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear you are having a rough go of it just now...
sooner you get the colonoscopy and a diagnosis
the sooner the docs can start getting you back to better health.

Keep us posted and we'll keep our fingers crossed for you.

All the best~Nancy

Welcome to the forum Michael (great name by the way )!

I am sorry to hear about the troubles you have been experiencing as of late. I feel you might not be able to get any concrete answers until your colonoscopy as you will find people who have the same disease on this forum can also have very different symptoms.

Try not to stress about this at all before the colonoscopy as that certainly will not help manager your symptoms. I knwo this is much easier said then done. Just know we are here for you to answer any of your questions or for some support!
