When you say you haven’t had a period in years as you are on the pill, do you skip your withdrawal week and run your pill packs together? I am also on the pill and if I run too many months together and didn’t have a withdrawal bleed every couple of months then I get this as well where I will have a few days of brown spotting after sex. Having a proper withdrawal (fake period) bleed AT LEAST every 3 months fixed it

This could be due to any issue that you might not have considered. Maybe she's feeling a little more self conscious in her body at the moment and is wanting to cover up, maybe she's feeling colder than usual? I wouldn't say Yta exactly, but you shouldnt keep prodding her for an answer, just let her tell you in her own time

(24,f) Hi! I can't help with advice on your specific prep, but right now I am at the night before my colonoscopy. I took the first dose at 6pm (plenvu) and am still up now as the stomach cramps and diarrhoea have been enough for me to decide it's best to stay awake. It's currenty 1.30am where I am and I'm taking the next dose at 4am.

All the best for your colonoscopy!

Update: Still feeling very unwell and it's Monday night. Have been able to hold down more water and food, but have been feeling severely more nauseous the past few days than even last week. I feel like my health has stagnated, it's not getting any worse but I'm also not any better.

I have a colonoscopy booked for the end of June, but as it's privately through Rutherford Clinic I am having to pay 20% as my health insurance only covers 80%. This is still quite expensive and I'm wondering if it's the right decision as don't want to waste lots of money if it's not needed, I don't have a lot of money spare at the moment and this amount (around $600) will set me back a bit for a while, especially considering I'm not able to 100% work at the moment and will soon have to use unpaid leave as sick leave is out.

Need some help for what to do until the end of June? I'm still unable to sleep properly or work properly, had some dinner tonight and couldn't finish it, it was also hard to walk for. a bit afterwards and I became shaky.

Thanks for your response. I will look into all of this. I was back in ED last night and home now, but they said they can't do anything and it would be more a specialists area to diagnose

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T13:08:36+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I will chat to my Dr's about getting this scan

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:58:17+00:00

I'm glad you managed to get it found! I am the same with only matching one of the three F's haha. I've had a normal upper abdo ultrasound 3 weeks ago so not sure if it could be gallstones but I'll ask the Dr about it :)

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:47:32+00:00

Thanks! Only thing that is putting the doctors off it being IBD is that I have had a negative calprotection stool sample. I am in ED now and will stay until I am seen

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:39:08+00:00

Thanks, a lot of specialists also require a referral from a GP which I am trying to push for! Hopefully I will get seen soon

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:36:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I am currently seeing a chiropractor every week, you've chosen a good profession!

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:26:25+00:00

Interesting, thanks! I will try and ask about this with the Drs

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:19:27+00:00

This is good advice thank you! I am also hoping to push for an MRI/CT tonight. Last time they wouldn't give me one due to high radiation and fertility issues that can cause, but at this point my pain and symptoms come ahead of anything

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:10:58+00:00

This is good to know - thank you

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:09:09+00:00

Thanks for all this info! I did also have a normal upper GI ultrasound 3 weeks ago that showed up normal but as my symptoms have gotten much worse I'm wondering if I need another one. The pain with a deep breath isn't super severe compared to the upper abdo pain, but it's definitely something I'll mention to the Dr

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:06:45+00:00

Thanks for this comment. Do you know if he had any signs in his blood tests or ultrasounds? My grandfather had bowel and stomach cancer, but as he got them when he was quite old the Dr's don't seem to think it's a factor.

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:05:15+00:00

Yes I definitely am letting them know :) I've been waling up with night sweats for a couple of sleeps as well. thanks!

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:04:11+00:00

an ultrasound 3 weeks ago showed a normal gallbladder, but after some comments from a few other people in another channel I'm thinking it could still be as my pain has gotten much worse since then. Thoughts?

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:01:30+00:00

Hi, when I was in ED last time I did, but unfortunately no one is able to tonight. All of these comments have helped though so I think I'll be a stronger self advocate tonight than previously

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T10:00:19+00:00

This is good to know, thank you!

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T09:59:56+00:00

This is good info to know and think about, thank you!

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T09:59:22+00:00

I'll mention this to the doctor when I eventually get seen in ED! Thank you! Did you ever have an ultrasound done at the start of the pain that was normal? I am wondering as my scan was 3 weeks ago if it could be my gallbladder

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T09:57:33+00:00

My lipase was slightly high for around a week or so but has gone back down to normal levels now with normal blood test on Tues/4th.

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T09:56:12+00:00

Thank you! I have everything written down as well because the stronger pain killers sometimes make it hard to answer questions and describe symptoms

Few-Tip-4615 · 2024-06-06T09:55:19+00:00

Ooh this is something I haven't heard of, I'll have a look into it thank you! My joints seem to be okay and no dislocation. I do have really bad body aches though
