Hi all,
I am new here, I am a 30 year old male with Austism, osteoarthritis and dehydrated disc disease.
Back in April I had stroke like symptoms and was taken to hospital via ambulance, nothing was found wrong at A&E and left without knowing what happened. this has happened again a few times since and have also gained a tremor in my right hand along with weakness in my right leg.
I have also been experiencing irregular bowel movements. some days I will have no bowel movements and other days I will have multiple diarrhoea movements.
I will also add that I have been feeling a loss of appetite and lack of interest in food, but have persisted in ensuring I am still eating regularly as normal. But have lost over a stone in weight since May.
fast forward to August, my GP done a lot of blood tests which all came back as sufficient or normal, they also carried out a FIT which was positive.
I had a failed colonoscopy a week which has left me traumatised and feeling very low due to how I was treated and my experience.
I now have a CT colonoscopy booked for next Tuesday and have been struggling a lot mentally since my GP referred me and in a constant feeling of helplessness and confusion.
if you have read this far, thank you for taking the time as I know I have a tendency to waffle (or so I am told) and I am unsure what I plan on gaining from this post, but I guess if anyone has had similar experiences/symptoms and what the outcome was or if anyone is currently going through and feeling the same.
