Hi! Struggled with IBD symptoms for nearly a year now and getting tests and results is taking so long. Feeling very fed up and exhausted, work absences at all time high with no sympathy from manager or colleagues. Has anyone else had similar experiences in trying to get a diagnosis? Or people not believing/caring that youâre unwell?
đ iâm the same. experienced Crohnâs symptoms for coming up to two years, went to the doctors earlier this year for blood/stool test and theyâre claiming nothingâs come back from either of them (i donât believe that, and theyâre not letting me see the results). i know somethingâs wrong with me, thatâs the whole reason iâm going to them. when i listed my symptoms to them, they quoted âyour symptoms arenât serious enough for us to do anythingâ. Exactly what a woman with stomach pains and such wants to hear! Iâve also got no support/sympathy from anyone so I totally get that. Feel free to message me any time. â¤ď¸
