I'm suffering from pains in my left side,under rib-cage.waking most mornings 5.30 with the desire to pass stools.This can go on for an hour then I go to the toilet and its a rush,I'll be like that for most of the morning..as you can imagen I'm pretty exhausted by midday.I also feel sick and have stomach cramps with hot sweats.I've been experiencing pains in my ankles;also in my thumb joints (burning sensation)making it hard for me to do any activities.I use to be very fit,3times in the gym for 2hrs every week ,home improvements and run around like a 20yr old.
I started experiencing problems about five years ago(my left thumb felt sprained)
I had 2 colon and endoscophy through the NH. the last one I had was in april 2007 at the London hospital(privately)...nothing was found.I've recently took Chinese medicine and acupuncture,unfortunately the medicine made me sick and the acupuncture caused bruising of the body.I at my wits end,because the condition leaves me feeling weak and pretty miserable.Location for toilets is a must when I go out I have to watch most foods I eat.Weighing in at 7st 7lbs..feeling cold all the time!!!anybody having the same problems.
