in reply to @t98 Thank you. Yes, I am anemic and recently had two iron infusions that knocked me off of my feet because I was allergic to whatever they gave to me. I will never have one again. The hematologist has suggested both a colonoscopy and endoscopy. The gastroenterologist ran some tests and concluded that a colonoscopy was not necessary. I have had many lab tests run by the hematologist, and he has assured me that I do not have a plasma cell disorder. He too wanted me to have the colonoscopy. As you can imagine, I have been navigating the crazy medical system for a very long time, while trying to remain positive. Yesterday the nurse from the hematologist's office sent me a note telling me that the LDH lab which has been abnormal twice, may just be a "fluke" and I have to go back to the lab for additional workups. I will do this at the end of the month when I can take care of everything on the same day. All of this is exhausting, so I have decided to take a break from all things medical at least until the end of the summer.
