Hiya,
First of all, I am so sorry that you are feeling so poorly. I know you must be feeling really stressed out now, but hopefully you will get some relief when you go to the doctors and have someone try and figure out what's causing you so much grief.
My symptoms aren't the same as yours, but I have a good friend and it sounds like you suffer the same way she does. She gets the terrible cramping and C and D, and was especially frightened when she found blood. She went to see a GI and got tested to Crohn's disease (a colonoscopy), which came back negative. Now she's been told she has IBS and is trying to deal with that. I suspect your doctor might give you similiar testing to make sure you don't have an IBD.
I hope the doctor can better answer your questions and I _really_ hope you are feeling better.
Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes!
--Steph
