Minor update to my last post

I posted a few weeks ago about being diagnosed with IBS so I went to a different doctor who wasn't happy with the diagnosis so she ordered an ultrasound (which I'm still waiting on). I went back to the GP again as my symptoms had gotten worse and she suggested getting a sexual health test.

I googled the symptoms of some of the common STDs and they were pretty accurate to the symptoms I'm having such as, lower abdominal pain, burning sensation in abdomen, painful bowel movements and to my surprise constipation.

I'm booked into for a test tomorrow morning and I'm really hoping it's something easily treated like an STD (never thot I'd pray for an STD before). I can't stick this abdominal pain anymore.

Just a though if other people are having these issues maybe worth while going to the clinic for a check up as If it wasn't for this new GP I'd never have thought too myself.

I'm really overjoyed at the prospect of potentially getting some answers and cures for this 😁

I'll post again with any news

Fingers crossed it's just the clap 👏😂

Was worth getting a check up anyway
