So this is an update on my last post and it is to see if anyone has gone through anything similar. I am still losing hair and sleeping alot (15 hours+ a day) but my doctor ran lab work and it all came out fine ( my calcium was a little high but nothing to be concerned with). So last week I got a stabbing brace yourself kind of pain in my rectum. The pain would last about 15min at a time then I would pass out. That happened all day then at 11pm that night it happened again but I passed out then started seizing and when I came to I couldn't remember anything. So my husband took me to the ER. The ER told me I didn't have had a heart attack and that I came in too late to tell if it was a stroke and to just go see my gastroenterologist as soon as I could get in. So when I went to the GI doctor she was so concerned that I haven't been pooping every day and that when I did pooping ( I poop anywhere form every 2 weeks to once a month) lots of blood would come out until I closed my anus. My poop is also black. I have bad heartburn it causes pain in my chest ribs and back. I also lost all my appetite I am forcing myself to eat dinner everyday even though I'm not hungry. I will randomly gain 20lbs then loose it with in a week or so. My gastroenterologist wants me to have a Cat scan from my chest all the way down to my pelvis. She always wants me to have a colonoscopy and EGD. Has this ever happened to anyone and what should I do?

I’ve never had that specifically happen, have had rectal bleeding though, albeit caused by hemorrhoids. If you’ve never done a colonoscopy before it can be daunting the first time- the night before is always the worst. They make you drink this stuff that “clears you out” (think Taco Bell but worse lol. You have to stay next to the potty all day) and the drink itself if so nasty. My advice would be to put it in the fridge for a couple hours and then drink it with a straw, it makes it less nasty and easier to drink faster. The colonoscopy itself isn’t painful at all, you’ll be asleep. The most that’s happened to me is sometimes after being put under when I wake up I’m like kinda dizzy but it goes away. It also makes you have real bad farts cause they fill you up with air to look. Lol! but good luck. Idk if any of this helps but I wish you the best
