I have been suffering from stomach pain for the last 20 years to varying degrees and this was put down to IBS as colonoscopies at the time we're coming back clear.
Recently I became very ill, doubled over with pain, joint pain, being sick, fever, headache and my doctor's sent me for some blood and stool tests. The Serum C reactive protein levels in my blood tests came back at 40 mg/L [normal range 0.0 - 4.0] and the calprotectin in the fecal samples came back at 1204 (normal range 100) so this shows high levels of inflammation in my body.
I've also lost 10lbs in the last 3 weeks.
I feel pretty terrible on a daily basis and was initially told they were going to send me for more camera work but they've now decided to wait a month. I guess I'm just freaking out a bit and worried if it is something bad like bowel cancer (or even Crohn's) that it will only get worse over that time.
My anxiety is through the roof
