It got so bad for me that I would literally reach into the toilet and take my stool out to inspect it. I am aware of how absolutely ****** up that is, but that is how bad it got for me and where my mind was at. I was worried about shape and color. Huh, I forgot to put bowel cancer on my list. I had a colonoscopy last year that came back all clear. It turns out I was sick but with HA not bowel cancer.
Yeah, I havent scooped it out, but I have looked at it before. Trying to figure stuff out, did a stool sample at the age of 25 yesterday. Just nervous, had a bunch of different stuff, had a while where it was very soft, almost liquid, and yellowish, which made me worry about pancreatic stuff, I stopped taking my vitamins and supplements and it went back to a mostly normal brown color, but I noticed often those dark coffee flakes which can be a lot of things but also blood. Then tonight, after some days of normalcy lets just say once I got back from work where I was in and out of a vehicle for 10 hours shortly after dinner its very running and almost like a mixture of dark brown and green? Which causes my anxiety to spike again. Im glad you were okay though.
I mean for people that understand HA, it’s normal to do things like that. Things that the “average” person wouldn’t do. We aren’t judging you.
Doesn’t sound mad at all. HA makes us skip all of the benign reasons could be and we focus on the worst reason that we all fear. We go from 0-100 real fast.
I found not Googling symptoms has helped me. Ive made a pact with myself. NO GOOGLING SYMPTOMS
Thanks, but I am waaaay past caring if people judge me. I do appreciate the sentiment though.
It sounds like typical HA. What's the worst possible diagnosis? That's what I have. Much more likely to be something else? Well, this is the exception. We've all been there.
I agree with u. I also 100% believe that our death is already destined before we are born. So really there should be no anxiety.
I do that when I am on an episode about bowel disease; also collect urine in a glass and insert tampons to examine any traces. I check saliva, use cotton buds to check ears and nostrils. I don't check every orifice all the time, it is usually just one depending on the episode!
hey about the tailbone I have had same tailbone pain as well. I fell two years ago and thought I broke it. Turns out I misaligned it to the left. So now i have on and off pain and sciatica regularly. I went to a chiropractor who took x rays and found that I also had a pinched nerve. I find that walking and heat and Doing Stretches and work outs not putting pressure on my tailbone has been helping a lot. Just wanted to see if any of those things I’ve tried could help you.
Also I found that if I lower the inflammation throughout the whole body with eating foods that help with anti inflammatory it really makes a difference.Thanks for this! I have been doing stretches to no avail (although it feels good to get more flexibility in my pelvic floor more generally). I've been thinking about the anti-inflammatory thing recently. I drink a lot of espresso, and for a lot of people, like 30% of the population, coffee causes inflammation. So I've been thinking about cutting back on that and getting more into an anti-inflammatory diet.hey about the tailbone I have had same tailbone pain as well.

oh I understand I am a coffee addicted person as well. Upping my water has helped so much but I now have been getting nauseous just drinking water so thinking of trying to add more lemon to give it some flavor.
Sorry to hear that! My symptoms are a bit different. Mostly tailbone pain when I sit (but only at a certain angle), foot tingling/numbness, and more recently some lower back pain.
Yea sounds like yours is mostly tailbone with sciatica. But going to a chiropractor may help you with that.
