Hi,
Other than having ME & also IBS and being on many pills, i still get awful Cramps in my upper stomach and lower abdomonal which makes me feel bloated, nauseas & Constipated.
At the begining of September 08 i found a lump in on my vagina lip, which over the last few weeks and months have turned into 3 unusal bumps and mini itchy ones all over reaching to top of my tail bone.
I went to the gum clinic where i had many STi test which all came back negitive. The Dr’s have no idea what it could be.and put it down to Excezma.
Over the last few years i have been suffering from thrush, but lately the thrush creams are not working anymore and i was told to come off them straight away.
This month i’v been having stomach cramps period like on and off non stop! for nearly 3weeks, really sore boobs and emotions are running wild. Finally i came on my period i always feel sick and migraney when i first come on but this time yet again having the most painful cramps. i spent most of the night sitting on the toilet with dirrihea at first i thought it was the winter dirrihea but its been really strange.
Like the cramps of my period make me feel like i need a number two quickly but when i try go im back to being constipated and my period is being weird too the cramps are making it feel really heavy but when i go to the loo there is nothing a part from the odd spot in my pants. I haven’t got an apeite and all my food taste funky
One girl i was talking to on a message board said i should go and check for PCOS a hormonal imbalance..
Do you think i should??
&
How would i go about getting checked for PCOS??
please HELP! very worried..











yes get checked!
Does not sound like PCOS to me. You would have one or more of the following, excessive hair, over weight, irregular periods, skin issues and some other bits.
This is what happened to me. About 5 years ago i felt exactly the same as you do, it was horrible. I could not enjoy doing anything, i could not commit to anything as i became this ill person, and at the age of 22 that was not fun! The docs told me IBS and gave me pills which made no difference so i stopped taking them, went back, had blood tests and nothing came up. It lasted about 2 years of doctors hospital, and at one point i though my appendix was coming out. I became miserable, thin and depressed. I did not sleep on my side for almost this whole time and had bad runs every night so would sit on loo till about 3am every night waiting for it to stop.
Along side this i was hardly eating with fear of what was making me ill. I was living on hot milky drinks, cheese on toast and jacket spuds just to fill myself up.
Eventually i went back to the doctors and they referred me to a nutritionist.
Long story short…. she put me on an elimination diet. Siad to give one thing up at a time for 2 weeks each and at the end of the 2 weeks re-introduce it for a day.
First i tried wheat and felt no different, on re-intro it made no difference.
Second i tried cows dairy.OMG it was like a cloud had lifted, within 3 days i could sleep, no ‘toilet’ issues, not bloated, not tired.
After 2 weeks i knew but decided to see what would happen so i drank a giant latte and had cheese sauce pasta. Sure enough same old thing, straight to loo, pains, bloated and bad bad nausea.
Turns out i am lactose intolerent. Only cows dairy, i can eat goats milk and sheeps milk and eggs etc
basically i cannot digest the acid Lactose as i do not have the enzyme lactase to break it down, therefore it jams up my digestive system causin all the issues.
Looking back i was eating the comfort food that was making it worse.
Not sure there is a test to find out but i would highly recommend you eliminate and try it. Mos people with IBS find dairy to be a trigger food.
Sorry if this is long, but i really feel for you and do hope you get it sorted.
5 years on i feel great, i have been able to re-introduce small amounts into my diet like a bit of milk in my tea, and itsnot a problem anymore, but the god thing is, i don’t get upset with worry if i feel ill cause i know wwhat is is and i can handle it all
Best of luck to you, let me kow how you get on xxx
