Hi there,
I posted a thread yesterday called "Help. Could this be the beginning of Chron's?" in Undiagnosed Club. My issues have only started in the past year or so.
I received a phone call today from the gastrointerologist to come in to get looked at for IBD or Crohn's. I feel really overwhelmed. Soonest they could get me in is 3 weeks.
The symptoms I have been experiencing are:
anal leakage
bladder leakage
constipation (but not very often, mainly my stools are normal)
mucus in my stools, blood as well (from hemorrhoids)
exhaustion
swelling in my rectum after bowel movements that is so painful!
and now i am sure my hair is starting to fall out.
My primary care Dr is stumped because I do not have diarrhea.
I feel really hopeless. I was first told it was food allergies so I cut out everything. But no changes. I was then tested for Celiac -- came back negative.
Part of me feels like I have been dealing with this stuff for so long that maybe I am just imagining it now. :confused2:
