Mindy, you're the greatest!       02/15/06 08:06 AM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 Thank you SO MUCH for giving me a detailed account of your diagnosis and symptoms. That's very helpful. By the way, I don't get grossed out easily so you don't have to worry about giving me TMI. I am glad that your medications are helping you so much. I agree that taking them is necessary. About 2 years ago I had some CD symptoms, if not all of them (except no blood). That's when 2 GI docs thought I probably had it. But the SBFT test revelaed nothing and the GI doc told me I had a very bad stomach bug that took months to get out of my system. All my really horrible stomach things started with a case of food poisoning followed by either another food poisoning or a bad stomach bug a month later. I think you could be right that I am in remission. That would make sense. And thanks, I will continue to do what I've been doing as my symptoms are WAY better. Actually, the anti-depressant is what saved me. But this new doc thinks that it's too good at possibly blocking my stomach pain so I might not be feeling my symptoms. I haven't lost any weight. In fact, I'm heavier than I've ever been. I've also been thinking about fevers. While I don't think I've had any full blown fever, I OFTEN feel really hot. More so since I moved to NYC but I thought it was just me getting used to the weather here? As for arthritic pain, I do have tmj which gives me bad jaw pain. And I do get body aches about once a month. I used to just think that I was burnt out and called it my monthly 'flu' as that's what is felt like. The more I think about all these odd symptoms the more I think it's possible? Do you think that my doc is looking for another diagnosis? I think the doc said it is 50/50 because of the blood test. I didn't go into enough detail with him about my ibs. We just did the new patient symptom checklist thing. I bet he doesn't even know that I HARDLY EVER get D anymore. I went from (2 years ago) having it pretty much every day to now only having it twice a month and it's more just loose stool than liquid. SO it's not even that bad. Thanks SOOOOOOO much Mindy. I am trying to stay calm and not panic. Your input on this is extremely valuable an important to me. Thanks so much for helping me with this. Tina Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
