Just stopping in to say I hope everyone has good week!

@Cat isn't it insane how much they get for prescribtions. I talked to my insurance about the med my gi wants me to take. My copay is $105 for a 30 day supply :O The GP can't give me a referral for a second opinion :/ She did put me on Bentyl for pain, so far its not helping. I will be...

Wow online lab results! How lucky are you guys?! We are old school all the way :P

Thinking happy thoughts for everyone! Tomorrow I go see my gp...I am going to figure out how to second opinion. No way am I signing up to a drug that is so expensive and has such severe side effects without a second opinion, especially since I feel like I have been undertested! You guys talk...

Hi Phear! @Allie & Cat You guys are too funny with the dogs. I wish I could say that my two dogs would be that disciplined to stay on a treadmill. On the one hand I have a husky that loves to pull my toddler around on a sled, so I guess it works out in the end :P @Tamesis I think it is a...

@Flower I have horrible bleching almost every night. I was told it was due to SIBO and I have been on probiotics for months without much success of getting it under control. As if everything else isn't bad enough then you have to have it come out the other end too :P @Allie, that is so...

So I didn't make it to my GI appointment on Monday due to circumstances outside of my control (aka weather trapping me in a different state). They rescheduled for 1 March! *smacks forehead* I just can't believe how little they actually care for the patient, it just amazes me. At any rate I...

@tamesis stomach bugs are the worst! Especially when you keep passing it amongst each other. I hope you all start to feel better soon. @Jill that is weird that you get the symptoms at the same time. I would think they would be connected, but heck I am not medical professional :P @Allie that...

@Allie...Yikes. I hope you feel better soon. I am sure it is discouraging trying to get your weight up. Hang in there, something is bound to work :) @Cat...No test were done. I have a GI appt soon and I am going be demanding because that is what the nurse told me to do...lol...

I just got back from the rheumy...it was a wash. I went there told him my plight only for him to say "I am pretty sure its not a rheumotogical issue but I can run the test, but really you need to solve it with your GI doctor". HHHmmm, thanks I have been trying that for months and she doesn't...

@sunshine, I am to that point too, the "I hope I get sick so the doctors might have a chance" which seems so dimented. Nothing against you personally, because I have similar thoughts. Here's hoping something goes your way soon! Shands is amazing so hopefully they will be able to help you. I...

@Allie, I just think she feels like I am being to passive about the whole thing. She has seen the files and I think she is thinking it is something more than IBS but figures I am not being demanding enough to get further testing done. She is super sympathetic with my situation I suppose. It is...

Happy New Years Everyone! It is great to read that some of you are having successes in finding diagnosis. It sounds like a few of you had some awesome NYE experiences too! I like many of you have hope for the New Year. I'll try to catch you all quickly up on my recent trials...So in Oct I hit...

Has anyone tried the specific carbohydrate diet to deal with some of their symptoms?

@Star I have no idea really. I got the results by accident from the nurse so I am not really sure that the doctors have even reviewed them. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Got my CT results today! I appreantly am "normal" with the exception of an inflammed liver! I am so frustrated, I don't even know what my next test should be or if I should even keep trying. My new "normal" sucks, I want my old life back!

@Sunshine I think you are being really brave. It's a lot to go through when you know that something is wrong with you and the test keep coming back without a solution. What a toll emotionally! PS - Whats a fat test?

@cat, my doctor will see the results next tuesday. So I am guessing I will start the harassment on Wednesday. @dahl that nuclear pumpkin sounds cool do you have a pic? Hope you start feeling better soon!

I want new veins...besides being stabbed 4 times beofre finally getting a vein the CT Scan went smoothly, now we just wait. @Carrie maybe some soap for christmas, might do the trick for them?

@Sunshine that is so frustrating. Maybe a second opinion? I mean I know the Mayo has a great track record, but labs have been known to mix up lab results or lose them altogether. I am keeping you in my thoughts. I am off for my CT Scan...Hopefully it will show something, because like many...
