I’m currently at the hospital because no matter what I keep being in pain every single day. I had a gastro and colonscopy done in March and they said I only have “mild gastritis” that is apparently negligible & shouldn’t cause pain.
They checked my blood and I have extremely low iron and lack of vitamin d (even though i take supplements), which makes me wonder whether my body has a hard time absorbing it.
I also had an ultrasound done and it looked ok apparently.
Yesterday the doctor came in and made me feel really dumb & as if I was wasting her time. She said my brain interprets “normal movements of the stomach and intestines” as painful but actually there is no reason for the pain.
I asked her about doing a breath test for SIBO and she said no need to do a breath test and just prescribed me rifamixine without knowing whether I actually have it.
I asked her what she recommended me to do and she said “psychotherapy” lol
Btw i’ve been under psychiatric care for many years and I’ve tried various different medications and types of therapy
I’m even doing Ketamine infusions to help with anxiety and ptsd
But NOTHING is changing my constant stomach pains. I never get a break. No matter what, even on “chill” days I still feel pain. I have barely any save foods that i know I can eat without pain.
And yes i’m stressed!! But because i’m in so much pain all the time. I try very hard to be more relaxed to help with healing but I’ve literally given up hope.
Also I’m tired of medical personnel ridiculing me :(
