I’d like to get some insight

13 Replies

Hello, from my previous posts some of you may know I’m struggling hard. This is my list of symptoms please if anyone has any home remedies or medication that can help relieve ANY of these please let me know - I’m desperate. (Before anyone asks I am waiting for an appointment to see a gastro but right now I’m on my own.)

List:

- Pain in: stomach, above belly button, bowels and bum that shoots up my bowel/back if that makes sense - the pains last all day and vary from numb pains to shooting pains.

- I have a lump above my belly button that is getting bigger and hurts.

- I can’t eat anything except cereal without severe pain or feeling like I’m gonna throw up. I also heave whilst eating.

- I have acid reflux.

- I also “throw up” in my mouth.

- I bleed a HELL OF A LOT when I go to the toilet and after. It also hurts a lot during and after. There’s blood in my toilet and I also have “gunk.”

- I am extremely itchy - all over but mainly on my stomach and eyes. To the point where I can’t sleep.

- the doctors have also told me I have a low white blood cell count.

please any information would help 💓

Try to move up the gastro appointment so you can see them as soon as possible. You may also want to consider going to the emergency room.

I have tried, either last week or the week before I was up at a&e because my doctor sent me with a form to get this all moving and they turned around and said “you know this won’t even help you get an appointment faster right?” And my mum and I were like so why are we here?

I am so sorry to read all the pain you are in i really hope you are loads better soon. I have been itchy all over for a couple of days now and i have asked questions on here if anyone else has been. From reading what you have put i really think it is some how realated to having IBS . I am taking allergy tablets morning and night and putting cream on my body from head to foot four times a day. It has got a bit better not so extreme in itchy. But its still there. Best of luck to you so hope you get better soon . x

Hi, thank you 💓

I’m sorry you’re suffering with the itchiness too I hope it calms down! I believe it is to do with the IBS as I’ve never suffered from itchiness until I got ill but who knows at this point lol

I suggest going and seeing a reiki practitioner. They can help reduce inflammation while you are waiting to see your doc. This article is on what you can expect from reiki: sickofibs.com/well-being/re...

Hi, ☺..try not to go to E.R. because in my experiences, they will only deal with one problem, which has to be of "severe/moderate pain..they usually dismiss all your other symptoms, as they are rushing around from room to room and don't take the time you need with you. At least here in the States. I had a lump above my belly button too..first I was told it was muscle strain, from straining on toilet. Got a 2nd opinion..ended up being a small hernia. Keep insisting on tests..cat scans, MRI's, lower abdominal barium follow throughs are also very helpful..💚

Hey,

Yeah I wouldn’t go to the a&e about it I don’t like wasting their time lol. They already have enough to deal with plus I’m very impatient and don’t like waiting so a&e is a no no for me 😅

Thanks for the advice x
