its been a while again,

Hello, I know I cannot keep regular contact with this forum, but I have to tell you about my new symptoms. For the last month or so, I have had lots of blood in my stool, now its red, but its embedded right inside my stool, from the beginning to the end of it, I have had hemmorhoids for years, and they have been inflamed this is totally different.

My bowel movements, are lose and clumpy, at the same time, and I usually go about 5- 15 times a day, Yes I am drinking plenty of fluids, and yesterday, I had clumps of bright white stuff in my stool.

I really am sick of being sick, and they still dont know whats wrong with me, the most recent newest symptom would be a skin rash, kind of like hives, and I have not eaten anything different.

I'm still waiting to hear from the gi, to see when my appointment will be, I really hope I dont have to wait another 6 months for this one, ugh

Apparently I should have a scope down the throat done and have a biopsy done, to see what the problem is, No doctor has ever ordered one of these, except for the last doc I saw in emerg, who really seemed to care.

The contractions have not stopped, the distention is still there, especially when I eat the smallest amount, the weakness is still there, and I am still losing weight :( , and my stool is very foul smelling ugh!

I really am beginning to think, that I should wait until Im on my death bed, before they will actually do something extensive and find out what is wrong with me, this is really really depressing, it sucks.

Anyways, thought I would give you guys all an update on how I was doing, and that I am not getting any better:( I really wish they could find out what is wrong with me, I feel like I am wasting away, and there is nothing that can be done........

I also should mention that I had a rather serious surgery when i was 2 weeks old, I was born with a fistula between my wind pipe and my trachea, and they had to graph the hole, I almost died for sure, I dropped a considerable amount of weight in two weeks, and they almost lost me, because I could not keep any food down at all, Im wondering if this might have some after affects, now that I am older, not sure, just thought I would throw it out there....

thanks again, everyone, for your eyes and input!

take care all

Thanks Nanners, I live in canada, and im pretty sure that the pill cam is covered so I dont need insurance, I really hope that its not crohns, does crohns involve a skin rash too? I didnt think that it did, I have lots of other symptoms too, but I believe that they are all connected with whats going on with my intestines, and my whole system.
I'm going to suggest a pill cam, from the gi, if i ever get to see him.
thanks again, and take care

what about acne? I have had severe acne since I was 11, and the only thing that helped it was acutane, it is pretty bad right now, and im thinking its because of whatever this stupid ailment is that I have......
sorry for all the questions

I have not been diagnosed with anything, therefore the only drugs I am on, are prozac, lithium, and a stomach acid pill, I have had severe acne since i was 11 and now im 31 :(
but thank you

Topical witch hazel often clears up minor acne and seems to help with scarring. I have also seen people suggest apple cider vinegar (I expect that plain white vinegar would do the same thing) applied to the affected area. However, some people get red skin from ACV. I would guess that it depends on how raw the skin is there. Another home remedy is baking soda applied as a paste and used as a mild scrub. Be sure not to scrub very long or very hard. A gentle circular motion for about 3 - 4 circles is enough. Your mileage may vary.
