Well and truly stuck/confused

[KatAttak]

Ok, so After a painful year. I am now being told by my docs it's crohns but by the hospital it's just IBS.

Im at such a lose end as I am always in pain, so tired and physically and mentally exhausted.

Do other people get the same crap? As I have been told all of my symptoms are likely to be crohns, yet now I'm told it's just IBS and the other factors just don't count? How the hell is this right, why do I have to fight to get a proper answer.

Sorry to rant but I'm so upset and sick of this now. Do you bleed with IBS?? Does IBS cause ulcers etc...?

Hi KatAttak,

Sorry to hear you're not getting anywhere with your docs at the hospital. Is there maybe someone else you could see for a second opinion?

Are you on any medication at the moment? Hope things improve for you soon x

I'm not on anything at all at the moment and they just keep telling me they can't put me on anything as they can't diagnose me. So yeah in pain and not happy. I'm going back to my docs for a second opinion as they seem to certain and they can refer me to someone else.

Thank you for your reply. Just really feel like I have nowhere else to turn to. Just been crying non stop

hi KatAttak, are you seeing a GI doctor? I don't think the hospital can diagnose you with something different than your doctor who sees you regularly and has done tests? As far as I know, IBS does not cause any damage to your intestine so if there's damage then I'd think it's something more serious than that.

Good luck, hopefully you get some answers soon! Keep pestering your doc to figure this out
