What is the probable cause of my symptoms?

[Anonymous]

No one can be this dumb. I hope OP is a troll.

I cannot believe I woke up to all of the replies! I am not a doctor, but I never even thought of cancer as being a possibility. What is C diff? For the record, to the last reply I seriously and not a troll, and this is seriously not a troll! And this is anything but a joke. I am literally not kidding, nor would I ever kid about something like this. I knew no one was going to be able to diagnose me over the internet, I was just trying to see if possibly somebody had experience this and could give me further insight.

You have DCUM's first ever consensus responses. Go see your DOCTOR!

OP, please see a doctor.

The signs of ovarian cancer may be different for each woman and any one of these symptoms may be caused by noncancerous conditions. Because the ovaries are located near the bladder and the intestines, gastrointestinal symptoms often occur. When present, common symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:

Persistent abdominal bloating, indigestion or nausea
Changes in appetite, often a loss of appetite or feeling full sooner
Feelings of pressure in the pelvis or lower back
Needing to urinate more frequently
Changes in bowel movements
Increased abdominal girth
Feeling tired or low energy

C diff = clostridium difficile, an invidious intestinal bacteria. Notoriously difficult to get rid of.

Are you in a time zone well west of the east coast?

[Anonymous]

Okay, I just looked up c-diff, and I do not have any bloody diarrhea, or fever. So is that now an unlikely diagnosis?

[Anonymous]

East Coast.

Nevermind I just read what you actually asked me. Nice

What is the reason you have not been to doctor?

I have an appointment on March 1. I was hoping that whatever was going on would to go away, but that is not happening. So, now everything has come to a head and it is getting worse. That is why I turned to the internet to see if I could get some answers from someone who possibly has experience with the same symptoms, or has had the same symptoms. I finally conceded to the fact that nothing I did was going to correct to this. I'm not one to run off to the doctor, and I tried to let things run its course, or see what I can do myself. This time there's nothing I can do. Actually, this is the first time I have ever been faced with something that I could not fix by myself or at least have an idea as to what the diagnosis is going be. Usually it's very minor and temporary.

I would like to add as well I'm quite sure the administrator of this site can confirm that I am most definitely not a troll.

Body can heal a lot of things... But not all.

Yes, I know. That is part of the reason why I turned to a forum for support until my appointment.
