I need help

I have stage 4 endo and I’m awaiting my second surgery with a bowel and bladder specialist. In the past 2 months I’ve experienced severed sickness and diarrhoea abereaging every 7-10 days and it typically lasts 3 days.

Anyone had this? An on call dr tried to tell me it could be down to anxiety today 😢

It could be a lot of things, anxiety is one of them. I am not sure if it will be endo related, but I think you should be getting investigated, that sounds quite unpleasant and debilitating. Have you been referred anywhere, had bloods checked, stool sample sent off etc? I think your GP should be pursuing this.

Hope things improve for you.

I’m under a new specialist who is planning my next surgery for next year with a bowel and bladder specialist, I had a mri in October to help him plan the surgery but not had the results back for that yet. He put me on hrt in October too and I think it’s that causing the sickness and diarrhoea personally l. They said the next step is zoledax injections leading up to the surgery 🤷🏻‍♀️

That is good that you have a clear plan for the surgery but I am guessing it is some way off if you have not started Zoladex yet. Can you get them to change/ adjust the HRT though and see if that helps your symptoms, and/ or look at other causes for the sickness and diarrhoea? That is very frequent and it just dismiss it as anxiety seems wrong to me. Hope things work out.

my gp has called and booked a face to face for Thursday she think it could be the nuproxen causing the sickness 🤷🏻‍♀️
