I am going to Mayo in July, soonest tgey can take me. that photo looks awful. How can Drs not take you seriously!?! What did they say about it!?!?!
I have microscopic collitis, diveerticulosis, and had part of my colon surgically removed in February due to a cancer (NET). I also diagnosed with A&B toxin C Diff. I got better after colon surgery but right back severe constant abdominal pain, diahrrea, and cramping, lethargy 3 months later (now). My medical team is in Arizona, and I am stuck with country medicine in Northern Minnesota. No Gastroenterologist or Oncologist within 70 miles, and even they are booked out until July August. I called the ER the other night-she said to look for a nurse line # on my insuraance card. There was none. I totally get what you are going through. It sucks. And I am sorry. Where do u live?

I live outside of Chicago and work for a Medical School. The sad part is the hospitals entire GI team walked out due to no pay raise for 3 years. Now we have a new group, but nothing to write home about.
