Hey Bullycat, yea my bloods always come back normal. Even though other tests show inflamation and active disease. I have changed my GP, but he has told me that he does not think another GI would look at me because my case is so complex..... But I am going into hospital for a few days this week for more tests so hopefully they will get to the bottom of this and sort me out. How is your son now? Hope he is better!!
Cheers

Hey alex, Have you had a white cell scan? Its where they take some blood, remove the red cells(leave the white cells) and then put the blood back into you. They then scan you about 4 hours later, the white cells attach to the inflammed areas and this shows up on the ct scan.

My consultant and IBD nurse have told me that I ought to go to A&E if I start bleeding. It needs proper investigations and should never be ignored. I think some of the docs need to come on here and read this! It is too long to be so unwell. Let us know how you are, J

hmmm so i should ask for a white cell scan and also a ct scan? ill probably be laughed away because those things cost time and money. have you guys read about stafford hospita? its my local hospital might tlk to gp about having these things at another hospital, i have a colonoscopy coming soon (i hope) so that should show alot of whats going on.

Hi, everyone.
Can somebody help please. I want to post a new thread but have no idea how. Have done this before but a long time ago and don't remember how.

I'm so sorry for asking this on this thread, but have no idea where else to write this.


Thanks and Regards

Oldbird - you need to go to the subject area ('personal report', 'medication' etc) then hit the New Thread button.
