Title sums it up. Going to the Doctor on Wednesday for the earliest appointment I can get.
I think it might be my meds, I hope it is. I tried to talk to people at home about it. I'm not sure if anyone even registered what I said. Im very scared.

Fuuu, my heart goes out to you, OP. I don't know enough about that specifically to be helpful, but I can say that I've had more than a couple of serious medical issues... I've been lucky in that, so far, but the waiting and suspense is the worst.
Here's one: Went to the doc for a really persistent, occasionally bloody cough. They find nodules on my lung, tell me to come back in two weeks for more pics. Panic the whole time (Thinking cancer, maybe parasites, i didn't ducking know, just terrified.) Go in for more images, they call a couple of days later, images were blurry, three weeks until they can get me back in. In that time, my cough cleared up, and it turned out that the nodules were scar tissue from an infection I got in college...
Long story short, I lost 10 pounds and probably 20 years of my life from all the worry. I was thinking mortality and crying myself to sleep for no damn reason...
Treat the symptoms as best you can... Hydrate, rest, and (I know it's not really possible, but...) don't think about how serious it may or may not be... It won't do you any good, and the stress could make symptoms worse. Leave all diagnosing to the doctors on Wednesday, and take good care of yourself in the meantime.
Best of luck.
Thank you.
Hopefully it's just hemorrhoids. Is it bright red blood or darker?
Definitely go to the doctor.
They will probably want to do a colonoscopy or at least a sigmoidoscopy on you.
Me too, been shitting blood for like almost 3 weeks now... No constipation and I get enough fiber in my diet..... No pain anywhere in my stomach as well. Seeing a doctor tomorrow morning.. Google has been scaring the hell out of me with all the possible things that I might have
Are you sure it's internal blood?
I'm fairly sure. There was blood in the bowl and on the tissue. :(
Well, yeah, but is it just hemorrhoids or a fissure? The brighter the color, the higher chance this is the case. Hopefully this is all it is.
Hopefully. I'll hopefully get sorted out by the doctor.
If the blood is bright red it is probably a fissure/hemorrhoid . If the blood that comes out is dark red it is probably not. The longer blood is out of the veins the darker it gets (as it loses its O2)...So you can guage where it came out in your GI tract based on that.
The blood dripping and on TP sounds exactly like my experience with a fissure Have had this happen to me multiple times...Pretty much harmless but annoying to deal with. PM me with questions.
Yeah if it is black it means it is intestinal bleeding if it is red you took a large chit and it ripped your hole a bit

It could be ulcerative colitis or cron's. It's an expensive chronic condition but not fatal of treated
It might not be cancer but something else.... anyway stay in there man....you may be FA in the real world but here you are fam
