My bleeding ulcer was under good control, and I had fully recovered from severe anemia. I was so glad to be in good shape, anticipating the holiday season. Then I started throwing up blood last week and went to the ER . . . for the 5th time since May. The stomach ulcer had opened up. I'm now anemic again.
I have to go for endoscopy . . . again. I'm so disappointed.
I do realize this is not like having cancer, or heart disease, or a stroke. People go through way worse health issues than I'm having. But I'm just sick of it . . . partly because I am alone and have to hire someone to drive me to get this procedure.

That sounds awful to me. What age are you? I know in my mother's city there's a service to drive seniors to and from medical appointments and it's $12
When I had an endoscopy I basically just told them to skip the sedation as I don't have much of a gag reflex. It's was uncomfortable but not too bad. Then I was able to get the bus home.
