ha Bruscar... no doubt that would be an uncomfortable environment when you're trying to heal. lol....

this makes me happy and Hopeful.

24 hours. it is a 24 hour ph test. I am supposed to do what I would normally do so no going home and laying down ... it would ruin the test b/c gravity, etc. Have to sleep with it in ... its a nuisance and you can feel it in the way when you swallow. I am going to go for dinner somewhere...

well..first thing tomorrow morning I go get a tube inserted in thru my nose into my stomach. I have had tubes down the nose before and remember they pinned me down as your reaction is to yank it back out again (or mine was). I remember hating it.... they do try to make it a little easier by...

excuse me but I haven't received my laminated membership card yet .. :)

I find it interesting when I ask what caused the strictures and thickening of the bowel wall... they cant answer that. I reminded them that IBS doesnt cause that... they brought up surgeries can cause that but when I question only having 2 scopes... the nurse said not usually. It is typically...

Did you start your doctorate yet ? :P Im not surprised either ... :) there is just something about you that makes you distinct from others in so many ways :D

If there wasnt a year long wait I would ask to see another GI (in fact, I did but havent heard anything since.) lol.. "been following this thread for like forever" .... trust me,...it feels like forever..!! thanks everyone. I would have lost it if it werent for this forum. It seems to be the...

I think it means.. the MRI's suggests I have crohn's but they are not definite. <shrugs>

when she asked me what meds I was on I told her I was on dilaudid and now I am only taking percs from time to time (i have left over ones from surgery and have been breaking them up and taking little pieces just to take the edge off). BUT I told her I am running out and when I get my period I...

I forgot to mention that the clinical nurse also told me it was okay for me to take advil during my periods b/c the narcotics were causing constipation. I dont know what to think anymore... I get a lot of conflicting information. ...and grumbletum.... you havent scared me at all... :)

Thanks Dusty and Dex. Wow... seriously Dusty...after all that they dont think Matt has CD? Do they have another theory as to what he does have? It certainly sounded like he had CD. I'd be wanting an answer as well... and to know if that was a one time thing or if there was a possibility of...

I promise :) I only vomit during my period ..and projectile...lol... the GI thinks there is more than one thing going on (aside from endo.) I wish he would stop relying so much on the bloodwork though. He keeps bringing that up how it comes back normal. Perhaps...but my MRI's are not. Also...

Hi Joan, Yes, I followed about Jessica.. and so glad she is better. I thought it was funny how she was sitting up eating when you arrived saying hi and feeling better. I think I felt the relief for you :) I read the link and they said that it wasn't my appendix (my GP) and when I went to ER...

Hey.... how are you??? I am soooo glad to hear all went well..... waiting on the rant :P yep..I itch with dilaudid as well and the good news about it is it isnt AS addictive as some of the other opiates. not to say it isnt but i didnt find the withdrawl very bad at all.... I found the...

no I rent and I already live in a big city with 4 large hospitals. Unfortunately, it takes a year wait list to get in to see a GI...there are a shortage of GI's here. I can guarentee though that if they do find something and it is in need of immediate medial atention i.e: surgery... I dont know...

http://www.wbaltv.com/womansdoctor/28296449/detail.html well well well... I am not posting this b/c I believe there is a men vs. women competition... I believe we are all along a continuum - some with more severe symptoms and complications than others... etc... I am posting this b/c I am...

I am feeling a little bit better than when I was earlier but I have broken up the percs and have been taking pieces of them. I feel the pain in my right side (hip /groin) all the time and sometimes I have pain in my left side. Back bothers me and my hands still have a rash. Im okay... I could...

here is yet another prime example of why I get so pissed off. I just called the CT entercolysis department and asked about getting on their cancellation list. They dont have a cancellation list and she said she is very suprised the doctor asked me to call (the nurse did actually) because in...
