I'm Not Sure Where to Turn For Help
Posted: 02-12-06 19:40pm

:? For the past 2 months I have had rectal bleeding and stomach issues-bloating and burning-that coincides with the middle of my menstrual cycle. I am also under constant stress that could be related ( at least perception wise) and have become totaly overwhelmed. I rarely sleep due to my daughters eplilepsy ( seizures in sleep) and when I fall asleep I wake up in a hour or two all sweaty. I have gone from a confident 36 yo career woman and mom to feeling like a person.

I am wondering if I have severe pmdd and an ulcer. If I do have an ulcer could the severe stress be causing the bleed and physical symptoms. I just had a colonoscopy in december of 05 which was fine. The bleeding started in january 06.
I am so unhappy and hopeless at times ( usually mid-cycle) and other times i'm ok-
any ideas????

Hi ther! I am no dr but my opinion is that you need to get to a dr and tell him/ her everything that is going on, if that dr does not seem to help you, get another opinion. Are you able to nap during the day? Can you get your daughter's epilepsy more under control?
Maybe someone else here has some better info.
Good luck to you and yours!

Cat is the rectal bleeding possibly hemroids? I've heard that rectal bleeding would look like coffee grounds not like blood. If it looks like fresh blood that could very well be hemroids. Esp if its not heavy.

As for the bloating during certain times of the month. I think its all stress and hormone related. You poor thing, you need a break!!

Have you ever tried something like midol or premysin? For period relief? I've found that they help with some of the hormonal symptoms like bloating even when i'm not on my cycle.

If you have an ulcer I think it would cause alot of stomach irriation and bad heart burn. (if you have those additional symptoms its time to call the doctor).
