Bit of a long story short - I was diagnosed with ME last year and have all the symptoms ranging from fog brain, hair loss, ringing ears, aches, fatigue etc.
Recently I have been having a pain in my left side. Dr first thought ulcer and put me on omarazepole. Then they said IBS and put me on FODMAP diet. While on holiday I couldn't stop burping so went back to Dr. Also in the meantime I had over 40 women check and mcv was high (it's always raised) and neutrophils low. My uncle is pernicious anemia so I asked Dr about this. He said bloods indicated that not anaemic but would check b12.
He checked b12 (normal) ca125 (normal) ferritin which has come back low (7) I have a Drs appointment in 2 weeks to discuss.
Could this be what the ME has been all along? What does it all mean? I getting a bit worried about internal bleeding and the dreaded c word.
I feel so rough right now. Aching and tired. Any help appreciated.
