Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Do a swop with you peanut, next week I have an endoscopy.
The one where you have nasty liquid down your throat, no food just clear liquids.
Oh did I say, not move away from toilet whilst nature takes it course.

After experiencing a colonoscopy it sure is not a nice thing to get done peanut. Take care :hugs:

@ dilli & raging bull good luck with your tests hugs to you both.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

Thanks :tu:

Last Thursday I seen the nephro, kidneys are stable after 6 weeks of peeing blood. So he's put me down for iron infusions and Vit D. Blood pressure is high so doubling up on those meds as well. I don't have a clue to what's happening now. Just taking every day as it comes.

Today was Gastro, results from the nuclear med / MRI shows a very long stricture that can't be sorted by any meds, I was hoping for infliximab but that's now been ruled out. They need to check the colon to see if that's been affected as I have active Crohn's as well as a lot of scarring. Also need to check for anything else like bowel cancer as I would not notice any symptoms to what I have now, it's something I can't put off. Saying that I have actually lost count now of how many colonoscopies I had.

It seems like I'm heading towards surgery now as it's the getting the point of the all or nothing scenario. But in all honesty, depression is getting me badly and feel it's a losing battle.

I had a few of those too, they are best when they do the colonoscopy as you get the full whack of sedatives. The liquid is just a spray. Let me know if you want to know more. :)

Hope it goes well.

Will have to start a club!
Had my colonoscopy 10days ago, MRI scan in 2weeks (have to get my ICD switched off first). Just getting past a joke with tests as and when letter arrives.

I'd take a colonoscopy over an MRI any day. With PKD they have to check for berry aneurysms, so usually the MRI takes 40mins to an hour with your head locked in a cage. 1 had to be stopped as couldn't take anymore of it, the 2nd time was totally dosed up. I fear that machine like I do spiders and I can't stay in the same room as a spider.

My problems stem from the fact I was in the chemical industry for 30+years, we used to use such as cyanide and alpha napthalamine. (One kills you the other found to cause C)
Lucky me still dodging coffins.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8

@ raging bull, peanut and diili.

Wish I could make everything go away for you guys, I certainly don't envy you any of the procedures you have had lately and still have lined up. Speaking from experience I know they are all necessary but that doesn't make them any easier to deal with.

Stay strong guys, you are all an inspiration to me.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
