Hi!
Well, I seem to be suffering from a myriad of symptoms. I never had that great a GI system. Had severe daily nausea from mid teens all the way until early 20s. GERD diagnosis at 18. Most of that subsided mid 20s - late 30s, except a period of time when every time I ate (late 20s) I had almost immediate diarrhea. After several months it resolved.
Usually had just the opposite problem though until then. Literally, I was never in the bathroom except maybe twice a MONTH.
Had an ulcer on my colon removed in 1996. I was 27.
My surgeon ex husband diagnosed me as lactose intolerant in 2004.
Since 2011 I have had intermittent lower abdominal discomfort (that sometimes is actual PAIN). Occasional bleeding. I've had 3 CT scans over the past 5 years. The most recent three months ago showed "focal inflammation" on part of my transverse colon and the radiologist suggested further studies but my GP just wrote the whole thing off.
That study accompanied an odd sensation in my lower right abdomen that literally felt like I had a tennis ball in my guts just under my ribcage (but no obvious lumps when pressing the area). It originated some inches lower, so I thought maybe an obstruction? Nothing like that mentioned in the report.
I'd been experiencing worsening fatigue and random sweats since before that, and now it's ridiculous. I have a hard time sleeping as I start sweating significantly (sweats also happen during the day). I have to be in bed for about ten hours before I feel I can actually get anything done. The fatigue is out of control - take a shower, I feel like I need a nap. Do a load of laundry, feel like I need a nap. Sometimes I do just collapse again and take a 2 hour nap. I am so exhausted that I cannot even think. I've had days of marathon 20 hour sleep sessions.
Past two weeks, I am also dealing with insane nausea and stomach pains. Actual stomach (not intestines). Sometimes it feels like an icy pain middle of sternum slightly to the right that comes in waves or pulses. The only thing that stays down is turkey on bread with some bell pepper. Before, I could at least eat a bean burrito. Not anymore. My food intake is very restricted, yet my abdomen is a bit puffy. My face has some mild swelling, too.
Tired, dizzy, nauseated, hurting...*** is going on??? I am 47 next week. I used to be a figure competitor, and in amazing condition. Always was either the skinny girl or the super tone girl the first 43 years of my life. Past few years I'm just a weak, squishy mess. I at least did a few 5k early this year, I can't even think of exercise right now, it's everything to just get through the day. I have gained 15% more weight in past two years.
Any ideas???
