Soooo had a lovely checkup at the doctors today.

Had an operation regarding my pain last Thursday (possible endometriosis) turns out NO that is not what i have

TYPICAL!!

Doctor now says i should get a Colonoscopy
for CROHNS DISEASE!!

this is just GREEAAATTT.

Pain is unbearable!!

Good thing to come out of such a bad visit to doctors: Got prescribed another 600 codiene tablets and was told that i have used my "yearly limit" of meds so until Feb next year i get them for free!! YAY!!

(trying to stay happy after bad news....)

Oh Jeez, I'm sorry to hear that. When do you have your colonoscopy?? I hope to God you don't have Crohn's. That certainly is a rotten disease - My sister has it, and one of my good friends has it too. It's no darned fun. Neither are colonoscopies! LOL

It just seems pretty weird that he would go from Endometriosis to Crohn's. The only thing similar is the pain, right?

Please let us know when your colonoscopy is, and when you get your results too. Know that we'll be saying prayers, that's for sure!! God bless. Hugs, Lee

Thank you so much for your support and kindness.

I havnt got a date for colonoscopy yet, i have to decide whether i want to go on the waiting list or pay $1600 to go private.
Yes the only thing similar is the pain and the area i get my pain.
I dont really know that much about Crohns but i also hope i dont have it!!

Thanks again Lee!!
