Prayers Please (there could be something wrong)

[NoahsMommy]

I have faith that things will be OK and I trust God completely.

But I need prayers please. I had to go to the ER again for my stomach pain last Wednesday and they admitted me. They did a CT scan and think my intestines are inflamed. I was out on Friday and my dr. put me on a food sensitivity diet (something that he was pretty positive would make my pain go away). I've addressed the stress in my life and have been feeling good and happy.

Today...my pain is coming back. I need prayers for everything to be treatable in the least evasive way possible. I will most likely be having a colonoscopy. :( But, I am prepared for that, I can do it. My concern is for what they find.

Please, please pray for me.

Thank you!

Love, Kelly

[micki76]

Oh Kelly, I do so understand your pain and the fear. I too have stomach pain, mine has been diagnosed as a partial obstruction in my small intestine. I had ovarian cancer 3 years ago and had a hysterectomy and now have scar tissue which is causing my condition. I was terrified that it was back, but thank goodness it wasn't. It is extremely painful whenever I eat something I shouldn't like anything high in fiber, or that's hard to digest.

Keep your chin up and I will be praying for a simple answer to your problem and relief for the pain. Let us know what they find out as soon as you know.

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you Micki,

A partial bowel obstruction. I wonder if that is what I have. On the CT scan, the doctor said it looked like there was an obstruction, but couldn't see anything that was obstructing it.

The diet I am on does have a lot of fiber in that I eat rice, veggies, fruits, oats and some fish. Interesting...it seems with these stupid stomach things, they never know what it is. Its very frustrating. :(

Thank you for your information and your prayers.

[primabella]

praying that all goes well :) you take care of yourself, kelly :D

It is EXTREMELY frustrating! I went to 3 different Dr.s before I found my current Dr. They Dr.s before told me I had Irritable Bowel Syndrom and to eat a lot of fiber. Now I know that eating fiber is a death sentence for me!! When I went to Dr. Wolfe and told him my symptoms, he asked if I had ever had abdominal surgery. When I told him I had, he just started nodding his head. He knew right away. Of course, he had several tests done to rule out anything else, but we're now sure what the problem is, and since I've changed my diet I've had no more episodes of pain.

I wish you only the best and I hope you get a quick diagnosis.

Are you seeing a specialist? If not, I recommend going to one.

[ramanth]

Before a I had my biopsy discovering I had endo, I had an colonoscopy done. It's not so bad really.

I hope and pray they find the cause of what is hurting you. Being in pain is no fun, I know that for a fact!

Lots of love and hugs,
Kimmy, Kia, and Zam

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you!! I need that reassurance that the colonoscopy isn't that bad. I think that if I'm in "la la land", I'll be OK. :)

[popcornbird]

Oh dear. :( I never knew you weren't well and I'm so sorry to hear that. :( I know how much stomach pains can hurt. They are awful and destroy your appetite, and the worst part is the docs neve know what it is. :( I know this one kid who had stomach problems after returning from a trip. He was only 7 years old and it took the doctors 6 months to find out. They kept telling his parents its a stomach flu. He couldn't eat, was really suffering for 6 months. Eventually they found out it was a bacterial infection after he lost 15 pounds (and he was already VERY thin) and started treatment. I pray your stomach pain is nothing serious. :(

This reminded me....I've never had a colonoscopy, but I did have it from the other end. I don't remember what they called it, but they went in through my mouth to see if I had ulcers or what might be causing my pain - turns out it was Acid Reflux - but what I wanted to say was that the test was a piece of cake. I think they do the same thing for a colonoscopy. They don't really "put you out" but they give you something so you can follow instructions and can cooperate with them if they need you to turn or whatever, but you don't remember anything afterwards. They make sure you have someone to drive you home because even after recovery you might not be all there. With me, the doc came in the recovery room and told me what they found and that I was good to go - guess it was about a 10 minute conversation, and I don't remember a minute of it! It's a good thing Terry was there so he could re-tell me everything the doc said afterwards. He said it was funny that I didn't remember because I was actually talking to the doc, answering and saying that yes, I understood everything - and I don't remember a bit of it!

I think they do something similar with the colonoscopy - not quite sure - but if they do it should be a piece of cake. :)

[jenluckenbach]

sometimes just waiting to find the cause is the worst of all. Will have you in my prayers until you are better. Take care. And when you get a chance, snuggling kitties always helps.;)

[wolflady]

Oh Kelly, I was certain this new diet would work out for you! I sure hope they can find out for sure what is bothering you so you don't have to deal with such unpleasant pains in the you know where!
I can come down for support if you would like for me to, if you get this colonoscopy done. Yikes!! Sorry, people...that's an exit...not an entrance! :eek:
That just doesn't sound like fun, but hopefully, like others have mentioned...you won't remember most of it.
Lots of love and **hugs** are on the way and I hope to see you sometime soon!
:)
Karen

[lynnestankard]

Kelly I'm so sorry - this sounds so worrying for you. Know your in my thoughts and prayers. {{{Hugs}}} coming across the miles.

Love Lynne

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you everyone. I'm still waiting for my dr. to call me back...I hate the waiting part.

I'm going to ask him about consulting a GI on this...I don't think this can be cured by just eating certain foods.

I'm almost happy to have that glorious colonoscopy done. If I don't feel it, I can do it. If I do it, maybe they'll figure everything out and I can be sent on my merry way. :) Pray for that, please.

Thank you again. Your support is so helpful.

[slick]

Dear God:

Please help Kelly endure what needs to be done and bless her with your healing hand! Make her well and happy....


Hugs on their way....luv

[moosmom]

Kelly,

I'm sorry you're having so much pain. And I know how frustrating it can be not knowing what's causing it.

As far as the colonscopy goes, now that I just turned 50, I'm going to have to have one done once I get a job and get health insurance. They say the worse part is the preparation for the procedure, drinking some icky stuff and hanging out in the bathroom all day. But you'll be in lala land when the procedure is done so not to worry.

I'm sending prayers your way and will light a candle at church tomorrow. You're in my thoughts, hon. We're all here for you.

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

Poor Kelly...
I will be sure to remember you in my prayers. Please keep us updated on what the doctor says.. I had intestinal surgery when I was three years old... so my curiousity meeter is UP. {{{{{KELLY}}}}}

Sending some purrs from Tinky and Jupiter too.:)

[Cataholic]

Kelly,
Hang in there! Prayers on the way for good news, a diagnosis, no pain, and a comforting hand from above.
Love,
Johanna

P.S. I didn't want to put this part, but the herd made me....you will have a few funny stories to tell after the colonoscopy...so, make sure your honey takes notes! ;)

[NoahsMommy]

OK...I called them again and had them put me on hold while they talked to my dr. He said that he's not ready to do a colonoscopy yet. And that he'll call me.

I'm starting to wonder why on earth he doesn't want to do one...what does he have in mind? More shots of morophine or demoral? What is he going to do?

Prayers...please. I need patience and to know what I should do.

Thank you!

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you Chris...he still hasn't called me. My mom got a bit irate and called him about an hour ago and asked "What is she suposed to do??" (all MOM like) and he said that if I'm in that much pain to go to the ER or wait for his call.

It hard to believe in someone when they don't extend this common courtesy to me. Is that bad that I'm feeling this? He knows how much pain I'm in...I just don't understand this. :(

[wolflady]

Yikes, Kelly! :eek: That's just rude, IMO...that he can't take 5 mins to call you and let you know what's going on. Obviously going to the ER every single time is going to get old fast, and you don't want to continue doing that anyway! :mad:
I would be so frustrated. Is there somewhere else you can go? Did you look for a GI specialist in the area?

**hugs**
Karen

[sammi]

I hope you get to feeling better soon. I just got out of the hospital after spending a week and tests/pain are not much fun. Have some faith in your doctor - you can always get a second opinion if you don't feel right about his diagnosis. Abdominal pain can be a million things - and no fun to suffer it out. Willl send prayers and positive thoughts your way.

[NoahsMommy]

Exactly...I feel like an idoit running to the ER for some pain meds and stomach meds more than twice. ESPECIALLY if I'm doing something about this...as well as my dr.

I keep wondering why my dr. thinks food will cure me. I would KNOW if he'd freaking call me!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I am very frustrated and in pain. I'm still sitting here at work, awaiting his call. My mom is driving me insane because she keeps calling me...freaking out. This doesn't help!

[NoahsMommy]

Just got his call....I sure am being tested... ;)

He is prescribing vicodin (spelling?) and putting me on a clear liquid diet. He is calling a GI to schedule my lovely colonoscope in the next week.

Glad I waited and didn't run to the ER. For some reason, I felt I should have waited, I'm glad I did. I need to have faith in my dr....something that my mom is driving me crazy about...she's going to call the BBB and check him out.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[wolflady]

**hugs**
I'm so glad that you finally got the call! I was beginning to wonder if you were gonna have to sit there all night long! :rolleyes:

I sure hope this new med works! Do let us know and rest easy! ;)
**hugs**
Karen

[marysmerrycats]

Hi Kelly

first I want to say that t&p's mom is right, you won't remember the colonoscopy at all. and you won't be in pain from it after, I had one and it was nothing. it does not take long either.

I will pray for you that they find out what is wrong and that everything is ok with you. I know it is very hard waiting and wondering, it really does make one worry. just take it a day at a time.

your dr sounds like a very unconsiderate jerk. have you thought about finding a new dr after this is over?

I don't think there is anything the BBB can do about the dr, you could call the , oh I can't think of what it is called, the A.M. A? american medical assoc? there has to be a way of finding out about dr's, which is always good to do anyway, I know there is a number to call to find out if they have any lawsuits against them, or complaints etc. I will check in to it for you and let you know if you like?

I hope you get to feeling better real soon!

[Felicia's Mom]

Kelly,
I hope you get to feeling better, and I will pray for you.

[Nomilynn]

Kelly,

I will pray for a good prognosis and a speedy recovery for you.

Naomi and the Kids

[Miss Meow]

Kelly, I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. I hope they can find the exact problem quickly and set you on the road to recovery. Will be thinking of you next week - look after yourself. Even if your doctor is giving you the runaround, I know you have the cutest little nurses in town :)

[jenluckenbach]

let us know when you are going in for the procedure. I sure hope that finds the problem.

[Vio&Juni]

Good luck Kelly with the tests. Everything is going to be ok, just don't worry, you may even make it worse.
I had a big problem when I was in Romania (University). I went ot the ER in the middle of the night (on Friday) with 40C and they sent me back :eek: saying I have to continue taking the same pills my doctor prescribed on Friday noon for a week. Paracetamol and Aspirine!!!!! No tests, of course! And I had a severe urinary infection, almost died from it. First of all, they didn't want to come to the dormitory to take me with the emergency ambulance - they don't provide services to student dormitories!!! Lucky me, the university doctor came to see me once again first thing on Monday morning. She was so scared, she complained to the regional Chief doctor and the next time, after a month, with exactly the same problem, they not only took very good care of me, also gave me injections for 2 more weeks for free.
So, your dr is still good :)

[Ann]

Good luck to you, hope they figure out what's wrong soon.

And when it comes to doctors, a lot of them are complete asses. I had such a rough time dealing with them all when my health was at its worst. Sorry that you are having to deal with that kind too >_<

[Pam]

Kelly I am sorry you are going through all of this. I know that the 'not knowing' is often the worst part of something like this. I will pray for you for peace of mind as you have to deal with the waiting and then the diagnosis, whatever it is, which hopefully will be something easy to treat. {{{hugs}}}

[anna_66]

Sorry to hear you are in such pain Kelly. I hope that the tests they do show what is wrong. I know how it is when you have a problem & the dr's just can't seem to figure out what it is. Good luck & keep us posted on how you are feeling. You will be in my prayers.

[lynnestankard]

I really feel for you Kelly - the waiting and wondering, while in pain can be so exhausting. Your in my thoughts and I'm praying for good news for you.

Lynne

[lovemyshiba]

You will be in my prayers, I am so sorry you are having so much pain, and even more frustrating to not know what it is.
My aunt went through something similar last year, and it was further advanced on her, but her brother and my mother both have the "intestinal problems" also. They all had colonoscopys, and my mom told me it really wasn't that bad, she didn't even know what was going on.
I'll keep you in my thoughts, and hope that they find out what is wrong, and that you are out of pain soon.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Exactly what I was thinking as I was reading how frustrated you were getting, but at least he finally called and you've got a plan of action now.

I'm glad you're being scheduled with a GI too. He's the specialist and will know much more about what's going on than the regular doctor.

Good luck and please let us know how things are going. :)

[Albea]

Dear Kelly, so sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Prayers and positive thoughts are on their way for you to find the right answer to your problems.
About Vicodin, in case your doctor didn't tell you, do not stop taking it cold turkey. Diminish the dose one day at a time. When I had emergency gall bladder surgery last year the surgeon, the nurses and everybody else who had anything to do with it, made sure to let me know that this was very important; this is true for any strong painkiller.If you cut it suddenly you may feel very sick and that's not something you need right now.
Hugs and best wishes for your speedy recovery.
Alicia

[wolflady]

How are you feeling today, Kelly?? Did you pick up the Vicodin? I really hope it helps cut down on your discomfort. Hopefully the colonoscopy will find some results so proper treatment can begin! Bless your heart!
**hugs**
Karen

[Dakota's Mommy]

Of course my thoughts and prayers are with you! I really hope to hear soon that they know what's wrong and that they can heal it quickly and easily. Best of luck to you as you face this fear and uncertainty that lies with the pain. Everybody here at Pet Talk is thinking of you!

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes and prayers.

I took my Vicodin last night at 7:00...it dulled the pain, but it was still there. I fell asleep last night sitting up on the couch (I feel better sitting up) and awoke at 12:10 a.m. having to pee. (all those liquids ;) ) I was really dizzy and somehow made it to the restroom. Once I flushed, I got really dizzy and hot. I sat on the ground and called for my hubby. My stomach hurt and I was sweating, it was running down my legs! :eek: I pulled all my clothes off (yea...hubby must have thought I was crazy!) and sat there drinking 7-Up and some water. David helped me back to the couch and once seated, I felt that "wonderful" painkiller feeling and went back to sleep.

I woke up around 9:30 (phone call... :rolleyes: ) and felt dizzy until noon. I'm feeling much better now, I even went to PetSmart with David to get meds for the fish (ICT).

I'll check with my dr. tomorrow to see when my appointment is. Can't wait. ;) I'm not mad at him...he truely thinks that my diet will help me. I can understand where he's coming from...just not while I'm in pain.

Anyway, thank you again everyone. I'll let you know about the upcoming tests.

Love,
Kelly :)

[Vio&Juni]

Kelly, maybe I am over-reacting and ultra-careful about it, but, don't you think you shouldn't be drinking any synthetic drinks (esp. with gas) like 7up? I really think all these synthetic additives and gas it's not good for health, esp. in your situation.
Try to have mineral water, preferably without gas.
My colleague's husband had a very big problem with his stomach and intestines. He was supposed to have surgery. Right after he started the healthy diet, the pain eased, and now, after two years, without any surgery, he's another man. He also looks much younger now. He's still eating only healthy products, nothing synthetic.

That is so right !! Try like I did : fill a can with 1/6 of orange juice , and fill up with water.
Put it in the fridge . It is a great drink!!

I agree with you. I'm not drinking the 7-Up or anything unnatural besides eating the Jello. I only had a few sips to make the nausea go away. I am currently eating/drinking chicken broth, childrens apple juice, jello and water.

I'm still waiting to here when my colonoscope is...I'll call today. I just want it over with and to get better. My mom is freaking out, of couse, which really doesn't help. I know I'll be OK...I still have a lot to do on this earth. :)

When I call today...I want to see if he can prescribe me that NuLev too...I wonder if that could help??

[Russian Blue]

I just posted a reply up in Cat's General. Hang in there. It's horrible where there are so many uncertain things going on and you have to wait. Very frustrating. It may be an obstruction like another poster mentioned. My mother went throught that because she has alot of scar tissue.

But it could be a whole other thing entirely. Everyone is routing for you. Keep the faith!

[gini]

Kelly, I feel terrible that I did not see this thread before. I have been making "quick hits" on Pet Talk but not really reading all of the threads.

I am so sorry that you have to go through this. It is frightening and you just want to jump ahead in time and have all of it behind you with some good explanations in hand.

I know that will happen soon. I don't live that far away from you and would be glad to do anything I could to help you out.
Please feel free to p/m me.

In the meantime, you have my prayers that you will become more comfortable. Pain meds are very harsh and I would imagine that is why you are dizzy. I personally, cannot take them.

A big hug to you and I hope you can get some sleep.

[COCatMama]

I don't pray, but I am hoping you don't have IB or Crohn's :) get well better soon.

[gini]

Kelly, how are you? Update us when you can!

I hope you are better now!

[NoahsMommy]

Thank you for your prayers and kind/positive thoughts. :)

An update:

I called my dr. on Friday morning while at work to see when my appointment for the colonoscope is and to get a prescription for NuLev. He returned my call at home at 6:15 p.m. at home. I wasn't home yet, so he left a message saying that NuLev is Levsin, something that he's prescribed me to stop the cramp/pain thing (didn't work). That was all he said, except that I could email him this weekend with any questions because he was on call. So, I did. I sent him an email asking when my colonoscope was, when I could return to eating solid foods and if the Levsin (NuLev) could be used daily as a preventative. This was about 6:45 p.m. on Friday night.

Well....its Monday morning and I still do not have a response from him. Thus ends his last chance in this matter.

I have an appointment with a GI on Tuesday, March 11th. I'm eating food again, nothing that I'm not allowed to eat in regarding to my food sensitivity diet and am keeping track of EVERYTHING I'm feeling. I'm armed and ready to see this GI, hopefully he'll know what to do and we can get me better.

I will keep you all updated. Thank you so much for your concern, prayers, ideas, information and kind thoughts. It has given me a lot of strength and support. Thank you...

Love, Kelly :)

[RockyRoad]

I feel so bad that I missed this thread. I'm glad that you are eating again. We are praying for a full recovery.

I too have endometriosis and man it is very painful. :( I have been to so many docotors and they all told me the same thing, that it was just all in my head. Thankfully I finnaly found a great doctor and I am scheduled for an endoscopic surgery in a few months, hopefully it will be ok. During that time they will go in and remove as much of the scar tissue they can. This has been the cause of two miscarriages for me, and it took me a long time toconceive Dylan. Hopefully after surgery I will be able to carry to full term again but we will be putting in a cerclage (sp?) just in case. I will also be trying out new medications as well which should help. The other docs I have had in the past just did not know or care about what I was going through. A good doctor makes all the difference!!!


Kelly I am sorry you are going through this. I do hope you recover fully and feel better soon.

:)

[Jessica12345]

oh my:( sorry you have to go thorugh all of this!
:( My prayers are still with you that you will make a full recovery.;)

[Ann]

I hope you have better luck with your new doctor! I'll keep on keeping my thumbs crossed for you :)

[NoahsMommy]

Thanks everyone! :)

[tatsxxx11]

Dear Kelly, I'm so very sorry you're feeling so ill:( Special prayers for a complete recovery and positive thoughts are on their way. Glad to hear you're able to eat now and hopefully the GI will get you on the road to recovery asap!

[slick]

I did know someone with the same condition and I couldn't believe how painful it must have been. I'm praying for a speedy solution and a happy outcome!!

[mugsy]

Kelly, go kick some doctor butt!!! I would be changing doctors too!! Let us know what happens.

[moosmom]

Kelly,

I've been reading what you've been saying about the pain. Just want to warn you about Vicodin. It is addicting and should be taken on a full stomach. Alicia is right when she says you should wean yourself off.

Do you still have your gallbladder? I had pains in my upper right quad that came everytime I ate something that was high in fat or other stuff (10 years ago, don't remember what the other stuff was). They did an ultrasound and found a cluster of gall stones that was hidden by my liver. Out came the old gall bladder. The surgery and recovery were very quick and boy did it feel good not to have the pain!!

You're still in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted. And if you are unhappy with his diagnosis or his treatment, get a second or even a third opinion!!

[NoahsMommy]

Boy am I glad I made the decision to move on to a GI. My doctor STILL has not emailed me back! Its been almost three full days...amazing!

Re: Vicodin....I've only taken it that one night. But, if I need to take it again, I'll take your advice. Thank you!! My dr. didn't mention anything....why am I not surprised? :rolleyes:

[AdoreMyDogs]

Oh goodness I hope you get some relief soon. I recentlly had severe pains which I thought were coming from my back at first at about 3 or so in the mornings...so bad that I could hardly breath. Way too bad for me to sleep through, so I had to get up. I had some relief once I was up and walking around. I figured it was my matress, even though we have a brand new wonderful matress. About three nights of walking up between 2-3 AM with pains so bad that I could not lay back down, and I couldn't breath w/o hurting so bad that my eyes teared up, I decided to go to the doctor. I was really freaked out. I thought for sure it was something terribly serious, and I was terrified. The conclusion was I had a hyatial hernia and acid reflux. When I layed down, a valve which was supposed to be closed, was open and it was leaking acid into my stomach and asaphagus (jeez these medical words are hard to spell!!!) and it caused SEVERE pain. I was getting between 3-4 hours a sleep a night, and it was pure hell. I was exhausted, but terrified to sleep, because I would just wake with the most God aweful pains.

I hope that what you are experiencing is no more serious then what I went through. I changed my diet, started going to my chiropractor, which showed me how to manually push my intestines out of my diaphram (hyatial hernia), and I began improving. It's been about 8 weeks now and I have not had any more flare ups.

I agree with everyone, in that you should absolutely cut out all caffene and soda. If you think that what you may be experiencing may very well be a hyatial hernia and/or acid reflux here are a few things to do to not only help it not get worse, but it will help you avoid that happening in the future. Try to cut out anything spicy (just in case that is what you are going through) and absolutely never eat within three hours before you lay down. If you have a late dinner, sit up in a comfey recliner or on the couch until three hours has passed, then you can lay down. Also, after you eat, never, EVER bend down, unless you strictly bend with your knees, never let your stomach bend. If you drop your fork, either leave it there until your food has digested, or bend with your knees...never bending with your stomach. Try to keep your back as stiff and streight as a board if you absolutely have to bend down, until an hour after you eat. What you are describing sounds like it very well could be a hyatial hernia and acid reflux and, if it is, as long as you catch it early and do what the doctor suggests, it's very fixable.

Best of luck to you. I know that it's scary, and I only hope that it's nothing serious. I will be thinking about you and wishing you well. Please let us know when you find out what it is.

Hugs from Leslie, slobbery kisses from Graham & Kersey, & headbumpies from Minion.

[NoahsMommy]

Donna,
I forgot to answer your gall bladder question. I do still have it, and my dr. actually did mention that. But I had that CT scan and I would have thought (hopefully) something would have shown up. My dr. said that he thought I was too young for something like that, but I wouldn't be surprised...my body seems to have its own rules. :rolleyes: ;)

Leslie,
How horrible and painful for you! You poor thing, that would have really scared me. I don't wake up to the pain I have, it comes on really dull and then intensifies over a few hours. I'll be sure and ask the GI about that though....all the help and options I can get, really do help.

Thank you all so much! I'm feeling yucky today...so I'm back to my crackers and liquids diet for today.

Love, Kelly

[wolflady]

Gosh Leslie, that sounds awful for you as well!! I'm glad that you were able to fix it!

Kelly, I really hope this GI will have answers for you. Is the appointment today?? Do let us know what happens!! I sure hope you can get to feeling better soon!

**hugs**

I tried emailing you yesterday but your box was full! Don't ever let a doctor say 'your too young' for something. That's how many doctors let patients believe they are too young for breast cancer, etc. It's a horrible misdiagnosis and each 'body' should be treated as an individual, not by what statistics say should be happening.

Keep at the doctors Kelly, till you feel satisfied with what they are telling you. You are the customer!

Still sending you positive thoughts and better medical guidance than your last doctor!!

;)

[NoahsMommy]

Karen,
No, its next Tuesday...almost there. :) I actually just got of the phone with the records department at the hospital. I want to make sure my GI has EVERYTHING he needs.

Nakita's Mommy,
I wont, thank you. I need to learn not to rule anything out and will ask the GI about that too. Thanks for reminding me and keeping me in your thoughts.

Kelly, I hope the new doc sheds some light on what is causing your illness so you can get on that road to recovery. Keeping you in my prayers and thoughts.

Thanks again. You are all so kind, thank you. :)

I wanted to give an update....my new GI called with a cancellation and I get to go in this Thursday! I'm so glad!

I'm glad your going to be getting in sooner, hope they can finally find out just what is wrong. Good Luck & let us know what they say.

Kelly, I'm so sorry that you've been in so much pain lately. :( I sure hope that the GI test will help to diagnose your condition so you can begin treatment for whatever is found. Prayers are on the way. BTW you might want to clear some of your PM's because your box is full. Please take care.
