Hi
For years I get occasional painful bowel movements and when painful a little bit of blood on the paper(sorry TMI). I was recently referred and the gastro specialist looked in with the scope and saw nothing. He sent me off with fyboget for 2 months to see if things improve then said he would do an abdominal x-ray and colonoscopy if not. He asked a couple of times if I "felt well or had aches and pains" because if so he would arrange the tests straight away, but I said no to both. Since then I have been worried sick about cancers, and in the last week have developed reflux.. and have a pain around my middle under my ribs... then I started to worry about pancreatitis. Its hard to think ahead and I feel like crying when I see my new husband and new baby daughter because I worry I am dying... everything in life is perfect except for this health anxiety... sorry to go on but thought it might be good to thrash it out on this board..
