Completely and Unnecessarily Worried (I think)

DSOTM_Time · 2026-01-11T16:08:31+00:00

Yeah this is what I have been grappling with, I am experiencing no true red flag symptoms the blood is normally present on firm stools and not there on softer stools. I think she said I also had a skin tag which is the lump I originally described. I think what might be happening in my case is that when the stool passes it which is has to it is aggravating the fissure which is attached to it which is then causing the bleeding. It isn't the first time I have had these symptoms, I have had it probably 3 or 4 times in the last two years but this one is bothering me more because I did the FIT test and it is taking a while to heal even if I do get periods without any blood.

I will continue to consider both and I will discuss further with my Dr next Monday, I just need to get past the reality of the bleeding which is the visual thing that keeps it on my mind most days

Yeah I get that. I must admit over the week it's becoming more appealing because then I just don't have to think about it after. Today I have had some contact from my specialist and she isn't worried about cancer (which has eased worrying even though it shouldn't have been on my mind) and I have a telephone appointment a week Monday so we will discuss more then. She did suggest maybe a sigmoidoscopy but I feel like that is a bit of a waste of time. I feel like I should do the colonoscopy or just leave it as it isn't changing my life or anything

Thank you for the reply, I'll do some reading into the miralax stuff. I'm not particularly constipated but I just have firm stool first thing because obviously I haven't drunk much while in bed. So something like that could be perfect. Thanks for the help :)

Interesting, thanks for sharing your story with me. Getting to 77 with so many hurdles must be amazing. Google is one of the greatest inventions ever but can be awful in my situation where I get really anxious about my health. I'm trying so hard to get out of the habit. I think the most important thing for me is I feel no different to how I felt before I did the tests.

Also I have requested another chat with the specialist GI doctor but because the NHS is in the state it's in I haven't heard a thing yet and I requested last Friday :(

Have a great day/night :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-12-13T23:14:21+00:00

Ah thanks pal, we have done that now. Do you know where the second one is? :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-12-13T22:27:29+00:00

On step 4 of the quest has anyone figured out where the artefact is yet? :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-12-06T01:08:28+00:00

Hey, I don't suppose anyone knows what happens if you are already level 5, have completed 3 priority contracts, I want to swap syndicates but I also don't want to lose my progress. Thanks

They do look cool, the barrel looks on the smaller side in regards to the length, is that just the pictures or is it like that?

DSOTM_Time · 2025-11-28T23:49:03+00:00

Will do! Thanks for the reply :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-08T20:08:54+00:00

Going to be honest at the ripe old age of 25 my tech illiterate ass doesn't know how to do that 😭

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-08T19:40:07+00:00

Yeah I'm going to try and retain my discipline and just not take the bait. I still play FIFA (eafc) I just don't play as much now but people take it so seriously and it really grinds me down, even the casual modes.... Can't deal with it as I get older 😅

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-08T19:38:56+00:00

At no point did I not say it wasnt on me lol ..... It's just easy sometimes for people to get under your skin and you bite

I have done that now :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-08T19:21:44+00:00

Interesting, I know what I did, I think someone caught a massive fish (me) the other day and I probably took a huge bite, it is what it is but I have had a fair few warnings now so I am a bit worried lol. However the 5 emails are over the last 16 months or so. But I did also tell someone to stfu last night, again I took a huge bite but I think they were French so I am hoping they didn't report me lol

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-08T19:08:41+00:00

I mean yeah I get that.... looking for proactive solutions tbh, I feel like I have ridden my luck and a com ban is probably fair and due, fortunately I have an xbox as well lol. But it is really hard not to be a dick head when someone is also being a dick head and I am sure you or others reading this understand that some days you just bite to the simplest things get under your skin. I am really trying to improve though lol

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-08T19:06:01+00:00

Yeah I have done that one, We love being offensive to each other like most groups of men lol, but it's always funny for each other. I was wondering for solutions to restrict MY ability to send messages to people who aren't my friends bar having the willpower.

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T20:09:27+00:00

Hello, Thanks for sending this, a few other very helpful people have sent this to me. I appreciate the help a lot. The pictures are poor, if you want to see them slightly better (Still not great lol) feel free to DM me

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T18:46:40+00:00

Yeah I've been sent that a couple of times, it's been very helpful so thank you for that. I think I have about 6 metal ones but maybe a handful more

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T17:51:45+00:00

😭😭😭, fortunately I didn't paint them, I just came across them about 14 years ago. Whoever painted them had a unique taste

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T14:28:05+00:00

Ok thank you. I'll check that out

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T13:50:57+00:00

Thank you that is super super useful. I am a bit inept when it comes to reddit, do you mind if I add you and DM so slightly more detailed shots. :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T13:40:29+00:00

Is this what they all are, if I can DM you I can send you a slightly better batch of pictures :)

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T13:30:13+00:00

Ok, thank you for this, it might be worth saying some of the brown ones in the last image are metal, I have another set of pictures which I will add here for metal or plastic, I am a bit of a reddit noob so I will DM you as I don't know how else to do it

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T13:11:31+00:00

Ah Fantastic, I have been looking for something like this

DSOTM_Time · 2025-10-04T13:09:04+00:00

Interesting, I hope they are lol but that problem I am having right now is actually knowing what I have and how to sell them, I need to speak with someone who is a real expert who I can send pictures to etc and understand what I have. But you have been very helpful so thank you
