The prep is the worst but at least no one can say that you are "full of s___t."
Vibes coming your way that you get your strength back quickly and the results from the test are negative.
In this case, negative is a good thing.
Awe.. I wanted to be the one from Michigan!!!
I was going to say think of all the weight you are going to lose from this, but then you already said you lost 6 lbs!!
Congrats on making it through without extra discomfort or any complications, I really hope that they can find out what is causing your problems and that you continue to toot well! I mean. to get well!!!Originally Posted by kittylover4ever
Hi guys......its me..........well, the doc said all looks fine. I made it through the procedure ok..........they gave me an iv and gave me some drugs to loop me up......well, I remember most of what they did, so I was aware, but like in a "I don't care" state of mind.........the throat thing wasn't bad, and didn't last long at all........and the colonoscopy was fine too.......little discomfort when pressing, but no pain..........
I gotta tell ya though...........afterwards when Jerry was brought back, the nurse asked me if I had passed any gas yet. I told her no. Well, she told me she needed me too!She told me to curl up on my left side in the fetal position and try! I thought, ok, here goes nothing. Well, Jerry said he was so proud of me, that my passing of gas was better than any of the guys at the firestation could have done!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anywho, he told me to make an appt with him for a month from now and we'll talk about things as far as my pains are going........I'm dissappointed that he didn't find anything, because I so want to know the source and get rid of it.
But I am SOOO glad it was over.......if any of you need either one of those tests, don't worry. The prep stinks, but the tests themselves are nothing.
I made it though with all the love and concern from you guys.........what would I do without my extended family here!:
Oh, and on the way home, we stopped at Bob Evans and I had a pork loin dinner that was yuummmmyyy!
Thanks Frannie........yes, a mixed, bittersweet blessing!Originally Posted by rapunzel47
Glad everything went OK, Susie, and that it wasn't too terribly awful. Good that no nasties were found, but also frustrating that you still don't have answers.
No, no one has suggested that yet..........I have an appt with the gastro doc in 4 weeks to talk over other tests to find the cause of my pains......
Celiac's disease is something that I am really comfortable understanding. I tend to make a lot of gluten free things, so if you need any advice let me know.
She does have a LOT of symptoms of it, doesn't she???? And it is not very often diagnosed.... you have to figure it out for yourself...
I've also met a lot of women recently who after menopause developed sensitivity to gluten. It's not all that uncommon. I just wish for people's sake they could develop a blood test for it rather than put them though the testing that she had. It would make life a lot easier.
I'm sorry they still haven't found out whats causing your pains, but at least they didn't find anything serious!Originally Posted by kittylover4ever
Well, official word from the gastro doc today. Biopsy of my tummy came back fine. He said no bacteria found, (which is what he was looking for), a little irritation, and for me to come back in a month to talk about my pains. So, although I'm so glad he didn't find anyting wrong, I still am no closer to finding out the source of my pains!! ARGGHH!!
