Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the long post I'm about to do but I just feel I need to write it all down. First a little background. I am overweight and I have PCOS, I have had it for over 20 years and have had no medication for it and I have 3 children, all by c-section. About 5 years ago I started getting horrible pains in my lower pelvic area. I got admitted into hospital and a lot of test were done, they put it down to a bust cyst at the time and they also investigated my bowel too. Nothing was conclusive. I have this pain on and off since then and always put it down to PCOS. However, the middle of November the pain was so bad I took myself to the GP. He organised a lot of bloods and referred me for an ultrasound, which I am still waiting on. He dipped my urine then as I had been having the urge to go a lot more often, especially at night. My CA125 test came back at 20. All other bloods were fine. Fast forward to the week before Christmas and I thought I had a urine infection as I was in agony when I needed to pee and go to the toilet. I ended up taking 3 antibiotics and my urine came back clear from the lab. Went back to the docs because I was still in pain and starting to really get me down. He put me on stronger painkillers and gave me an antibiotic as he thought I may have Diverticulitis. I was feeling bloated, can only eat small amounts, decreased appetite, peeing constantly, went from being regular to constipated and my period had changed from very heavy and painful to painful and light! He was at a lose. I phoned the next day as I was in agony and he got me seen at the surgical assessment unit. They have now arranged a CT scan with contrast for this coming Monday and I have just had a blood test for celiac disease and I have also to do a QFIT test to check if there is any blood in my stool. They said it's a process of elimination just now. I am looking like I am 7/8 months pregnant when I stand up and it's hard to touch just above my belly button. Also the lightest I've been in years...which is a bonus but not how I wanted to loose it.
I'm just worried, and I am one of these people that likes to know everything about something so I can prepare mentally but still hope for the best.
Thank you for listening xx
