Dear Friends
I hope someone can help me, i am distraught and cant cope, it all started in the early hours of tuesday morning, was woken by tummy pains and knew i needed to go to the toilet, it took a while but eventually managed to pass a stool, a few small ones, tummy pain continued back to toilet, soft bowel movement, and then diarrhoea, this in itself is not that unusual for me as i have had irritable bowel since i was a teenager, but what happened next has never happened before, had to go back to the toilet again, and all i was passing was bloody mucus, varying in colour from bright red to pale pink and this continued for the day, not a huge amount , but totally freaked me out to the point of hysteria, phoned nhs 24 and was so distressed they told me to go to the gp out of hours service, the gp there had a few sensible things to say,but a few things i found a bit unacceptable, mainy i should go home and chill and smoke a spliff, followed by a 'only kidding', and also they would have wiped their A**e and went back to bed, not really that helpful is it... anyway went to me own gp distraught when they opened, she has a feel of my tummy and felt in side my back passage, she could find nothing untoward with either, but due to severe health anxiety, i do get myself into a terrible state, over even simple matters, so she knew what aniety this was causing me, on wed has no bowel movement at all, thurs i was due to see gp again, had a small bm in the morning, normal colour but with blood and mucus, the same on thursday. , my gp gave me a steriod foam and gave me the option of waiting and see what happens or did i want to be refered to the hospital, i choose a the hosp referal, i cant bear .sitting and wondering and worrying myself sick, my gp said she was not too concerned by any of it, she thought i may have some local inflammation in the bowel.
I woke up today had a bm, which was small, slightly constipated but no blood, just a little mucus, then again in the morning same again, but this evening, having colicky pain, went from small movement with just a tiny bit of blood and mucus,to normal soft movement, no blood or mucus and then.... diarrhoea, with just a spot of mucus/blood, all in the space of 5 mins, now i have been back in over the last hour, having more diarrhoea, but no blood.........before all this happened, i have not notice anything untoward, no pain, no sickness, no weightloss, nothing, the only thin i thought at first might have been a connection was that 9 days previously i had stopped taking mefenemic acid for period probs, and i had been taking them every day for a least 2 weeks, a known side effect is Gi irritation etc, but usually in the upper Gi tract, i suppose im just clutching at straws....
I know this is a long story, and i cant begin to tell you how worrying/disraught i am, i have been in such a state on quite a few occasions this week, i almost crashed my car, have phoned nhs 24 cpn, begging for help, and taking diazepam, to try and get me through this.
I cant help but think that this is the begining of the end, my life is over, i am crying as i type this, i have so much to give, i dont want it to be all taken away from me , i dont know how im going to cope through this, i need as much help as i can get.
Thank you all in advance for reading this, and if anyone has had a similar experience who can help please get in touch
