I have had almost every test that I can think of and no one can figure it out...
Initial Symptoms: Lower Abdominal Pain on the Right Side, Fatigue, Dizziness Spells, Increased Sensitivity to Cold, Extreme Constipation (Close to 10 days without going), Chills, Lower Back Pain (Disappeared after emptying my bowels for colonoscopy using GoLYTELY), Experienced Pain in My Joints All Over my Right Side Last Saturday (Seems to have resided)
Now: Along with other symptoms, Nausea & Vomiting (Dry Dark Blood, mucus like), Fatigue and Dizziness Spells have gotten very bad, Chills have escalated, Haven't had a bowel movement since my colonoscopy with a feeling of needing to go always lingering. Pain is still present in lower right abdomen (comes and goes, can be severe, but usually just hangs around being tender) but not as severe. I just want to sleep and in a way not wake up.... I don't want to go on feeling this way. Also, I have noticed my face is breaking out recently with mostly cystic like pimples and even some around my lower back.
Blood Test Outstanding Results: TSH - 5.88 and elevated white cell count (Sorry, don't have the exact for that)... Also can't see if they did a CBC... looks like only a WBC
CT Scan: Nothing Abnormal detected
Small Bowel X-Rays: Inflammation of last part of small intestine
Colonoscopy: Mild Iletis and Erythema in Proximal Ascending Colon
I have maybe had four full meals in the past week and a half due to the fear of what may be going on in my system and how it may exit.
I am beginning to lose hope... Now the docs want a stool sample to test for Shiga Toxin 1 & 2, CDIFF, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia... The problem is that I can't produce a stool sample (unless they make me drink that GoLYTELY crap again)
After the colonoscopy they said Crohns, however, due to the lack of granulomas in the biopsies they are ruling it out as of right now. I was hoping we were finally getting somewhere with the diagnosis but I guess not.
Any ideas guys and gals? Starting to loose my mind. I hate being at the hospital and do not want to be labeled as a hypochondriac. I just want to start feeling better.
Other abnormalities noticed: Severe sensitivity to raw vegetables
