Have you been able to fully recover from your testing?? Any results yet or do you have to go in for an appt for that ???
You're welcome! I hope it works for you.

I've been extremely tired today. I'm letting myself just go to sleep tonight and risking waking for a few hours later, but I really need the sleep if I can get it. I have to drive 2 hours each way to pick my nieces up from school tomorrow so I have to wake up. I can't believe how wiped out I am from 30 minutes of anesthesia. Oh and one night without sleep....But that's pretty wimpy for me, I've gone much longer before clozapine entered my life. I only took about half of it Sunday night and not all of my gabapentin either. It was the right call as I was up for the toilet every 20 minutes or so but it messed me up.

Right now we know more about what they didn't find. No polyps, which is excellent. No visible inflammation. No cancer.

I don't have a follow-up scheduled which I think is weird. I think they told my mom they'd schedule if the biopsy showed anything. I don't know what happens if it doesn't, if we just give up or what. I love this hospital system but not loving the GI department.

When I woke up they were talking about "microscopic Chron's (I know I"m spelling this wrong but too tired to figure out the right way)". I asked if I had Chron's and they said we'd talk about it in a few minutes. I don't remember the rest clearly but I think they said I don't have Chron's. However I don't remember the microscopic being discussed further than the nurse who didn't know I was awake and those symptoms match things fairly well. The good news with that is that it tends to clear up in a few years. My mom read about celiac because they biopsied for it and she thinks that is similar to what I've had but I don't. Who knows.

I think the pathology will be back in about a week.
