I know this is probably me over-reacting but I need to check and I think you all can help. I've been diagnosed with IBS but have been asked to have a second opinion done due to severe weight loss (40 pounds), bleeding, increasing pain and lack of appetite. Since March of 2011, I have had diarrhea at least 3-7 times a day without fail and it has gotten steadily worse. On Sunday I woke up with a bald patch on my head (pretty traumatic for a 35 year old woman) and also noticed that my pain was bit worse. On Monday, I noticed my diarrhea was a bit less and pain was more. Tuesday the diarrhea was almost gone and pain was so bad last night that I took an oxycodone that I have from my lupus. Today I woke up without any bowel movements and feel horrible. My stomach has stabbing pains in it and I feel bloated but don't look it (does that make sense). I've tried tums, gas meds, Tylenol and nothing is helping. I've tried eating and feel like I am going to vomit. I don't though. I also feel like I need to have a bowel movement but nothing. I just am confused as to where everything went to after over a year and now I have absolutely no bowel movements and such pain. Any thoughts?
