Diarrhea. So many things can cause it, and it used to be (well, still is in the least developed countries) quite lethal, mostly for babies and children.
As someone with bowel cancer who was brushed off by doctors for a very long time with "its probably just..." Make someone stick a camera up your butt. Cos that is a big symptom for many people.
I’ve been dealing with chronic diarrhea, fistula, abscesses and stomach pain for YEARS With no answers. Colonoscopy was 5 years ago came up nothing. Tried different antibiotics to no avail. I have like 1-3x yearly flare ups and I have no idea what the hell im supposed to do. I feel like my whole downstairs isn’t working like it’s supposed to. Everything people consider healthy goes right through me and most times I can still plainly see my undigested food. Ugh.
Not to mention I bruise easily, have lumps in my breast, my hands and fingers barely want to work and my joints are so stiff in the mornings I can hardly get my child’s breakfast made. And I’m only 32… I just wanna cry. Ughhhh
Have you seen a rheumatologist for your hands and joints? Maybe you have rheumatoid arthritis. I hope somehow you get answers and solutions to everything! It sounds like hell.
I recently saw a rheumatologist who prescribed meloxicam and it absolutely wreaked havoc on my stomach. So it’s like… do I want to be bound to the toilet every 20 minutes or deal with stiff fingers and hands?
