I also wonder if @winnah @tavi @tllamber @dicknlou @jmbazan @katieslost @lyndamm @kathyzendner @barbararickard have any recommendations for you, as they have discussed visiting/living in the Portland, OR area.
@mcminmark, have you been put on any medications to manage the flare-ups?

Hi @kanaazpereira, thanks for all the tags! My Internist had his staff call this diagnoses to me. I asked for a copy of the report, which I got in the mail yesterday. They do say if I have any questions to ask, but I'm asking myself if there is really a reason to meet with him, or if I should move to a good GI Dr.. The radiologist seemed to be the one driving here, not the Internist.
Getting to your question, no. No medications have been brought up. I have read here some have taken prednisone and tomoxofin. I don't take anything for the pain, mainly because I hear long-term use of inflammatory drugs are not a good idea, plus I want to address this, not mask it.
I'm off to Mexico for two weeks here in a few days, extra concern there on the food/water. Will be interested to see how the lack of work stress and the relaxation play into this.
Thanks,
Mark
