I I don't want a condition or disease, i just want to be me again!!! I have been reading your posts for a few days now, after a friend recommended the site. I'm hoping someone out there may be able to relate to what im going through or have any advice. It been nearly a year since i started to notice things were not right. It started with bowel problems (a lovely place to start) and having never had problems before it completely came out of the blue. For six months the doctor perscribed many different laxatives, put me on different diets, told me to avoid certain foods but it just wouldn't go away. I was battling pain on and off in my left side and leg and the frequent need to urinate, this was put down to my stomach problems and told it would go away but take painkillers .During this time there were many trips back and fourth to the doctors untill finally the doctor said i'm sending you for a scan of your stomach. The scan showed overloading but they couldn't understand why as there was nothing physically blocking it. I battled on for another month before the doctor referred me to a specialist. The specialist perscribed prucalopride and sent me on my merry way. Then the nausea started, it was so bad that at times it was making me physically sick and also felt as though someone was squeezing me (like a balloon about to pop).
