I have been suffering with diorrehea for 10 years and extreme lower back pain, heart burn, indigestion, high blood pressure, eye infection, aches and pain, vitamin D deficiency, vertigo and many more probs..not mentioning polio since i was 2 months.I have been seen by specialists since 5 years now and after all these symptoms i have never been investigated properply, I have been told all these problems are lying in me because of depression.I became very unwell in feb so Dr sent me off to have some blood tests, results were normal, then had an xray while waiting for results I started having a bad pain in the stomache within 15 mins.. became so severe, i started sweating severly, went all pale, my wife quiclky called 999 but ambulance said they will not come. I dont know how my wife drove me to the hosp.. the pain was so excruciating that the a & e took me inside straight away and gave me pain killers and started me on morphine. I was at the hosp.. from 10pm with pain and at 7am i was told 90% it is a ruptured appendix. they took me for an opp.. at 11.40 am 12 Apr.I came out at 4pm my wife was told it was a major traumatic suurgery and some part 15cm of large and small intestines had to be removed seems like crohns disease and the whole bowel area is badly inflammed but we have taken out the badly infected part it was perforated from 2 places. I had to stay in hosp.. for 4 weeks had an 8 inch opp..with 34 staples, peritonitis and pnueamonia too. I am having azathioprine, omeprazole, iron tabs.. calci chew, feeling unwell every day at night having paracetemols.
