Done Wallowing :)

[Peanuttt]

Ive been in a bad flare since about a week ago & I allowed myself the wrekend to wallow in my own self pity, but NO MORE. Ive got an appointment for tuesday morning with my specialist and if he is unwilling to help me get back some quality of life, I am going to tell him that will be my last visit with him and move on... I am also going to requwst a double balloon endoscopy to biopsy my small intestine. I am learning that sometimes doctors really dont help & if I dont advocate for myself no one else will.

Also wanted to mention a great supplement ive been taking for joint pain. Its called Women's Ultra Joint by GNC & its got fish oils, vegetable & fruit nutrients, as well as a multivitami with 3x the amount of D3. It does not have iron in it tho (im not anemic so thats not an issue for me, but I knoe it could be for many others).

Congrats on taking control! One word about the multi-vitamin, if you are not past menopause, you need iron. I was taking a multi without iron for almost 4 mos or so and then quickly found out I was anemic. As soon as I returned to a multi with iron it was gone. The doc said that we still need that extra iron until after menopause.

Good luck in your journey!
