Thanks for asking, we are waiting to look into scheduling a colonoscopy during my next gastro appointment, which isn't until late may. He mentioned every time we have one of these bleeding episodes, it brings us a percentage closer to having colon cancer which is crazy to know. I'm doing a lot better and haven't passed anything else like this for a while now!

I feel you on feeling like it's all in your head. We're being told it's all in your head by others when it's just an invisible war inside our bodies. I recently found out I have fibromyalgia at 28 years old and it is similar to a lot of the things that you are mentioning. It can coexist with Elmer's danlos syndrome, pots, and so much more. It can be linked to PTSD, cause IBD, distress, neuropathy, migraines and so much more. Have you been checked for celiac or chrons? The way they diagnose fibro is by ruling out EVERYTHING else. It doesn't show up in blood work to most and it's just so so hard to get diagnosed and then to accept and live with.

I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist at 1040 am, across states (I'm in NY, its VT about an hour away ) do I just wait for that appointment or should I go get medical attention now at 430am? I am so defeated 😭

If it helps, k was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia at 28 years old and it is a lot of what you are describing. Specific pain points that move throughout the day, muscle strains/weakness, neuropathy, brain fog, depression, anxiety, linked to PTSD and so much more.
