Most of my life I had to deal with diarrhea on & off, but it started to really impact my life when I entered High school. It caused me to miss alot of school, and I had to go almost 3 years unemployed because I just felt sick all the time. ( I have had other symptoms all my life, such as severe neck pains, and random other pain in all my joints...) Last year they did some different tests... the one that really showed something was the barium & swallow test (swallow thick white stuff & they take x-rays..) It showed a blockage, so they did an endoscope. They diagnosed me with SMA syndrome. (Superior mesenteric Artery syndrome) About a month later I had a bypass surgery. A bout a month or so later, I felt ill, and started vomiting after eating for a few days before I was re-admitted to the hospital. They did a few more x-rays and things and decided they needed to send me to a bigger hospital where I could see a specialist for bowl problems... It took them a few weeks to figure out The first surgery was apparently a mistake & it had caused another blockage. So then I had another surgery, same spot. Since then I have still felt ill quite often and am still struggling with diarrhea and feeling nautious all the time. It feel like once again it is taking over my life. In the last few days I have had a sharp pain in my lower back, left side, random pain spasms all over my body, extreamly back neck/shoulder pain, constant headache, Hot & cold spells, and nausia. Im not sure whether these may just be symptoms of a bug or flu or something, or whether it may be related to my general health? I have been eating super healthy for a while now, hopeing that would help, and seeing a natropath to help guide me... it just feels like I have been through so much, and it hasnt helped at all. Im just not entirely sure what to do anymore...
