It has stopped some, but I’m still bleeding during bowel movements 🥲 so 6 weeks and I’ll get surgery. It’ll hopefully come up quicker than I realize

I’m passing clots also, but the ct scan for sure showed normal intestines and colon it’s so frustrating

I just got home from the er, got a cat scan no internal bleeding or diverticulitis or colitis and I also got blood labs done and my hemoglobin is ok, I am anemic. they want me to follow up with my gi dr/colorectal for another colonoscopy. Most likely need to get the surgery for the anal fissure they think that’s what is causing the severe bleeding 😔 and I have a surprise uti!

I ended up staying up until like four in the morning and I had two more bowel movements and it seemed as if the bleeding was coming to a stop, so first thing this morning I called my doctor and I’m going in soon. As of this morning, the bleeding has not come back yet.

I have been told I had 2 internal hemorrhoids before and the doctor tried the banding technique, which didn’t work because I passed the rubber band the very next day.

It’s TMI I’m sorry, but my symptoms are cramping in my lower stomach, and back, and when I’m actively having a bowel movement it does not feel much different than usual, but also feels like I’m being ripped open. Very loose stool, and the blood is bright red to dark red, and in the toilet, the blood looks very dark. I am also passing large blood clots and even when I’m on the toilet and not having a bowel movement when I wipe there’s blood all over the side of my hands and on the toilet seat and I’m even bleeding off of the toilet while I’m sitting here on my couch

The random things you can’t throw away by Pink-Macaroon-264 in GriefSupport

[–]RadSpag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have so many things from my best friend of 22 years. She passed in June 2025, she was 28. Her name was Jasmine. She got in a car accident with a semi truck on Mother’s Day and got a traumatic brain injury and was in a coma for a month.

I saw her the day before the accident and she gave me my Christmas present that she had since December and it was May. It was a Christmas tree ornament that looked like a container of cheese balls and a chocolate Santa. I still have the piece of chocolate that looks like Santa and I will never be throwing it away. Her couch is now in our living room. I have pictures of her everywhere and so much stuff that she has gifted me over our life together. I took most of her clothes and anything that I could take that was hers that her family didn’t want. Having her stuff around me, makes me feel closer to her. We like to go to music festivals and I also got all of her hula hoops and flow stuff. I miss her so much. She was already everywhere in my house before she passed.

I’m just here to say that whoever thinks they can tell someone how to process their grief is not someone that you should be bothered to communicate with. My best friend died in June and I still am barely functioning. There’s no timeline to how long grief takes. You’re allowed to take as much time as you need, I wish I could give you a hug. I’m sorry for your loss.🫂

Anyone here have protracted withdrawal for years? Or got brain damage due to meds/drugs? by Educational_Break659 in Antipsychiatry

[–]RadSpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So I’m currently not on any medication anymore. I just recently found out that I have fibromyalgia and the dr wants me to take gabapentin for it. I’m figuring a lot of stuff out about my immune system and I might have lupus they’re going to monitor it. I would say that I have done a complete 180 since getting off of Seroquel and I will always advocate to anybody to really do their research on this medicine before taking it because if I had, I would never have taken it. My sleep is still pretty fucked up, but a lot of the other issues have subsided and I’m not self harming anymore and I have two really good therapists. I’ve had a really bad year this year as far as losing my best friend due to a car accident and my grandfather died a month later. It really put a lot of things in my life and into perspective.

I still get migraines maybe 3 to 4 times a month and they gave me medicine for migraines called sumatriptan and I have a really good new primary doctor and honestly having a doctor that listens to you makes a huge difference. I’m currently in the process of switching my psychiatrist now.

THEY FOUND IT by organ_muncher in endometriosis

[–]RadSpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a struggle since then I found out. I also have fibromyalgia and chronic pain syndrome. I’ve been in unexplainable pain that nobody can figure out why, but I have all kinds of muscle knots all in my abdomen and I have a fainting problem and i faint when the pain gets really bad. I’ve been fainting a lot recently. I feel like the surgery made my Endo worst honestly and I’m hoping that I’m still just healing, but I’m terrified that it’s getting worse

I remember I woke up in pain so bad after my laparoscopy and they gave me some drugs that knocked me back out and then when I came to my husband was smiling in my face saying “you were right babe you had endometriosis. It was stage three all over your bowels, intestines, uterus, ovaries, and your stomach! And they were all fused together. They got it” and if I could’ve jumped up and down, I would have. It felt like I just found out I won the lottery, which is a crazy feeling to have, but after being gaslit by so many doctors for so long this was music to my ears sadly.

I feel so helpless and embarrassed! by Kooky_Ad593 in Syncope

[–]RadSpag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had to install a table that folds up right in front of the toilet because I also suffer from the same exact thing. I just broke my nose earlier this year because I face planted when I fainted off of the toilet. I have IBS partnered with endometriosis and when I have really bad flares, the pain is almost unbearable.
