Colonoscopy
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Turned 50 in June, now they want to do a colonoscopy for cancer screening, which isn't a bad idea since my mom just had 8" taken out for diverticulitis that ate thru the intestinal wall and cervical wall causing leakage into her vagina. She never had the S&S of diverticulitis but did know she had diverticulosis. One of my brothers has also had a bout with diverticulitis.

Random Vomiting
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Weird, but does anyone else just throw up randomly? Gross, sorry, but like clockwork this happens to me about once every two to three months. I'm not sick, just suddenly need to be sick. Very odd!

it was not too unpleasant. Mostly a nuisance cause it takes one full day out of commission.

Chronic Diarrhea
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been experiencing ongoing uncontrollable diarrhea. It comes out of nowhere. I just stand up and my bowels let go. It’s devastating. My gastroenterologist says it is due to my fibromyalgia. Apparently the nerves and muscles controlling my bowels aren’t working properly. Anyone else have this issue? Does wearing ‘Depends’ help control the mess?

From personal experience I'd go for being out of it, sleeping like a baby rather than trying to be brave. Just my thoughts and listening to other people's experiences. 😊 good luck

I'm Worried I Can't Stop My Weight Loss.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have IBS and fibro, and lately I've been losing weight almost daily and it's starting to annoy me because I'm finding myself losing weight when I don't want to and I'm actually starting to look unhealthy and sick. I've been carrying an extra 6-7kgs my whole life and I can't believe I'm at a point where I've lost them (over the last year) and I really don't want to lose weight anymore but it seems out of my control. Sometimes even when I eat a lot for a couple of days I'm still unable to… read more
