Hello to all

Well a quick weekend comes to a close and we are having some mild weather here…my wife and I take a ride up to Ft Belvoir hospital tomorrow for her ENT exam and a good look at her throat..then we pick up med refills and renewals…. I will be keeping my phone ringer on just in case I get a callback from my GI office with the biopsy results.. they switched my Followup to the 10th of October, exactly a month since my colonoscopy..these uncomfortable symptoms still persist and my anxiety disorder exacerbates the GI trouble…I did take a Levsin and a half of a .5 klonopin…I was looking up anxiety and it’s relationship to nervous GI symptoms and there is an interaction…upon reading further on the article I found the GI system has it’s own nervous system—the enteric nervous system—-and how it’s associated and reacts to the brain to gut syndrome…so far all of my symptoms seem to line up with everything I’ve read about ‘microscopic colitis’ (MC)…there is a whole lot of medicine out there for this condition…if that is what it is…stay safe and healthy for all who come here🙏

@pvctom2021 It's frustrating, isn't it? As patients, we would like to have answers "pronto" to our concerns. Perhaps journaling about that frustration, how it makes you feel, will help as a coping mechanism?

In reading your other post, about the receptionist seeming to tap dance around everything. you might have been absolutely correct. It was Friday, and she might have not had any staff there to turn to.

I hope your drive goes safely, you get all the refills as required, and that those results come back tomorrow!
