Hello friends, it's been a while :)
I'm not sure this is the forum to post this, but anxiety is the main issue right now. Sorry for the TMI, and I have no idea what I have, so don't know if this is colitis or??? Should this thread be moved????
First of all, last july I did the best thing ever: I went and saw a PDoc and got on fluoxetine (prozac) and gradually that made a world of difference! It was not an easy road, but I stuck with it and it's help more than I can describe.
I was back here at this wonderful forum last year when I kept gettiing called back for further mammogram tests, the understandable panic stuff... Luckily for me, it was cysts.
Now for the past 6 weeks, I have diarrhea. Some light brown, oily/mucus (Ugh, TMI I know!) and it's been a heck of a time getting in to see a GI.
Initial blood tests: UTI (urinary tract infection), a slightly raised blood sugar (102) and something about checking my renal function.
I have no real pain, but my Brother died of pancreatic cancer so I am scared, scared. By the time you know you have it, that's too late. My Dad had colon cancer.
No blood, no dark stool, no sharp abdominal pains, so I guess that’s good but… Dr Google sure does not help!!
I think I finally get to the the GI Doc this Tuesday, but surprise, surprise, I am... Having a great deal of anxiety.
Thank you for allowing me to at least say this out loud.
These health issue worries sure get exhausting. :(
