Wow, I just spent the last two days reading through these and to say it’s a relief to find out that I’m not stranded on my own desert island like I thought I was, is a relief words simply can’t describe ;.;
I’ve seen 3 different GP’s now…out of the three, one of them has told me;
“I’m very underweight, and show all the clinical signs of depression; (i.e. slow movements, dark bags under my eyes from lack of sleep and the most amusing; because I'm really pale -.-) so I’m simply attention seeking and need to see a councillor not waste his time.”
Yes, I am underweight; my mum weighs me regularly and I’m 93 lbs. But it’s not from lack of eating, I do eat. Just within 20–45 min’s I have to go to the bathroom…so I’m eating and never gaining the weight from it.
Then we have the other two doctors who have basically told me to eat the food I know sets my body off, then go back…
They don’t seem to get that I can’t move when I eat taboo foods. I know if I eat nuts then just lie in bed like people suggest I do, I'll end up spending up to 5 hours in the bathroom and sadly, toilets aren’t mobile…so I feel like I’m stuck.
They’re the only doctors near where I live, and they more or less refuse to even do anything till I “prove” to them that this is happening!
They don’t even seem to listen to me when I tell them they took my appendix out for no reason nearly 5 years ago, and the nurses were so rude to me for “wasting NHS money” and kept calling me a baby cause I couldn’t handle “a little pain”, I just wanted to go home so I said I felt fine, when in reality it hurt no less and I then had inner and outer wounds to deal with…
I regret it now, big time since last Christmas was awful, but I’m sensitive and I don’t like people who are meant to be helping me, calling me a liar or a baby.
I even told them about when I was young (8-9) my mum had to rush me to the hospital because I was literally screaming in pain from my stomach, I couldn’t control my bowels and I was throwing up everywhere from the pain…it just goes in one ear and out the other…
My worst triggers are nuts and alcohol.
So I do think I’ve had this since I was 8-9 since though I drank a lot of milk when I was young, it never bothered me, it only bothers me now if I drink a lot, but my mum monitored how much I drank when young, and I never ate raw vegetables, I had what my mum made me and it was all cooked- but with the stomach aches I did get, chances are there's some other trigger foods I have yet to “re-find” ><
Plus, my sister is deadly allergic to nuts, so they were banned from the house till I finally got permission to have them when I was about 18 as long as I kept them in my room. And alcohol is pretty self-explanatory due to legal age - and I will never touch it again-
I was literally screaming for my mum to wake up (it was around 3am since I got in quite late as it was my first night up the pub) But, all she did was get me a bucket cause I was being sick, then she sat outside the bathroom, occasionally asking if I was okay since she was too tired to take me to the hospital…understandable now, but at the time it felt like she didn’t care...
I just don’t know what to do anymore ;( But knowing I’m not alone really does give some hope since I can learn from reading pages like this and find methods on how to control the pain should I eat something I shouldn’t by mistake (Nuts = the greatest evil)
And sorry for the rant/essay, just I have so much to moan about regarding this and I never knew such an open and friendly blog for these type of problems existed till now ;w;
I really, really, really hope all of you are doing okay, and those who have had surgery are recovering well, and others also going through a rough time right now get “better” soon
And sorry again for the essay ;w;
