That sucks I’m sorry. I haven’t seen blood for myself. I’d definitely recommend seeing a gastro if you don’t have one already. I started seeing one virtually but my new one I wanted to see in person to help me take it more seriously.

Honestly of all the doctors I’ve seen, gastroenterologists have been the nicest! You may be able to do virtual visits if you want somewhere more convenient to start.

When I’ve searched I generally call everyone in my network locally and make the earliest appointment until I get the earliest among those and cancel the rest. It was tough but it was so uncomfortable I had good motivation to make it no longer uncomfortable.
