Hi , iv been diagnosed several years ago with IBS , diagnosed with sigmoidocopy , had this on and off mainly on throughout the years , went to see my gastrologist last year who reassured me was still the case as i got a little worried .
recently iv noticed a few changes and all through this year iv felt rough and not right , and have got myself very worried , so went back to see gastrologist .
symptoms are ,
Bloating
left side pain at times not constant or every day
mush BM / once a day morning sometimes better than others
tired
ingigestion ( this is the new )
slight weight loss
ok reading that back all sounds scary ...
my history .
i suffer with severe health anxiety and has really peaked this year , iv had a lot of emotional issues in my life to specially the past year , iv had various tests , recently
full bloods on everything , all normal
inflamitory stool sample - normal
inflamitory bloods -normal
pelvic scans on /internal - normal
stomach scans / liver , kidney , spleen etc all normal
i had a week where i took ADS for anxiety but had awful side effects , couldnt eat felt so sick , and then a week of severe anxiety and hardly ate , due to the indigestion and worry about it .
so far this year iv been utterly convinced iv had
leukimia ,
pancriatic C
ovarian C
MS
latest ones below
stomach C
Bowel C
Throat C
when i get very anxious i dont eat as well .
i saw my gastrologist last week , who has given me omeprozol to try for 3 weeks and to weigh myself once a week and note the findings , we will then meet again and go from there .
He isnt to alarmed at this stage , and see how i go but may well do an endoscopy/colonoscolpy
im terrified thinking the worst .....can IBS cause all this ?? i try to rationalise it all in my head but its very very hard ...
im looking for a little support or posotive replies if anyone has any ...
thanks for listening
