Mine's already headed to the water treatment plant, but thanks for the info for those who haven't had it. Hope yours resolves without surgery!

Cat - pill cam went well. I woke up yesterday with a headache probably from lack of sleep and food. I picked up a diet coke on my way to work after so at the stroke of 10 I could chug it! :) Lunch was heaven after going without so long, but the headache made me nauseous. I had my hubbie drive...

For my pill cam, I still had to be NPO for 2 hours, then I could have clear liquids (that diet coke never had a chance!), after 4 hours I could have a light lunch. Crabby - with my monitor, it was still on my hip but it just looked like fanny pack except for the 8 wires coming out from under...

That is so not fair!!! My doc told me they have you swallow the pill, strap on the jet pack, and send you on your way. I have to be there at 7:30 a.m. and return at 3:30 p.m. I hope I get to eat something after I take it. I'll update tomorrow night!

Cat - my sister-in-law was talking this weekend about 'candling' your ear to soften the wax so it comes out on it's own. Not sure how that works, and as much as I am a klutz, I would surely set my head on fire! I'm having the pill cam tomorrow morning. I love you guys, but I'm hoping to leave...

Cat - sorry you are having such a tough week. We've had years where my hubby has been out of work and it is so hard to get through. Being totally selfish - I'm hungry!!! I hate clear liquid diet almost as much as doing prep.

I know! Chicken fried steak and donuts!!

Sorry, wanted you to be well informed. From my research, it really depends upon your doctor! :)

Doctor called me back yesterday, celiac disease was negative so I'm having pill cam on Friday. Most things I've read said no prep, not the case with my doctor! Oh well, at least it is just the miralax and duclolax prep. I can live with that. We'll see what the pictures find!!

Haven't been on here for quite a while, but feeling quite frustrated. Took our kiddos on vacation to Mexico this summer and managed to have a great/non-bathroom oriented time...until we were checking out to fly home. As of today, I've had diarrhea every day, every meal save 2 days since...

Crabby - my doctor said he was going to order this for me this week. You haven't updated, how did it go?

Thanks for the info, I'll read before I call Monday!

No, I don't remember. It was within the normal range. I think I'll call on Monday and get those numbers and mention the enlarged red blood cells again. based on current symptoms, probably should have it checked again.

The b12 has been checked and came back normal. I have added a b12 on my own anyway. I take Folbic daily anyway for my MTHFR which includes folic acid and b vitamins.

All of them at one time or another except the sore tongue, weight loss (I wish), difficulty walking (though I've been a clutz all my life, but not medically related), and memory loss.

Wow, Lots of questions! Here goes... 1. Yes, my half brother was diagnosed 16 years ago at age 15. 2. The predominant pain tends to be the LLQ, however; it can be anywhere in the lower quadrants.. 3. Symptoms have been the abdominal pain and diarrhea, I have started getting migraines again which...

I do have homozygous MTHFR which is a mutated gene that causes me not to clot as quickly, trust me I've been checked for every hematological abnormality there is! When I had my 2nd ischemic attack, I saw a hematologist who literally had 21 tubes of blood drawn to test for all of this stuff. I...

Thanks, makes me feel a little better that I'm not completely crazy!

Thanks for the info and website, I did some more research last night. Sounds like that could be an explanation. I was lucky enough to get into my GYN today, so we'll see what he says. Every time I have a scope or er trip with pain med via iv, I'm feeling much better for a while, why is that...

Thanks, I've never heard of that but I'll check into it especially since I no longer have a gallbladder either.
