Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hello J.J, I hope you are feeling less scared now and that you have had your appointment by the time you read this. I'm sure your doc will have cleared some issues with. Other people have talked about the tests that may be ordered for you. An experienced gastroenterologist will know what is appropriate in your case. You're right; CP is hard to diagnose and some of the symptoms can sometimes seem very like those of other conditions such as IBS. I was diagnosed with IBS for a number of years before the real diagnosis was made. Mind you, a doctor might just believe you may have both, I suppose. Please don't be scared. It's not a nice condition but a lot can be done to ease the situation. When you have more details of your particular case, there will be other people here who have been in a similar situation. Your gastro should give you all the necessary help as well, with info on diet, medications, future tests etc. I did say that prayer. Hope you're home now or soon, and calmer also. (It's 8.00pm here in the UK). Take care and let us know how things went, Fliss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
