Having rectal bleeding. Bad. That's why they want to do it next week. Saw a PA that said I had to be off it due to it being an anti-inflammatory drug. From what I have read it is a anti-convulsive but not a anti-inflammatory. (after you questioned it Vrae) I possibly have Barrett's esophagus too and if so my stomach meds need to be increased. On prior scope (2011) I was told that a biopsy would be done to verify that and after reviewing it today no biopsy was done just on stomach acids. When I was told biopsy was neg. I thought it was for barrett's but was stomach acid only so I probably have Barrett's esophagus.
Since I was tender in upper area as well as lower I need a upper GI endoscopy too.
So here is my list of ailments, RSD, kidney stone, probable Barretts esophagus, diverticulosis, HTN, bilateral adrenal neuromas and who knows what else!!!
Also with me just going back to work I have to take off 2 days for this due to the prep the day prior. I start it at 7am the day prior.
