Sandie... well at least the upper GI eliminated and didn't add one.

I know how frustrating all this is. Guess there isn't anything else to do but just keep on keepin' on...

Re: Upper Endo Results - Sher

Oh I got yeah, here I thought you had some news for me. Yeah I burn candles but not all the time, dont have a fireplace accept a wood burning stove in the garage. No I live in the country. And yes I have mentioned it to the doctor they dont listen like everything else. I was so hoping the Upper GI was going to solve a lot of my problems instead it just eliminated one.Sandie > > >> > > THe digestive clinic called after I sent an email to my GP and > told > > her > > > I cant do this anymore I have taken everything (double dosed > the > > > protonix, added prilosec, prevacid,and zantac triple dose) and > > nothing > > > is working I am just miserable.

Sandie...an idea just came to me. As the last upper GI eliminated one problem....list that "one problem" that is eliminated. Then list every test that is negative. Maybe you'll see a significant list of things you DO NOT HAVE and that will give you strength to carry on. Show the list to Drs/nurses/ whomever, so tests aren't repeated and pretty soon, logic tells me you will narrow the field into "what is".

Does this sound silly to you? Or maybe this info. is already in your head but it really works to put it on paper so you can "read" it. Kinda like a 'grateful list'...

I can relate to your frustration. I'm having my own with a Dr. Our frustration isn't up for debate is it? lol.

You do so much...are you 'overworked'? Stress has to be a factor.

Hang on Sandie, you will get to some answers eventually.

A warm hug to you.

I know but it is so miserable! WHY WONT ANYONE LISTEN TO ME! THats what I want to keep saying. But I have just been moving on with life and moving forward. I had my college classes start last week and working extra at my second job because one of the cooks is out in Atlanta this week. Just trying to stay busy and not focus on this because I just dont know what else to do!
