Hi,
I have not been diagnosed with IBD but the doctor feels my symptoms are showing I could have it. I struggled with bleeding, bloating, lower left pain, awful fatigue, accidents, joint pain and mucus for about 3 months. Cal protection levels were over 2000. I had a small bowel mri that came back as normal. I am awaiting a colonoscopy but now my symptoms seem to have passed (although things still aren’t normal). This is the third time the hospital has taken so long to help out that my symptoms have passed, not sure how often I can stand it 😢.
My questions are... Does it mean that it’s not IBD as my mri was normal? Will a colonoscopy show anything if I’m feeling better? Should I follow this all up as it keeps getting missed? Will this go on forever as there seems no urgency by the doctors to diagnose anything, even when I literally cannot move from feeling so poorly?
Thank you x
