Hi folks,
I don't have a diagnosis yet but the consultant suspects small bowel Crohns, I had a colonoscopy last week and they took several biopsies and said colon had patches of inflammation. They have advised me 4 weeks wait for the result of the biopsies and then I will see the consultant again, he has advised me that a pill-cam is probable, he's very good and very enthusiastic which is great as previously I've been under gynaecology and they've not been that helpful! All the problems I have have been going on for the last 10 years or so and bit by bit it's been whittled down to my stomach, recently I've lost a stone in just over 2 weeks.
The immediate problem I have is that since last week when I was at the hospital (and felt reasonable) I have returned back to feeling absolutely horrendous, I can't eat anything, have vile nausea to the point that I was almost physically sick twice yesterday, I can hardly move today from back pain and the stomach pain is very nearly unbearable, and I look like the living dead with cold sweats and no colour
I know that if I go to my GP I won't get any help, and I assume that I won't be able to see the consultant until he has some results/more of an idea what's what, so what do I do, or can I do, in the mean time to help myself?
If anyone can give me some advice (or sympathy!) that would be great. Thank you so much. :ghug:
