Excessive bleeding- blood smells- emergency?

If your bleeding to the point where it's like a "period"....

I'd go to the E.R... And i don't usually go to the E.R.. Thing is.. your going to pass out from blood loss, plus I doubt you can keep your blood levels up orally if you are bleeding So.

Smells? Anything coming out of the other end is going to smell. what are you eating?
If you are not eating, it's probably nothing. unless you have C-diff.

No, no stool... Just clear blood with those fleshy litlle pieces, which smell like rotten blood, not stool, like blood that's been accumulating for a longer period, which worries me, I don't know where it's coming from... It never happened to me before... I had a bit of soup...
I feel very tired now, and I'll go to sleep. Tommorrow is another day, I hope it will all be better when I rest. Then I'll contact my dr, and see what happens. She was into giving me prednisone and imuran again, but I refused it since I had a very bad experience with it...
I'll skip my Salofalk rectal suspension for this evening to avoid making it an obstacle for all this blood.

Thank you for your support.
And I don't know what C-diff means... I was in remission for three years, and it all came back in july, not even the hospitalisation helped.

rrina - I agree with the idea of just taking it easy and laying down. Bed rest is good if you're bleeding like you are. If you can't get to an ER, just keep a close eye on it and do your best to touch base with a doctor if you can. Maybe they have someone on call you can just talk on the phone to?

The smell - I know that. I notice it when I start really getting further down my spiral. To me it smells like sickness. I don't know what it is, but remember if you're bleeding that much then there is plenty of ulceration and... think what an open sore does... it pusses over, bleeds, closes a little, breaks, pusses, bleeds, etc. An open would, if not cleaned, would smell too. Considering you can't clean the insides, that's what I always think it is. Of course, I don't really know but that's my thoughts when I notice it.

Hang in there. It might stop on it's own, so it's best to try to get help, but try to stay calm and just rest. Maybe you can watch a movie or tv?

rrina, i know what you mean,, blood has a distinctive smell when it gets old and lots of it, its not something most people have ever smelled . its part of that "smell of death" people talk about at disasters... if you can get to a dr, and try to keep getting fluids in.

roni, the heart does not make blood.. its is made in your bone marrow and not as quickly as we would expect. ;0)

Good morning, everyone. And thank you.
Yes, that is how Francis Bacon wrote about the smell of death. And that is how I imagined it.
I had one liquid stool during the night with some blood, and another woke me up, but with less blood, which is encouraging. It did appear at the end of the process. I'll wait a little bit longer to see how it goes, and if it continues, I'll phone my doctor.

It was a mixture of fresh and old blood, yes... What do you think, where it comes from?

So good to know that someone out there knows how you feel... Advice from the healthy people sorrounding me feels so fake, in spite of all the good intentions.

Hi rrina, I really don't think this is an issue you should ignore. Blood loss can have some serious issues. I think you would be better off doing as your doctor recommends and going in to the hospital. You can never take in enough fluids to replace what you are losing. I am worried that you are not taking this seriously enough. Please be careful, your health is important too. Hugs!

I totally agree with Nanners and Randy on this i understand your concerns about school and the distance but the blood loss is not good and no you will not get enough fluids to replace lost..as was already stated..i really think you need to go to hospital n get this checked out n under control...lyn..keep us posted

Thank you both...
I do understand that... It's just that I am tired of all this, and I believe all of you are, and all of you understand that. I do take all the meds I am prescribed, but I am terrified of prednisone, since it made my life miserable before. Of course I will take advice from my doctor and certainly advice from you, and take this much more seriously. Thank you for your concerne.
I will get an IV of glucose, vitamins C, B1 and B6 this evening. Any more suggestions for this tasty cocktail?
Hugs!

Of course you're not trying to be rude, I am taking all the advice as friendly:). And I am very greatful to all of you.
I already contacted a doctor close by in case of an emergency... I'll keep you updated.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!

I am glad you are able to get the IV's at least at this point. That will help alot. Do keep us posted, okay. We do care. Hugs!

Yes, Grandpato2, I expect to get prednisone soon...
Today my mission is to get a paper from my birth town that I need a check up at a clinic in a town I live in now, as a student... In order for them to give me a consent to leave the country for a treatment, which is very complicated and difficult to get here. Although I have been a patient at that clinic abroad for 4 years... It's all about the money. If I don;t get it, I'll go anyway, and pay for the treatment.
Another problem would be a trip of 400 km without a toilette.

How much check ups, hospitalisations and medications cost in your country/ies???
