Hi all, my first op here so hope I've done it right
For the past 7 months I have had diarrohea every single day without fail, some days it is 5 times a day other days it's up to 15 times again. I have nausea, vomiting, aching limbs, sore muscles, acid reflux and extreme tiredness.
I went to see my gp 7 months ago when it started and he sent a stool sample off for a virus- came back clear. 2 weeks later another sample sent off for calprotectin- came bag negative. He referred me to the gastro specialist and I finally have an appointment this week- 7 months later!!
In between the time I have been to see 5 other doctors, - trip to a & e and I have been told so many different things, colitis, crohns, virus, ibs, nothing wrong at all.
My blood test results from a few weeks ago show
Vitamin b12 definicency
Folic acid definicency
High platelet levels
Inflammation
And an internal virus
I have been waiting for so long on the gastro appointment I have started to loose hope and am starting to worry they will think I am wasting their time.
Just hoping someone else has been through this and can give me some advice/ some hand holding/ an idea of questions to ask at the gastro appointment
