I'm feeling all the love girls, so many well wishes really does make me feel less alone, so thank you all.
So my apmnt was like a non-event for the specialist. He seemed less than half interested in anything I had to say, and rushed me along in my sentences...meh!
He wasn't the top Doc/Dog but someone in "the team" I pushed him for his best guess as to what he thought I had and he said Diverticulitis, which is what my GP also elected and he IS interested, and did listen to all of my poo stories with photos(tehe) Also inflammatory bowel disease, logic being as I already have an autoimmune disease, so I could be collecting more as I go along in age.....brilliant thanks for that!
He signed me up for a....colonoscopy you guessed it. Which should be in about a months time, so hopefully that will show up what the funkys is going on up my jaxie....there's no emoji for that thank goodness.
I'm still having soft poo, once or twice daily. About number 5 on the "Bristol stool chart"(If you haven't come across the Bristol poo chart do look it up for a laugh)All this is a dramatic departure from my normal BM. If you're like me and have been experiencing abnormal(for you)BM's for more than a few weeks, do see a health care prof....don't die of embarrassment!
