Had my consult with the surgeon on Tuesday. I now have to have an endoscopy along with the colonoscopy. He said his best guess for my symptoms is Crohn’s disease. I’ve been feeling worse by the day. More pain, more nausea, more fatigue. I’ve barely eaten today. No appetite at all. I hurt so bad physically, and I’m exhausted all the time. Walking has even become a task. My physical health has always been perfect. I’m becoming depressed. Cried twice today. Had to leave work early. May have to call out tomorrow if this doesn’t ease up.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s tough to deal with a chronic physical illness on top of a chronic mental illness. But you’ll know more about what you’re looking at once you have the colonoscopy and endoscopy. Until then take care of yourself and if that means a break from work, so be it. I hope you feel better soon.
I had colitis many years ago. I’ve never experienced pain like that before that point in time. Hopefully the tests will confirm the doctor’s suspicions. Please let us know how you are feeling later on.
