My whole family was on edge and all I could do was sleep. I was so tired. I didn’t have the energy to move. Monday came, I went to work with the idea when I got the call I would leave to call them back at home. I got the call at 10 am and…

PET Scan Day
PET scan day: My anxiety is at an all-time high. Tears, yelling, shaking, and racing, and whatever else I can think of. I didn’t sleep and have the worst shoulder back pain ever. Prep work; Thankfully, there is little prep for this procedure. 12 hours before, don’t eat any sugars or carbs. The other big…
Update on Pill Cam Test
Update on Pill Cam Test- The pill cam was nothing like I had imagined it. It had this glowing light and was very hard to swallow! Once I got it down, they strapped this belt all around me. It had this blue flickering light and vibrated from time to time! I worked all day while…
Fistula, Fistula, Wherefore Art Thou Fistula!
Possible small bowl issues/ fistula— is the new story of my life! Well not really new, its been almost TWO years of this! So, I did a few stool test and they came back okay- all within normal markers but I am still feeling sick and my local GI agreed with my Mississippi GI, to…

Partial Blockage
About a month ago, I was back in the hospital, so much for trying to stay out during COVID. Honestly, I would be back in the ER with my luck (ugh). My stomach pains were pretty bad again and I honestly had no idea what was going on. It did feel like my Crohn’s trying…
GI Doc Follow Up!
I had an apt with my GI nurse practitioner last week. I was also really shocked that during our appt he had to excuse himself to take his mask off! He told me he hated wearing it and that we were far enough apart that it was ok. I told him I would feel much…
ER During Covid
I know hospitals are supposed to be safe places and I honestly was making myself sick with fear about going. When I got there,they asked me questions at the door. They asked if I had been in contact with anyone who had been positive if I had traveled or had any symptoms. I knew I…
