Hi ajk,

I'm sorry to hear about all of these symptoms and problems that you're having. But it sounds like you have some decent doctors who are running the tests they need to try and find an answer for you.

This site focuses on people who have been diagnosed with Inflammtory Bowel Disease (IBD), but your symptoms don't fit with those associated with IBD.

Continue to communicate with your doctors, even keep a daily log of how you feel and take it with you to your appointments. We all think we'll remember how we feel from day-to-day but it's not always that easy when sitting face-to-face with our physician. Plus, it can be helfpul for them to read your symptoms. BUT, keep things short and concise.

You may have something like Fibromyalgia, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since fatigue seems to be a major problem for you.

I hope they have figure this out and help you to feel better soon.

Cheers,

Elizabeth

I can totally relate with your symptoms! I tend to think like the other person who answered...I've had the same symptoms since January 2009 and now mid October still waiting for answers! I've had every test in the book, so far acid reflux and likely IBS, but I think that's a cop-out answer to the dreaded "I don't know". I see a fibromyalgia specialist and chronic fatigue is also a biggie. Most foods are now considered 'allergenic' or at least sensitivities. So eating has gotten quite boring. But it does help somewhat, though pain and nausea and more pain still ongoing! It's hard to function, but try to get further with this with a good doctor! Do a lot of self research (sounds like you already are) and keep going to get yourself diagnosed! I have a second colonoscopy scheduled for next week, the previous one was unsuccessful without a general anesthesiologist (result of the pain). Good luck!!!
