Well I had my follow up appt. this morning with my gi. I wanted to see my lab results, so he showed me the antibody results from my bloodwork, and the pics of my intestine, YUCK> In comparison to pics of a normal small intestine, mine looked all cracked, with alot of what they call "scalloping". The sucky news is my liver enzymes are still high, so I had to go get poked again, which I hate, and they are doing an ultrasound of my liver Oct. 12th. Hopefully everything turns out okay, will this madness ever end, I am sick of being tested. I can see why he wants to, my liver isn't acting normal, but that doesn't make my desire for testing any more peachy. Okay, I'm done whining now...have a great weekend everyone!!! :D:D:P

It's okay to whine here .... it makes it easier to not whine elsewhere!!!

Well, the good thing about you looking at the pics of your intestine is, that it's easier to accept when you've seen it with your own eyes. You now know how bad it looks, and will want to fix it.

I am sorry about your liver not functioning right, I hope something can be done about it, and your doctor can figure out exactly what the problem is.

I hope you feel better soon!

Whine away Julie, you're in a safe place.

Keep us posted on how your liver tests go.

      Hi  There’s been no mention of her adrenal glands as far as I know
    • Theresa2407
      Have they checked her Adrenal glands.

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.

      Your concerns are reasonable about the celiac risk aspect, and getting additional medical input is a good idea. Obviously I don't know the extent of your child's misalignment, but please don't think of it as just a cosmetic issue. Braces improve bite alignment and typically provide long term health benefits.

      I watched my spouse go through shingles before the vaccine was available for "younger" people, so I got the vaccine as soon as I could. It really knocked me down too, especially the second dose. Even with that, if necessary I would take that vaccine every year to avoid getting shingles. Luckily it's a lifetime benefit though.
