New to this subbreddit but a year and a half with Pi-IBS and BAM.

Did a longer ra t in r/ibs.

I'm genuinely at the brink. Neither my mind but body can take much more.

My gastro aporentky never even prescribed me with bile acid sequants, now he has aldo ghosted me as is unreachable.

My Pi-IBS is moderately healing, my BAM however, nope, its gotten much much worse. Now every single bm is acid, my hyper sensitivity is dialed way up, and I cant barely managed to leave my bed, let alone make it into colledge. Not that, I have a medical letter of exemption or anything (cos again, no gastro all of a sudden).

Iev mad eye it this far, but I acnt take much more of surviving and not living.

Oh and a fun addition, due to the severity of mine, my pain scale is usually 8-9/10. Yay.

To give some context, this year ive spent most of it very sick and the illness has taken alot from me.

Due to how sick I was, I royally fucked the Lc. Had soo much brain fog and fatigue I coukd barely rember my name during the exams.

I'm not 100% better and still somewhat struggle on a day to day basis, but I can finally start living again.

Anyway, I fucked the exam and only got like 220 points, didnt get any CAO offers.

Ive tried to apply for a PLC course in Cork, for Enguneering technology and had to buy acomidatioj before hearing back as accomidation ran out swiftly.

Ive now heard that the plc course has 50 applicants for 12 spots, so let's be honest here, I'm not getting that spot.

At this point I feel like all hope is gone. The other plc courses I applied, I didnt even hear back from.

If I dint get education of at ekast plc level, thsi year, I loose my medical insurance.

I dint know what to do

Especially yall who can't sleep rn.

A reminder, if you don't wanna do it near others, thats totally up to you. I small be opening mine at ab 11am up at the hill of Tara, heading up in the bike to clear my head before abd after. Take it easy.

Just finished my third Leaving cert exam and ab to do my fourth. Ive had rlly bad Pi-Ibs for 10 months at this point. But if back and forth, sorta 2 steps up one step back kinda thing.

I applyed for extra time thingy during my exams, wasn't accepted because my condition "wasn't serious enough" despite blacking out for 10/10 pain in a regular basis. Well, I'm ive officially made it unassisted with only one mild med once a day, through half my exams.

Considering stress was the only trigger anyone could find, other than drinking coffee and energy drinks, and considering rn I'm basically living off fatty foods, energy drinks, limited sleep and high stress, ive only had one super minor flare, and that was at night ladt night, otherwise been totally fine.

Ik stress can lock down your gut, but so far bever has a shitty situation gone tjis well for me. Im extactic, even if id like to be doing better in the lc, I'm doing my best and ive fough hard to be here today.

Post colonscapy (update on that coming soon) was i credibly rough. Its now been about 4 weeks dove the colonoscapy and my Pi- ibs had changed entirely. From ibs-D to IBS-C, I'm now constipated, gassy, bloated and tired all the time.

Belive me, this is a good thing for me. I much rather being constipated than having diarreha so day every day.

My doctor finally diagnosed me (kinda). With acute BAM and PI-IBS. But since the colomoscapy, ive been passing straight bile acid maybe every 4 days no noticeable triggers. Many more bathroom visits, just obit for a few secs this time around, abd searing insides, yay.

Had a dual scope endoscapya nd colonoscapy today (wed). Had a major flare up on monday and Tuesday, one of the worst I've ever had, passed out on a public bathriolnnear my school from the pain, then essentially crawled home, for another 1.5hr bus home, had an even worse event at home, passed out in teh shower again form pain, ye.

Wednesday had the scope, naturally the endoscapy sucked, and I have issues with sa so the colonscao wasn't fun being awake for, obit lasted 5 minutes into the colonoscapy before the pain got so bad that I couldn't go on, and they knocked me tf out.

Woke up and was I'll for a few hours.

As of rn (03.38am on my birthday) I'm srill awake in agony, there is no position i fondncimfortabkr, my belly and asshole hurts to fuck (maybe due to the 22 biopsies they took). Nothing helps, no space in the pain, obit managed to sleoe for 20 minutes.

And despite the prep fucking ruining me, I'm now shitting liquid acid despite only having ahd a peice of toast, and passing a lot of blood (which I've been told is "ok") I'm in soo fucking much oain and yet no results of the colonoscaoy.

Half of me wanted it to be a mass or smth so they coukd treat it.

Seriously can't take this much more.
