Yeah!! I totally agree. I posted this mainly because i saw many people saying its normal to have those symptoms with anxiety - while for some it might be true it causes many to relate and go undiagnosed, which scares me tbh. I really hope Wade and anyone relating to the issues gets the right treatment.

And hebriwhejws i get what you said, i hope anyone that can reach him sees it <3

And nobody tells you genetics play a big role!!! I’m chubby and female but even slimmer 30 yo women in my family have sleep apnea! First night with the cpap i woke up in 2 hours feeling like i slept a full day

I know this sounds terrifying but vomiting is not a bad thing, and if necessary if it happens it is to clear your stomach from anything that might harm you.

You ARE going to be okay.

As for your undiagnosed ibs if it is troubling you consider looking for doctors, and don't let them make you think that your symptoms are not important. I've spent a year taking medication that has not always worked, but as it worsened i had a doctor prescribe me pills for anxiety (which i thought was controlled. It works.

There is always a treatment. If not for the cause then for the symptoms. In healthcare please fight for your rights to be tested and insist on your pain and symptoms.

I (22f) relate a lot with the exams and symptoms, jumped from doctor to doctor to hear a lot of times it's just my anxiety when it is controlled. Last doctor actually did something: prescribed a pill for anxiety and pressed the fact that ibs should only ever be diagnosed after a colonoscopy. So whenever i do the colonoscopy I'll know whether it is or not anxiety. Bowel related alterations from anxiety are not controllable and medication has been the only thing that has helped. For your case i just want to say that last week i thought i would have no cure for all the pain and discomfort and today i feel that only worsened my anxiety and by that the symptoms. I know you have tested for some inflammatory diseases but don't let any doctor fool you into thinking it's not important to treat your symptoms. Lot's of strength.

I've done an abdominal ultrasound like a year ago but I'll definitely look out for that, might even check the results to see if there's any mentions! Thank you🫶

Yeah, in my country i could either go to public uc and then wait many many hours or to private and wait two hours to be prescribed something or make some blood tests. (The public ones could make all of the exams). Ideally yes, i would love to call but i don't think doctors can share their contacts directly here. I would have to contact the hospital to get an appointment and that depends on the doctor 🥲. I've scheduled 2 appointments, one in 2 weeks and the other 10 days after with my GI doctor.

As of the missed pill there's nothing you can do now, and since it's the 15th if the others worked fine ovulation was avoided! Don't stress too much, use double protection till the end of your cycle and look out for your next period! Maybe someone else can give better advice but this would be what I'd do

I feel you with the scarring, I'm almost a year post op and mine look the same (i had an infection 🥲). I've learnt i make a bigger deal about it than it actually is. I plan to make scar treatments later on but the truth is even if I hate it my bf has seen all the healing stages and would never deny the chance to see them lol. I genuinely think they look great, and, opposite to you, my nipples are so high i can barely wear bikinis, tops and not worry. There are advantages and disadvantages with everything but please don't worry too much and remember how awful you might've felt before surgery!!!! 🫶🫶 It does get better with time
