Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Hi Lucy thanks for the re-assurance, yes, I just want to have the test and get it over with... better to know the truth than to wonder about it and come to have regrets from not taking actions sooner... I've been taking iron pills for the longest time for anemia and have suffered from constipation for a long time... that's why I think I have internal hemorrhoids.. I do not, however, have pain in my abdomen (intestines) except for the occasional twinge from the occasional diarrhea... but I did have the upper left quadrant pain in May/June.... anyway, we will soon find out... thanks again and I'll let you know about the results when I've got them... my thoughts are with you as well.. How have you been doing, btw? love Carmela ****************************** > >Reply-To: Rpolychondritisegroups >To: Rpolychondritisegroups >Subject: Re: tummy upset! >Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 2:28:53 -0400 > >Hi Carmela, I too bleed often with BM's, basically when I tend to strain. >When I was in the hospital this last time, I was still anemic and they did >the endoscopy and colonoscopy to see where I was bleeding from.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Hi Carmela, I will be thinking of you when you have your test. You will feel great when it is all over, just think about how it will be over soon, I did not even know when they were doing it, they put something in my IV and I knew nothing. I am feeling much better every day and coming off of the prednisone by 5 MG every 5 days. I will be feeling real good to get off of it completely if I can. You take care, Love and Prayers, Lucy > [Original Message] > > To: <Rpolychondritisegroups> > Date: 8/23/00 1:33:03 PM > Subject: Re: tummy upset!
