usually my bowel movements for ever have been random times and days and a little on the hard side. but for last 3 months it has changed suddenly to every day same time each morning give it take so i tell my doctor and she is unconcerned but it continues and now having 2 tone movements in one go like darker one half and very light and softer the other, sorry for tmi but this happened again this morning and i was crying and shaking.
so i had a telephone appt with a gastroenterologist this evening and he agreed after i explained it was a change of bowel habit and altho my fear is unlikely it would be a good idea to do a colonoscopy so going to get one as it's just on my mind and been like it for 3 months now xx i know i'm a disappointment getting it done and i don't relish the thought/ but i said to him; if a patient came to u with these symptoms would u do a colonoscopy and he said yes. He said he even had one himself last year and he's he same age as me! although i'm
now panicking that it's been 3 months and nothing has been done if it is something !! My doctor was adamant i didn't need one but he is a specialist and i wonder if she said no because of my anxiety but surely that's not a reason? x symptoms for 3 months, from random days and time to every day around same time in morning and looser (not diarrhoea) lighter even 2 tone in some movements, dark and really light which has also really freaked me out !! colonoscopy booked for 1st june and already in a complete panic about the results as even tho may seem like vague changes it's a change for me and wondered if anyone else had had this happen to them. Why did GP say no to colonoscopy but specialist agree? feeling very scared, i am 43. thank you for reading. i do suffer from health anxiety and reassurance is meant to be a no no but asking ladies of same age and if they have had his experience just to calm
me down . x
