I'm currently having tests as I've had ongoing symptoms for several months now, started off with stomach cramp, no appetite, nausea and a bad taste in my mouth/acid reflux, then about a month ago I began feeling really exhausted all the time despite getting lots of sleep. I'm also experiencing bloating and near continuous back/joint pain.
I've had an endoscopy, several stool samples and blood tests and the only thing that has flagged so far was low ferritin levels. I'm currently waiting for an abdominal ultrasound and trying hard not to google anything, but the more they don't find answers the more my brain is filling in the gaps.
I know there's something wrong in my body, I just don't know what it is yet.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get through the waiting times for tests/results? I don't want to talk to family too much as they'll worry, but I'm struggling to think about anything else day to day.
