I posted previously about some stomach issues I,ve been having. Basically nausea,poor appetite,weight loss and some discomfort/pain in lower left abdomen. I,ve also been extremely anxious and depressed since all this started. Anyway I,ve had a gastroscopy,colonoscopy,abdominal and pelvic ct scan,blood tests,urine tests,chest xray in the last month and nothing has shown up. But I still have the symptoms. Consultant never mentioned ibs as a possibility but is this the only possibility at this stage? I feel an improvement since getting test results especially in terms of appetite and I,m making small gains in terms of weight but I still don,t feel right. Consultant reckoned I am suffering from a stress related illness and referred me to a psychiatrist who put me on citalopram and although my mood has lifted somewhat I can,t seem to let go of the fear that something has been missed and I have the big c or something equally awful. It,s like I,m afraid to let go of the fear in case something comes back to bite me later on.
Have any of u been in this situation where you just had to accept test results and just move on?
Also are my symptoms consistent with ibs? In particular do any of you have this discomfort in lower left abdomen/pelvis?
I don't really have constipation or d but I do have loose stools.
Thanks.
