I am at the end of my tether. It all started off with norovirus which hit me on 1st of May. Following the noro, my gut never got back "into gear". Abdominal cramps, discomfort, and sometimes diarrhoea.
Since Wednesday evening I've had diarrhoea. All the time. Accompanied by bad cramps and pain. Immodium does nothing at all to stop it. I had 10 episodes yesterday for example.
Saw a GP yesterday (emergency appointment) who prescribed Buscopan. I also had bloods taken, and have been asked to deliver three stool samples to hospital for analysis (oh the joy!).
But the diarrhoea isn't getting any better. I'm fed up, and worried. Whatever I eat seems to go straight through. I am taking the rehydration sachets, but surely my body needs some other nutrients? I'm feeling low and have no energy. Don't dare leaving the house in case the diarrhoea strikes.
With it being bank holiday weekend, the earliest the GP can look at the results is Tuesday (if they are in by then). I'm not sure I can cope with the constant diarrhoea much longer. What do I do?!?
