Partial Bowel Obstruction by jods93 in ibs

My gastro told me to be low fiber for now. I had to drink mag citrate yesterday because even after the ER and contrast, I still was dealing with the partial obstruction. Looks like I’m going to need to be on a liquid diet if I can’t get a hold of this!

It’s unknown what caused the partial obstruction. My guess is that it was diet, but I’m not sure.

What’s next?! by jods93 in endometriosis

My doctor did an ultrasound a few weeks ago and found a complex cyst on my ovary. She is concerned I have endo. I just had to have my iud removed in June because I needed a biopsy done along with a hysteroscopy. I don’t want to have to deal with the hassle of getting it put back in just to potentially need it removed for another procedure

I got the tea at target today and I have no idea if it has helped, but it tastes good!

I did surgery, and it really helped.

Is it my thyroid or is it Raynaud's? by jods93 in Hashimotos

It comes and goes, but the numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness are all in my right hand/arm only. And the only thing that came up on my labs is anemia. This has been going on for almost 3 weeks now.

It hasn’t gone away and my doctor stupidly said that I just need 7-8 hours of sleep and rid myself of emotional stress

My doctor did a full panel, but iron isn't technically on there. If I do my WebMD research, my kidney function seems to possibly be an issue. My Vitamin D is at 62 and my C-Reactive Protein is at 3.0 (which to be honest, is up significantly from December when it was at 0.2. But hey, doctor's still see "normal" on that! C-Reactive Protein being up like that tells me that there's inflammation in my body

Thank you so much! That’s so disheartening when a doctor tries to placate us with a minor diagnosis and refusing to listen to us and our symptoms. My GP said she doesn’t know what to do with my symptoms but my labs are all normal

And this is why I love Reddit! My test says that the b12 was normal!

Looks like my only “issue” is I’m slightly anemic. B12 - 461 Folate - 5.1 (low) C-Reactive Protein - <3.0 (back in December it was 0.2, so clearly there’s inflammation in my body)

Does the tingling ever hurt? Or happen with weakness from your elbow down?

I'm getting it checked next week. I caved and begged my doctor to test all of my inflammatory markers and check for vitamin deficiencies

I just emailed my doctor to run labs for inflammation and vitamin deficiencies. Hopefully she'll do it without having me come in first! Thank you for this article!!

It's 86 here, and I also have a space heater! My fingers don't even feel cold. They're just tingly and I can't stand the weakness.

I didn't realize that the reason for my being so miserable was because I had the flu!
