Crohns Disease

Do any of you suffer from multiple symptoms? I am dealing with the stomach issues such as severe lower stomach cramps with spending a lot of time in the bathroom. This happen at least two times a week. My bowels are alway thin ribbon like and actually burn when I am going. They usually end up being bloody after the third of fourth time going. I feel nauseaus, my legs tense up from the pain. and I feel exhaustion. But on top of the stomach issues, I also have so much body pain especially in my joints that I have thought for a long time I must have fibromyalgia, but the doctors are so slow in trying to diagnose any of these problems. I have also been dealing with anxiety and panic for the last fifteen years or so. Do crohns, ibs, anxiety, cronic fatigue or fibromyalgia sometimes go hand in hand of am I just complaining a lot?

If you have gone the route of western medicine and still haven't been given a diagnosis, let a lone a treatment plan, I would consider getting a workup done by a homepathic MD. While western medicine looks at you as a body full of parts with no correlation to one another, homeopathic medicine looks at the body as many part of a whole. I am in no way slamming our current medical system, but it does have flaws and I believe someone like you have fallen through the cracks in a matter of speaking. In addition I would start ASAP on a Crohn's diet, it is very restrictive, but you need to cleanse and start healing, processed foods are out, in the long run if it helps, wouldn't it at least be worth a shot?
