I would like to apologise for my threads lately (NSFW)

NAS71232

I've been very ill and I have to sleep all the time. My barrett's oesophagus has been burning 24/7. 

I got a phone call from my local hospital regarding my next endoscopy date, so I'm expecting a lettter soon.

Lately, I have gone to brush my teeth and before doing so, have found that my spit is always red. I have a metallic taste in my mouth all the time when I'm awake. 

I should book an appointment with my GP, but there isn't a point, as I might as well just wait for the endoscopy and get the update on it.

There is nothing my GP can do in the meantime. My left quadrant feels like it's going to burst when I drink water. I'm dreading the colostomy bag.

Sorry for having meltdowns on a public forum. Bad show all round.

I will just be quiet now and do what the hospital advises. I kind of know the outcome already. They said not to worry if it has turned to cancer as they can just change my treatment.

God speed to you all <3

  • Firstly, I don't feel that you have anything to apologise for. This an autism forum after all, and we're here for each other through good and bad times, and everything in between.

    As someone who also has Barrett's, I'd encourage you to get urgent medical advice now in view of your change in symptoms, rather than just waiting for your endoscopy:
