I am going through a lot personally right now and at times get very scared bc I don't know for sure exactly what is going on with me. I'm waiting to have colonoscopy/scope in Dec. The pain is so bad at times I don't want to get up or live anymore. My mom has basically disowned me due to some personal iassues, which I don't have many people to talk to about it. My partner is threatening to leave me, if things don't change. I feel they want to get back with their ex, but i'm not sure. They say they want to work it out with me, but I'm really not sure. I'm having the worst pain today with my stomach, lose stool and very low energy and not sleeping well either lately. Is it normal to have chest pain/joint pain with colitis, just curioius because I'm having chest pain and severe stomach apin today and don't know what to do. Any help/advice would be appreciated!!
Thank you,
