To visit the walk in centre?

[Sienna333]

The top of my bumcrack has a small white/flesh coloured spot on it and although it looks insignificant, it is stinging like mad and I can barely sit. AIBU to go to the walk in centre? I can't take a minute more of this and what's worse is that I am on my period :(

What did the doctor say when you talked about your anxiety, as you said you would, and people have been telling you to for months?

It wouldn't have necessarily tested for inflammation though Kaytee and it was done back in October. I feel like this illness is identical to what I had then. There is definitely something wrong as in a chronic illness. An infection would not come on and off like this.
Christmas is ruined, feel absolutely shit and all I have to look forward to is knowing that I have a lifechanging diagnosis ahead of me. Could not be anymore fed up.

I really can't find a reason as to why you're getting worked up OP

I've had blood in my stools on and off for years Often with loose stools. I had a camera about 5 years ago. Nothing found. I also have joint pain, joint inflammation and other things from a condition I am diagnosed with. I never thought of UC & we have it in the family!

Honestly you need to seek advice for your mental wellbeing.

Your lifechanging diagnosis is a mental illness and Christmas will be shit because of that. And January, February.....onwards till you sort out what the real problem is.

And you'll lose more support from other people as you go.

Even if you are diagnosed with UC, it really doesn’t have to be life changing. I have it. Symptoms similar to yours. I take two tablets every day which keeps all the symptoms under control. I am totally “normal”. If I get symptoms I take extra tablets and sometimes a suppository. Which sorts it out very quickly. I give no thought to diet, I don’t worry about where toilets are and it certainly hasn’t been life changing.

And I didn’t have a colonoscopy. Just a quick flexible sigmoidoscopy which was painless and over very quickly.

There is not definitely something like a chronic illness wrong.
Do you know exactly what would come on and off like this? Anxiety induced IBS!

As I said before it's likely they did test for inflammation the first time. As I understand it, it's a standard test or why would they have carried it out on my toddler sons stool sample whose only symptoms are diarrhoea?

Op your Christmas is not ruined, honestly get a grip. I've tried to be understanding whilst sitting here with a leg&ankle that's broken in 3 places, a 17mo who has been referred for further, possibly, invasive testing and a Dad with terminal cancer.

You have a bit of bloody diarrhoea.

Unfollowing this thread now as op is getting ridiculous even taking her anxiety into consideration her bleating about Christmas being ruined is self indulgent and gives no thought to her small child.

I hope Christmas isn’t ruined for your daughter due to your anxiety.

I have a life changing event coming up next week. I'm definitely going to win the lottery I just know it

I’m trying to say this gently as I know you aren’t on a good place, OP but it is your anxiety which is making it seem that you have nothing to look forward to than a life changing illness. You can have a life changing illness and still have lots to look forward to. Lots of people do, everyday. Once you have had the help you need with your mental health, you will be so much more able to cope with this, even in the unlikely (because statistically it is unlikely) if it is what you imagine.

PLEASE GET MEDICAL HELP FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR DAUGHTER IF NOTHING ELSE

Op are you medically qualified?

I have to repeat this:

The only thing ruining Christmas is your anxiety. Please suck it up for tomorrow at least, for your daughter's sake.

What is ruining Xmas is your anxiety.

What will be a life changing illness is your anxiety. Unless you get help, you will create another thread identical to this, with another problem to fixate on.

For the sake of your daughter, get help - you really don't want her going through the same thing, and she will. I have and my mother is a very anxious person and I really resent her sometimes for exposing me to her worries.

If you have the runs, get some anti - D tablets. That's what the doctor told me to do. I must say it seems like you are unwilling to take any steps to make yourself perk up. I think that in some strange way, this is an excuse for you not to live your life and avoid 'adulting' in someway.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but please think about it - any advise given has fallen on deaf ears, apart from the advice that placates you or reinforces your anxieties. I find this the most worrying part of your threads.

Yes, My anxiety is out of control but I am terrified about having UC and having to care for a small child and work. I need answers fast. The D has been terrible today and I can't wait around for months to get a camera procedure. I am going to have to go private as right now, I am out of my mind with worry. I have both an anxiety disorder and an almost certain chronic bowel condition to live with and right now, I feel completely overwhelmed, alone and downright terrified.

I don't think the OP is reading any of this guys!!

How is a bowel condition almost certain! You've got the shits that's all you know for sure!?

't think the OP is reading any of this guys!!

This !

Yes your anxiety is out of control. That's why you're terrified and feeling how you are. But you won't reply to this post or seek help for your anxiety as it's not what you want to hear.

This is the last time I will say this:

I mean this genuinely, I really hope you are able to enjoy Christmas and push this all aside for the sake of your daughter but also for you. Take care.
