About to go for appt with gastroenterologist...nervous!!

[SpawnChorus]

I've been having all sorts of weird abdominal pains for months now, and have been referred to a gastroenterologist. The sensible part of me says that it might just be a reoccurance of crohn's disease (had one previous flare up about 8 years ago), but the hypochondriach, anxiety riven part of me suspects it's Something Sinister.

Need calming vibes before I hyperventilate myself into unconsciousness

Shameless self-promotional bump

Good Luck SC, I hope you get some answers - and all good ones at that!

Good luck SC, sending you positive vibes .

poor you

don't feel unloved, and good luck. I would say I hope it's just the Chrohn's, but that doesn't sound too great does it

I saw a GE a few years ago and had a simultaneous colonoscopy and gastroscopy (think spit roast ). The sedative was fab and I didn't feel or remember a thing.....am just worried that I made appreciative noises during the colonoscopy

Good Luck x

Thanks

Doctor was very lovely. Appt went pretty well...he thinks it's 'just' a flare up of crohn's

TwelveDaisy - oh yes I remember the sedative.... Did you have to have the foul 'colon cleanser' though? Fleet, I think it's called. I gagged with every sip...yeugh.
