    First colonoscopy....what's the chance of a diagnosis?

    Heya cat Thank you ever so much for your kind words, and advise I am so scared yet I think it's more because I feel that I have been through all of this and won't get told anything. I don't know how long I have had this for but I'd say easily since 2008 but just put it down to other things. I...

    Oh right, that's really good to know! Did it take you a long time to get diagnosed? Feels like I have been this way for so long as still have ages to wait to find out what actually is going on with me? My dr is brilliant, but everyone else is making it impossible for me.

    I thought that myself? But I suppose maybe they are doing it to see the outcome? I finish tomorrow and see my dr on Thursday? So hopefully get a few answers then. I've heard it's dangerous, how is it though? Is it the shock to the system or because it's addictive?

    Well it's 8 tabs of 5mg so its a 40mg dose. They said its to try help my stomach and my nose as I'm constantly unable to breath through my nose. But I'm only on a limited time because they can't put me on anything until the scopes.

    I'm on a 5 day treatment of 5mg prednisone. 8 tablets once a day? Does that sound about right? Its helped my nose, I can actually breath and it's made me actually want to eat which helps. Not sure on the stomach as still getting the pains but it's not as crippling as it was. How have you...

    hey astra thanks very much for getting back to me too, i forgot to mention that i am b12 and folate deficient causing the anaemia. the b12 jabs are horrible and painful. i did have a blood test a few weeks back that showed my inflamatory markers to be higher too, but then my hospital dr said...
