Pain and feeling fed up 😒

Hi all I am New to this group.

I have been diagnosed with IBS a few years ago, but to be honest it's been on and off with pain for many more rear. 2years ago I started a new job and it's got worse, they have told me its is stress related and I was also diagnosed with M.E about 8years ago too. I have had blood tests and nothing bad showed up, only my sugar level had a little more rise than normal, but I have to keep an eye on that once a year. Back in August 17 I noticed a change in my bowel movements, I had diarrhoea for about 8 weeks and lost about 1stone in weight, so more blood tests, nothing came back from the doctor on that and it settled down. But I am still getting loose stools, pain and wind at least twice a week. I am so sick of this now I have tried changing my diet, it's slightly better but it's worrying me now. I am really sick of taking tablets to suppress the pain in my left hand side of my back. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Hi. I’m similar. Pain is my main issue with occasional diarrhoea and urgency. The pain is daily though and hard to take meds as it comes on so suddenly and violently. Like you I find it exhausting and it completely takes over each day. I feel very low with it all. Sorry - not much help!

It is a help, knowing it's not all in my head and just knowing someone else is going through the same as me, all sorts of stuff is going through my head, I don't know what I can do about it. I have a GP appointment in a few weeks, so I am going to try and push for more investigation. But thank you for your reply x

I hope the GP is helpful. I’ve been to the gastroenterologist and am going back. Last time he said he might put me on a low does anti depressant as that sometimes helps. We’ll see. In the meantime I’ve worn out a hot water bottle which is constantly in use! Good luck! x
