Dear Kevscar
Wow thankyou for sharing this v useful information.!
It makes me feel less scared if i do go ahead with the endoscopy as i now know there is a kind of safety net so to speak, if i do need surgury.
Very interesting that you say my gut feeling was right about having blood taken!
My GP has been pressing me for years to have blood taken.I now know i was right to resist!
How do i find a way of presenting your infomation to my GP in a way she will accept?
You know what the NHS is like it only recognises infomation they call cosha.
My GP is a v good listerner and people person,and was an anesatist before a GP so ive half a chance.
I think i will print off all the valuable infomation that all you good people gave me and give it to her!
My only fear is that she will say, im in a good place most of the time with low pain levels,unless i get a flareup,and that i dont need to take such precautions!
I can but try.
Again thankyou for sharing you hard won infomation with me.
Big gentle hug
