It's been a while since that I've been here.
I'm 33 years old...about to turn 34 in a few weeks.
Been under severe stress due to cold turkeying my anti-depressant and having crazy withdrawal symptoms. I have diagnoses of Anxiety Disorders (General and Health Anxiety/hypochondria), Major Depression, and Pure OCD.
At the moment, the symptoms have moved to my G.I. area.
I've previously been diagnosed with IBS.
Over the last months, I've been having abdominal cramps and aches that move around my abdomen.
Constipated gas.
Lower back pains
Passing mucous, once in a while I see some red tinge in the mucous.
Then, thin constipated stools or it switches to diarrhea.
Previously I've had hemorrhoids and anal fissures.
This morning, I was constantly pooping thin stools.
Then, later on, I barely passed a thin movement but my toilet bowl was full bright blood. I freaked out and went to the ER thinking I've developed Bowel Cancer.
I was checked and typical blood work came back normal.
They, did some test were they inserted a finger up my rectum to check for blood and came positive. When he did that, I felt some pain.
Though, the Nurse said that he didn't feel any internal hemorrhoids or see anal fissures. I was shocked that he didn't see an anal fissure since I feel a severe burning sensation, and gash like feeling.
He said that I should go to a G.I. specialist to get a colonoscopy for peace of mind.
I already did an appointment to see my primary to refer me to a specialist.
I went home and took a piece of toilet paper were I feel the burning and gash like sensation and there was a thin line of blood, then I keep cleaning, there were little drops, then nothing.
I don't know what to think. Is the blood coming from a hidden tear in my anus or something from inside my colon.
