ok, so since I was about 12 (or younger,
can't remember) I knew something was wrong
with me. test and after test after test
came back normal, and I was sent to shrink
after shrink after shrink. It didn't help,
because at the time I didn't know what was
going on and didn't speak up because I was
extremely confused.
I'll be 23 next month, and some smart
internist figured out my problem (I
think). at first they thought I had Marfan
Syndrome, but my heart is ok (apparently)
I read on my PT paper that I have "joint
hypermobility"
now, that is great that they finally
figured out some of my pain (I hope, cuz
I've been told one thing, then other, then
other, and so on. very frustrating)
but my stomach issues are what is most
affecting my life. every year I get my
weight up to about 117, but then my
stomach starts acting up and I drop down
to around 100lbs.
I have ALL the typical symptoms of IBS,
but also symptoms of a stomach ulcer (I
take aleve). it's like this crap comes in
flares or something. I was thinking maybe
its more serious than IBS, perhaps
inflammatory, but wouldn't my labs (SED
RATE) be elevated in that case?
I just want my life back!!
I don't see my doctor for about 10
days.... thanks for any info/advice.
