Heavy rectal bleeding and tummy pain - pics in comments (TMI)

I have Crohn’s disease with previous bowel surgery

I’ve been in a flare up for months with high inflammation

this past week I’ve been bleeding every day quite heavily, dark blood

my stomach is really hurting, have taken pain killers but not helping

saw doctor today, I’ve been fobbed off by the hospital so many times and explained that to her. She said my heart rate is very high and that im ‘teetering on the edge’ of things becoming bad, but that i could wait to see how it goes over the weekend but if I feel myself getting any worse go to the hospital, she has done an urgent referral to gastro & IBD team

pain is horrible, can’t get myself to the hospital as toddler is asleep and don’t want to disturb him.

asked my mum for advice and she is telling me the hospital will do nothing I’m just in a flare, I’ll be sitting there ages and there’s no point (she’s made me feel like im being over the top)

I’ve attached pictures of what’s going on. Just wondering if there’s anyone on here with IBD that could advise? Or anyone who’s been in this situation?

don’t want to waste time & I am in a flare but this feels different

if you’re squeamish don’t look!

OP, she's a complete wanker. Don't give her any more headspace.

Do you have any other relations or friends that can help out with bits of childcare like that?

She's clearly incapable of comforting a child who is understandably feeling a bit discombobulated. Because of her need to make absolutely everything about her.

No advice , just sending a virtual motherly hug, my 25 year old daughter has Crohns, and the thought of not being there for her would break my heart, makes me so sad when the person who should have your back the most and unconditionally can behave like this. Hope you are sorted quickly
