I would like to throw some of this stuff out and see if I can get any info or a response for my method of doing things.
I had a sig done on October 16th and I will be going back to get my results and further options tomorrow morning. I read the path report and it said this:
HISTORY:
22-year-old female with rectal bleeding. Sigmoidoscopy with biopsy. Irritable
vs inflammatory bowel. Sigmoidoscopy with biopsy. Two biopsies distal sigmoid.
Rule out colitis.
GROSS:
1. "#1." One tan soft tissue bit is 0.2 cm. One cassette. (ns)
2. "#2." One tan soft tissue bit is 0.2 cm. (lns)
EC
BTB:JMP 10/20/03
MICROSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS:
1 & 2. Sigmoid colon, biopsies: Healing acute mucosal injury, of unknown type. No chronic colitis. Both samples show similar findings.
However, because my body went in to shock they were not able to get a full look. He had trouble with a "curve" in my intestines because it was spasming(is that a word?) as a defense mechanism and all of the sudden I went into shock so he had to stop. That leaves me back to square one, really.
In the meantime, I am having little bowel movements and it's confusing me as to what is going on. Sometimes I have the urge to go and have to really PUSH for anything to come out. It feels like a whole bunch and then a tiny bit will come out, very skinny, smelly, soft and short. While other times, I am having D with only liquid and bids of food coming out. What's more is that I am having C right now and I'm supposed to be getting a stool sample today for tomorrow's appt and I have been able to move anything today. I'm so frustrated! I was given the suggestion of taking Flax Seed Oil so I started that last week only to find that my intestines felt like they were on fire and I had spasms really bad. (PAIN!) So I stopped taking those. I bought Slippery Elm, a multi-vitamin and something else from GNC. I just don't know what to do. I'm so scared that I'm going to go to the doctor's tomorrow and she tells me that I have to back for a colonoscopy because they couldn't get as far as necessary to make a clear diagnosis. (or rule-out) But if she doesn't, then WHAT?! She'll give me pills again. Is there anything that I can ask her to test for?
I am so sorry for going on and on but I'm just in such confusion about what's really going on, what I should do and what I shouldn't do.
Please help!
