Hi, new here, Ive seen quite a few posts here which are a carbon copy of my issues.
Id really appreciate it if anyone with similar would reply, this will help me when next visiting my GP (Ill be printing the thread out and taking along with me)
1. I cannot smell anything but since I started working in offices 15 years ago Ive received very unsubtle and unrequested feedback from others regarding fecal smell
2. This has gotten worse with every year to the point it is now really really severe and Ive now had to give up work
3. My close family and girlfriend cant smell anything which suggests to me in a safe environment this is less of an issue
4. What I suffer from is not wind or flatulence in the usual sense (I get enough of that to know the difference)
5. When my LG is bad I can feel heat come from the anus, I can feel it on my legs when wearing trousers
6. Every doctor and colorectal medical professional I have seen has dismissed what I am saying (apparently people are winding me up, but I must say I havent found 15 years of bullying and harassment terribly amusing)
7. My LG is far worse when sitting down (especially for long periods)
8. My LG is often very bad after going to the toilet with a complete evacuation... almost like emptying is a bad thing. Historically I was diagnosed with Anismus and struggled to go, but these days Im going 3 times a day usually
9. Im wondering how much if this is now psychological due to 15 years down the rabbit hole of insults, harassment etc. Of course there is some element of paranoia that manifests from this, but it doesnt mean the problem isnt real!
10. Ive tried everything from biofeedback to VSL-3, nothing works so far
Please could anyone who is or has suffered from similar please reply on this thread - it would be much appreciated (maybe say out of the 10 points how many were applicable to you)
To everyone else in the same boat, I feel your pain, chin up
