Does your rib get itchy or tingly? I get that too now and have neverrrr experienced that nor any of my current symptoms before.

I had insane anxiety about all this the first few months, but all 4 GI docs and my doc keep assuring me no cancer is visible in the scans. Its reassuring but not knowing what the heck this is, is very scary.

I still cant shake the feeling of “they have to be missing something, how can I feel this bad with no physical trace!”

I have read so many posts online and followed threads where people with the same issues were posting heavily on forums then suddenly they stop posting! Why! What happened to you!?

I don't have the itchy or tingly feeling, but your experience with sleeping is very similar to what I have been experiencing. I do at times feel like I am itching more than normal, but at the same time I think it very well could be in my head.

I am the exact same way with the anxiety. I have had multiple doctors assure me that there is nothing serious or no cancer, as they would be able to see it in the scans, but not knowing what the heck is going on easily lets your mind wander and think the worst.

You are right about the posts, lot of similar posts/threads, and often don't hear what happened. Not sure if what they found out was good news all things considered or not so good news.

Hopefully you can get some information from your new GI and glad to hear your pain is at least getting better. It sure is hard to get appointments, as I have had challenges getting appointments that aren't 2-3 months out.
