I have been feeling run down for a few weeks and my lymph nodes have been raised for a while. My doctor put it down to a sinus infection and gave me antibiotics which I finished last Friday.
On Wednesday I woke up with a stomach bug and I have had really bad diarrhea since. I called my GP yesterday and he asked for a sample to be dropped in on Monday and told me to drink lots of water. Today the diarrhea is as bad up to 10 times in a day and at lunchtime I passed a great deal of blood (sorry to be graphic!) it was jelly like but definitely bright red blood. I freaked out and called NHS Direct who got a Doctor to call me.
I have spoken with a thoroughly fed up sounding doctor he said the blood isn't that worrying as it could just mean a really nasty infection or a really irritated colon and that I should keep drinking water and call back if I got any worse!
I am so worried as every time I eat something very small (soup) I have to go to the toilet again and its blood, its happened 5 times. I feel pretty awful, I have lost half a stone since Wednesday and my glands are massive.
Please help if anyone has gone through this as I feel so miserable.
Thank you x
