Hi. Archie.
The type of tests I have had so far are:
2 colonosopies (april 2010, february 2011)
2 Endocscopies (February 2011, and and ultrosonic endoscopy in July 2011)
Ct scan in November 2010, another scheduled for Aug 19
Several blood tests
Small bowel follow through in August 2010, he is thinking of doing another YUCK!!
WBC Scan, (awaiting results)
Endocrinic nuclear tests (results just back showing small shadow above right kidney, usually a normal variant but being sent for a ct scan to be sure)
Pill Cam April 2011
Lower and upper abdomen ultrasounds.
I think that is all, I know there has been so much, the phycologist actually wants me to take a break from the tests for a bit. All are coming back inconclusive or negative. And the radiation is hard on the body and the stress as well.
Hi Cat-a-tonic.
The doctor never did tell me what kind of ulcers they were, he just said small patchy ulcerations. The biopsies that were taken said acute ileitis non specific, all it said basically was infectious vs early inflammatory bowel disease clinical correlation is recommended. The doctor said that many things can cause ulcers and more than one specialist has told me that, but it still doesnt explain my pains and diarrhea.
Thank you all
