It happened before.
Meds stop working, doctor just does an endless battery of tests while I get more sick but doesn't offer me any new treatment options.
New doctor time, I went through humira, cimzia and stelara with zero improvement.
I just had a bad colonoscopy and she wants to start running a bunch of tests.
I am failing to understand why, we've gone down this road.
They're gonna find inflammation, we already know I have inflammation, I already had my gall bladder out.
This just seems like a long, torturous road to the next medication for us to try, why do I have to go down it?
I have had the upper GI series, CT scans, MRIs, whatever, you name it. Always the same, inflammation, inconclusive, we're not sure.
I'm not going through it again unless my doctor can explain to me a clear end goal.
