I know, I know, only the GP can help diagnose things- I have contacted the surgery and am waiting for them to get back to me with an appointment. We are only allowed to submit an online form for a request for an appointment.
i am hoping there is someone out there who has had the same/similar symptoms, and could help shed some light on them whilst I wait for the GP to get back to me. I have done the usual Dr google, and it’s such a varied range of things!!
i will list my symptoms, which have been going on for about 8 weeks (sorry for TMI)
- bright yellow mucus diarrhoea, no substance to them at all at least 4/5 times a day.
- sudden abdominal cramps with an urgency to go to toilet. These ease after I have been.
- sudden onset fatigue - not just a bit tired at the end of the day- proper knackered, nap after work type thing and then sleeping around 9-10 hours.
- walking during the night with cramps and the need to pass wind, and sudden panic that I might ‘follow through’ (then going to toilet with explosive diarrhoea)
A little bit about me- 3 kids, single parent (7-15), work full time, job is stressful but manageable. On the go at work but periods of sitting at a desk. Not a gym bunny, but not a couch potato either. Drink around 2-3 litres of water a day. Diet is ok, plenty of fruit and veg, red meat- no restrictions. No lifestyle changes in the last 18months. No medications. Returned from a weeks holiday 3 weeks ago, but symptoms started way before I went abroad.
any ideas at all?
