My Unproductive GI Visit on Thursday *sigh*

[Guest guest]

So...my pain after my gallbladder surgey has not gone away, but gotten

worse. My GP had a MRCP done because my GI doc did'nt think I needed

it. MY GP also wants my GI to do a colonoscopy.

On Thursday, my GI says she does'nt think I need a colonoscopy ( I do

and said so) and wants to do an endoscopy AGAIN (I had one 2 months

ago)

SHe still thinks it's my stomach. She sent me home with Nexium and

Elavil. SHe said the Elavil helps with the pain.

I'm not too keen on taking either. I just took myself off the Protonix

and so far, so good. A little bit of sourness, but not really bad GERD.

And I'm extremely sensitive to antidepressants. Last time I took one,

it was Zoloft. It made the walls move in and out and my boyfriend's

face turned into an evil clown face. It was frightening.

Thank god I am going to see someone who knows something about the

pancreas soon.

Take a look at him:

So the endoscopy is at the end of this month. And I see the specialist

November 3rd. Why does it take forever to get tests done and to be

seen?

I am very, very depressed. This pancreas problem came out of the blue.

I don't know why or how. The gallbladder surgery did not solve the

problem.
