Hi all. I just went Friday for a colonoscopy (ugh!!) I had surgery about 5 yrs ago and they removed all the bad intestine (Ileum). But low and behold this colonoscopy shows ulcerated mucosa present near where they resected the last time. I go the 25th for new meds and all those goodies. But in the meantime I'm wondering if anyone has been here and done this and what I need to expect. I've been very fatigued, muscle aches, joint pain, fever, you know...all the good stuff, for months now. ALso had some problems with lymph nodes under my arms (anyone else had problems with that?) I know I have a 50-50 chance of having surgery again. Since the first surgery I have had non stop diarrhea. I have a lot of problems too with dehydration. The colonoscopy also showed an anal fissure. Anywho... If anyone has had surgery and then had it come back, I'd love to hear from ya. The best meds out there now, things like that would also be helpful and appreciated. Some meds scare me with all the side effects. You feel worse than before u took them.
