So down today 🥺 Why does everything take so long and nothing helps
I'm in my late 40s and have a provisional diagnosis of Adenomyosis I don't think I've ever felt so low, as today. I'm waiting for urgent mri scan results, that I had 5 weeks ago. I am in crippling pain. My bowels are all over the place and everyday I have rectal bleeding. I can't tolerate stronger pain

IBS Diarrhoea
Hi Just wondered if other people have experienced the same as me, I have had diarrhoea for over 5 weeks now and gone through 5 boxes of Imodium and severe stomach pain with several trips to the hospital in the last month. I have not been able to work in the last month and have no idea what to eat

chronic rectal bleeding, colonoscopy normal
I have been dealing with chronic rectal bleeding for at least 8 months, if not more. Been blown off by doctors. My family doctor finally sent me to a general surgeon who ordered a colonoscopy. Was instantly not a fan of him. My consultation was literally a minute long. He was very arrogant, and didn’

Octasa / Mesalazine - Should I be seeing more of a change?
Hello. I have struggled with symptoms for 2 years - loose, frequent bowels, always with urgency, fatigue, etc. Had colonoscopy and relevant tests and doctor says that I likely have crohns and is treating me as such. I had steroids for 3 months which generally helped (though my calprotectin was higher

What are "normal" bowel movements?
With IBS have you noticed your stool never looks the same? Has anyone seen a change in how their stools look? Do they seem erratic, every day they look different? Sometimes it's thinner, sometimes it's not as long, sometimes it's short, sometimes it's weird shaped like a J...etc. Have you had a

Pred and stomach upsets
I’m just wondering if being on Pred makes my stomach more easily upset? I’ve been on it for 2 years now, but have always taken it with Omeprazole. I’ve noticed that I’ve had frequent bouts of vomiting over the last 2 years, whereas previously I hadn’t been sick for years and it was very rare. As a primary

visual snow and fibromyalgia
does anyone have strange vision. I see eye floaters all day and when I close my eyes but this has also developed into what I can only describe as black and white static vision. I’ve have issues with my eyelids not automatically opening too. Migraines are most likely linked but not the reason. It’s bizarre

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

Fibocalm
Hi, I have been trying the new Fibocalm for constipation capsules, but they are causing much worse bloating. I assume it’s Xyloglucan ingredient which I think is a FODMAP. It doesn’t matter what I try it’s always worse. Anyone else found this? Ros

timing between Lupron injections
After 17 months on firmagon injections, I switched to the 84 day lupron injection on June 15. How far can the 84 days be safely extended? I am currently scheduled for another injection on September 14, which is 91 days. I hope that is ok, as our scheduling was extended because of vacation conflicts
