Hello friends, it’s been awhile since I’ve checked in. I’m just having the worst time and finding no relief. I think my GI doctor has done all the testing he can and the options are not great. He’s still trying but running out of options.
A quick recap (hopefully I don’t forget anything)
I have Crohn’s, Gastroparesis, IBS with constipation, slow transit colon (not sure that’s the technical term) SIBO, massive scar tissue, blockages, obstructions, severe bloating, EOE. I’m sure I’ve forgotten something, it sucks when your list of health problems is longer than your grocery list😔
I’ve tried lots of things (see previous posts) I tried all herbal including medical cbd and THC, I’m not sure if it’s making things worse or not. Tried Acupuncture. I’ve lived with the stomach pain basically my whole life, but the constant vomiting is making things really hard.
NG tube, temporary bag (to give my insides a complete rest), and waiting for a major obstruction and then maybe a risky surgery.
As I’ve stated many times my GI doctor gets it and me and doesn’t push me aside because the test results come back normal, although throwing up 4-5 days a week(sometimes more) run show something that they really can’t do anything for, or testing and finding nothing🙄
I’m exhausted and wondering if I should get a 2nd opinion from Mayo before tubes and bags start happening. I’m a single mom and feeling like a let down to my son. I want and need to get better for him and myself.
I guess to sum things up: where do I go from here? ??????? It’s been a year that I have been struggling with “episodes” and I’m no better.
Feeling lost and helpless. Suggestions, tips, advice are very much welcome and appreciated.
I hope everyone is doing better or have found things to help you feel better. I pray for all of you, this struggle is real for each and everyone of us.
I feel like I’ve lost direction, nothing works.
If it’s nit asking to much, I’d appreciate feedback on suggestions as what to try or do next.
