Saw the specialist Tuesday. She thinks i'm depressed and have IBS due to my assault (although the symptoms were there 2 years before the assault.) She put me on Buscopan. I took it last night for the first time and had an allergic reaction. I've been on all the IBS medications that they have, and none have helped me and/or maken me worse.
I have accepted the counselling and will have the option of two counselling places. One might not accept me though due to my age, but there is always the other one that will accept me as i've been there before. I have told my GP not to give me to the same counsellor as I had last time because we clashed and she wouldn't talk about why I needed the counselling, and would never talk about it, no matter how much I tried to talk about it.
I had physio yesterday because i've got HSP and my joints and muscles are all mucked up at the moment, so i'll be doing physio and going to the gym on prescription.
I am awaiting an MRI scan in the next 2/3 weeks and then if that shows abnormalities I will have a colonoscopy. If it shows i'm fine then they'll diagnose me with IBS. So, I am dreading the scan results. Knowing my luck it will show that i'm fine and we'll be right back at the beginning again.
I've gone back to college now, but it's hard because i'm in pain and feel sick all the time and those horrible toilet trips, but i'm really trying to go more.
My arguments against it being IBS is that i've been on every IBS medication they can give me and none have helped, I know when I am stressed or not, and I know my symptoms of when i'm stressed, and this isn't it. I've lived a year with being diagnosed with IBS and have tried all the diets and lifestyles of it and nothing has helped.
We're hoping though that my physio will sort my back and joints out, which will help the stomach problems. It won't cure it as the physio said because it's not muscular but me and mum reckon that the back problems just aren't helping, so when it's sorted it might ease some of the stomach pains.
I think that's all. I hope everyone is ok, or atleast coping ok!
