Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi all -- Got back from my doctor's appointment. It seemed to go well. The doctor had actually heard of EDS and had actually seen a few patients with it. I gave him the VEDS CD Rom and told him he was welcome to watch it, but that the CD had scared the wits out of the last doctor (hehehehe!!!!!!!!) Well, he wants to do some more tests (yuck!!) -- wants me checked again for c-dificle and a blood test to see if I have mild celiac sprue (sp?). He said it was interesting that the last time I was on antibiotics (for my toe a couple of months ago), my intestines felt better and I felt normal for a while. He also has scheduled an upper GI barium test to check my small intestines (he couldn't believe no one had looked at the small intestine yet). He was talking about a " bacterial overflow " - which I guess is a bacteria backup from the large intestine into the small (where it is not supposed to be). That's scheduled for June 22 and then I'll see him a few days after that. Oh, and he kept asking if I was on well water (which I am)????? All in all, I think the meeting went well. We seemed to communicate well and talked about alot of different areas -- diet and different things we can look at in that area if all the tests show everything is normal. And not to be outdone, my cardiologist has scheduled my nuclear stress test on July 6 (as he said I have many small symptoms, and he doesn't like it -- oh well!!!). He is also going to have me wear a monitor for a while to check the palpitations I get almost daily. If I'm repeating, I'm sorry. Too many things on my mind, I guess. Best wishes to everyone --- Love, Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
