Hello , it's me again.
I've posted quite a few times recently about my IBS - type symptoms.
I'm not sure whether I do have IBS or something else ?. I have tried different foods and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how they make me feel.
I started with this about a month ago. I have been to the Doctors several times . I had blood tests done ( I think about nine different things ) and a stool sample , all came back normal. The Doctor said " probably IBS or something non-serious ".
I have OCD and I have been constantly dwelling on death and terminal illness (mostly cancer ) since this started . I have been undergoing CBT and this has improved my state of mind somewhat. Just as I start to feel more positive though , I start to feel physically worse.
I am on mebeverine. One of my worse symptoms is a burning pain at both sides of my belly. I am also experiencing back pain.
Yesterday I was feeling really positive , went out for an hours walk with my ipod on. About half an hour later I started to feel terrible , with stomach pains. I ended up going to bed early.
I am sat here now , wondering what the hell to have have for breakfast ?. I can't help thinking there is something more serious wrong with me . The Doctors don't seem too worried though.
Would the blood tests have picked up anything serious?. Should I trust the Doctors or push for more tests ?. Do bouts of IBS last this long ( a month)?.
I'm sorry for going on , but no one around me seems worried and last night in bed , I kept thinking I haven't long left.
