Sorry, but please talk to me about PILES. Really TMI......

[MoreSpamThanGlam]

I know it's Sunday morning an d all that but I have been up all night and my symptoms are freaking me out.

I had piles when I was pregnant, they were painful and bled a little, but that was almost 3 years ago.

Last night I had nasty stomach cramps,diarrhoea and then massive amounts of bleeding from my bottom, including clots . I felt really weak and went to bed. I woke up at about 3am and more lower back pain and cramps, lots more blood loss and no poo, at this point I thought I was going to pass out.

This morning, more blood although less of it, lots of lower back pain, no poo.

I dont think I have external piles, and I was wondering if this sounds "normal" for piles?

Im sorry its so early but really could do with some advice. As you can imagine...a trip to the docs if its not necessary is the last thing I want to do.

Well my wait on NHS was several weeks, I saw my consultant in a few days. He is a lecturer at UCL and a consultant at St Thomas' Hospital. He is a gastroenterologist and a general physician.

I am not precious about private health care..in factdont get me started about the inequalities in healthcare for the poorer parts of the community!

Had more shit news this week. DH lost his job on Monday and admitted to being an alcoholic yesterday after swearing on my life he had not had a drink all day, after me and the kids saw him walking up the road with a can of lager in his hand.

Just all shit.

Oh dear Lord - you really are going through it - wish I could say something to make you feel better. I really really feel for you.

But at least you have us on your side !!

And it is good news that your D?H has admitted to being an alcoholic instead of hiding it - get him to AA asap and get some treatment in place to help him. You need him to be sober and as much help to you as possible.

Are you still pg? Are you coping ok?

HUGE hug coming from this direction

pg????? im not pg!!!!!

Its my first night without my kids..they are with him at his parents. Im so miserable.

Still Picolax day tomorrow...yay

sorry you are miserable, you certainly have a lot on your plate. Is your DH willing to get treatment?
No idea about Picolax but as you are not looking forward to it then commiserations and hope it is not too bad. Good luck on Monday.

Poor MoreSpam, hope it goes OK over the next few days. I had to take Picolax (or similar) before a colonoscopy a couple of years back - very odd experience 'pooing' water - put me off colonic irrigation though

Well ladies - here goes nothing.....cheers!

OOps sorry about the pg - wrong thread!

Aaah - have name changed again too - how confusing - sorry about that!

Still worried about you but at least you will hopefully get some answers tomorrow - please let us know how you get on.

Cheers MSTG! I had the picolax last year, wonderful stuff! I had a superflat stomach for the first rime in years, was well worth the sore bum!

Joking aside, I am thinking of you and I hope all goes well tomorrow x

Good luck for tomorrow. i shudder to think of all the horrible things they did to my bum when I was in hospital. It is SOOOO undignified

Good luck with the picolax, MSTG.

Yes good luck. I'll be thinking of you - not in too much detail of course lol but hoping that you are ok etc

Well I'm Picolaxed out (that stuff is vicious!). Ive spent the whole day on the loo and doing essays, but on the plus side got loads of reading done.

Im still deliberating (my stomach is REALLY rumbling) about whether to go with dh tomorrow. He is downstairs on sofa because he is taking kids to school.

Anyway - it doesnt matter really does it?

Im nervous as all hell about tomorrow and not looking forward to it. Thanks again my Bum Babes!

I will report back tomorrow night

x

Thinking of you MSTG Hope it all goes well and look forward to hearing your update x

Good luck!

Hope it goes ok!

My word, you've been through the mill. Sorry about your DH etc - and the best of luck today.

Best of luck - still thinking about you

Have just read this thread for the first time.

I have IBS and piles so know how uncomfy that alone can be.

Good luck today! Keeping my fingers crossed it all goes ok.

Blimey, I've only just come across this thread and have just finished reading it!

Good luck with your appointment today - hope it all goes smoothly.

Will check back later to see how things went

Another newbie to bum watch here! Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you today, and really hope that you get some answers soon. It sounds like you've had a truly rotten couple of months

Best of luck today

hope its all going ok today and that they can give you some answers.

i have my own date with picolax later on today in readiness for my examination tomorrow. Can't say I'm looking forward to it but at least by tomorrow evening it will all be over!

fingers crossed for you
