I am a 40 year old female I am slightly over weight, walk 1 - 2 miles daily and have changed my diet recently to try to lose some extra pounds that have seemed to stay with me forever. Anyway, I have been having lower left abdominal discomfort for a few weeks now.
On this past monday (4/23/2007) after my morning shower I was bleeding like a normal cycle, which is impossible for me since I had a complete hysterectomy in September of 1996. I had endometriosis and cycts on my overies that they had to take everything out. I still have my cervix due to alot of scar tissue from the endometriosis and the possible damage to my bowels if they had removed it.
Since then I have noticed I have afternoon/evening bloating, constant abdominal discomfort mainly on the lower left side, fatigue starting in late morning early afternoon, mild to moderate headaches, the longer I sit in one place my lower back to hip area become very irritable and I have to move.
Also a couple of times in the past 30 days I have been awakened in the middle of the night with very bad stomach cramps and having to potty. Each time it was like I had not pottied in days, which was not the case - I potty regulary 2 - 3 times daily, but I got so sick to my stomach that I end up throwing up. Thankfully I had plastic bags in my bathroom because I did not have time to get off the toilet before throwing up.
Now that I you all know me inside and out can anyone please tell me what is happening to me? My medical coverage does not start till June 1 of this year so I am stuck not going to the MD till then.
4/30/2007 - Today I went to my MD, he is currently doing 15 different blood and urine tests. I will know more on Thursday afternoon.
5/4/2007 - I went in to get my blood work results yesterday and there is nothing wrong with my blood. Now I am going for a CT scan - as soon as I can get it scheduled. My MD is thinking either cancer, ulcer, tumor or hurnia. I will keep you all posted

Did you ever find out what it was.....I'm having similar symptoms and I'm terrified
If you find out what it is, please post it because I'm experiencing the same symptoms and would really like to know what it is!
My symptoms were almosr identical and the diagnosis came down to gallstones and diverticulosis
Thanks for posting this! Can you tell me a little more about it though? What did they do to treat you for it? What could someone expect with similar symptoms? Thanks for letting me know in advance.
