Hi everyone! I'm feeling pretty good after my endoscopy. I think the main endoscopy related symptoms I am having are a sore throat and being a little tired. I'm struggling to regulate my body temperature, but I think that's risperidone and/or physical illness related because I was already struggling with that a little bit before my endoscopy. It is worse though so it's something to keep an eye on.

Everything looked good-due to inflammation, they took one biopsy to test for infection, but otherwise everything was fine. If the biopsy comes back positive, I think I just have to take some antibiotics. The GI doc is willing to double my acid reflux med since my current dose isn't working anymore and everything looked fine. He said to see him again in 5-6 months.

My friend claims I didn't say anything ridiculous so that's good too!

An unexpected benefit was the IV they gave me. Fluids/electrolytes are a key thing to managing my physical illness so getting this IV did wonders! I actually felt better after the endoscopy than I have in ages!

Outside of a chiropractor appointment, and a possible trip to the pharmacy, I'm going to make myself rest some more today. I'm thinking I'll go treat myself to an iced coffee too.
