So I was feeling really terrible the last few weeks. really bad colour and I had noticed that my bowel movement where slowing down and becoming a different shape. Feeling as if im going to vomit at every meal. Terrible exhaustion.
It got so bad I started taking a few hours of work just to go home to lay down.
I also noticed that when i was taking my Asacol instead of making things better i was getting worse, so i stopped. The following day after a bad night I phoned a doctor and insisted I was seen. Its so happened I got a new doc that day and she was bloody good now that I look back on things.
Yje minute I walked through the door she told me I looked terrible and she immediatley checked my abdomen. Instantly she said I believe you may have a abscess or appendix problem and you aint going home today .
I ended up in hospital and after four days of tests they could not find anything. I was furious and insisted they keep looking and eventually one of the top surgeons agreed to do laparoscopy to have a look inside.
So last friday I have the op and I was told that the where shocked at the amount of scar tissue on the outside of my colon and surrounding organs. They removed a lot of it but some of it was too dense.
My appendix was around the back of my ceaceum/ large bowel and was starting to rupture. So all in all it turned out to be a much longer operation .
So now Im back home ,pretty sore but just sitting here thinking about the last few years and all those tests and nobody seen any of this .
Ive been taken of all of my meds and will do weekly bloods for the next while.
By the way none of this showed up in any bloods or scans
