o.k., so so much has happened to me this last week. I had that EGD done, it went o.k., they took some biopsies, and ended up coming back saying I had a bacterial infection in my stomach...now they have put me on 2500 mg of antibiotics per day for 14 days! I am on day 2 of antibiotics, and can tell you it is not fun. I have been feeling sooo nauseaus and sick to my stomach, absolutely no appetite, been forcing myself to eat some toast and maybe an apple, it totally sucks! Now I have to go in for a colonoscopy next month, not till Feb. 23rd, which really sucks cause I am a nervous wreck about it, why does it have to be so far out, darn it! Of course right now I'm thinking the worst about the outcome, my mind is racing out of control and with this medicine I'm taking makes it worse. I need to keep saying to myself, calm, cool, collective! I need to learn a little phrase to say to myself each time I catch myself thinking bad thoughts!! I hope the next couple of days will get better!

Colonoscopy's are not fun it is true but I think if you can get past the preperation you will be fine cause hey they give you drugs so you just don't give a hoot what they do to you. Just think of the prep and a major cleanse. You will definetly drop some pounds that day! You could always make yourself do 20 crunches every time you catch yourself worrying. Just think of the Abs you could create in the next month. I am sure you will be just fine! Best thing to reduce the nausea from meds is absorbant cards. Not really great for any diet plan but it may help you feel better. I don't know what you are taking but if you can take it with food and before bed! Hope you are feeling better soon!

I'm sorry you have to go through this. When you know there is something wrong but no one can find it and it is taking them forever can be very stressful. Hang in there and we are all here for support. I had major stomach cramps for over two months and had to go to get a ct and go to three doctors and finally after a few months they figured out I had Endometriosis. So, I know what you are going through with all the pain and waiting. You will get it taken care of and soon feel so much better.

Thank you so much carmy and skinnygirl!! Carmys, doing abs when I start to worry, yeah, I would probably get a 6 pack in a month, that's for sure! When you say absorbant carbs, does that mean like breads?? I have been living on toast and applesauce and bananas lately and it seems to help somewhat. Skinnygirl, I will have to look that up, Endometriosis, I hope you were able to find a med that works to help with it. This waiting to get in for the colonoscopy just sucks, I think I will call every couple of days and see if they have any cancellations! They will surely get sick of me calling and bump me up!! Hope everyone has a wonderful day and thank you again for being there for me while I am going through this, it means a lot!!

Thank-you Exna and Patience too! Exna, I looked up diverticulitis, maybe that is what I have, I don't know, but I did call the doctor today to see about an earlier appointment, and was able to get on Feb. 11 instead of the 23rd! That already makes me feel better!
Thank-you Patience for supporting me too, it feels good to know when I log on I have support from all my FS buddies!
