Need some advice
Hi guys, sorry I've not been here in ages!
Basically the past few months or so I'd be struggling with stress/depression wasn't sure which and developed symptoms similar to IBS however I didn't make the connection between the two.
I went to the doctors Friday just gone as I was getting a bit worried I was still feeling low and generally just rotten. The doctor diagnosed me with stress and mild depression but I didn't mention my stomach problems. He didn't sign me off work but he said to go back if it got too much.
Yesterday (Sunday) I had crippling stomach pains that seemed like appendicitis but luckily after spending hours on the phone to various nurses in the NHS they felt it was just a dodgy stomach bug and said to just rest.
I feel a bit better today but have had to phone in sick for work. However I'm still having the IBS like symptoms and it's very uncomfortable.
So basically my question is this... is it worth me going back to the doctor tomorrow and tell him about my stomach problems? The thought of going back to work tomorrow is stressing me and making me anxious but I feel stupid telling the doctor that I simply can't cope. What would you guys do? I just need some advice really. Thanks
