ARCHIVED Endoscopy Experiences?
Deniseannette posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hey Everyone, So, I'm having an endoscopy done this Thursday. I'm very nervous! I was so nervous that I actually rescheduled my last one! What a whimp, I know! I wanted to know your experiences with it? Did they knock you out completely? Would i be able to go to work the next day? What are the chances of complications? I'm kind of annoyed that they didn... -

Its confusing because I have a primary doctor. She told me that the celiacs blood test is very expensive. But she was the one that ordered the MRI of my brain and spine. My neurologist and GI specialist work at the same hospital. Because I was diagnosed with H-pylori back in July (bacteria that causes ulcers) My GI specialist wanted to do endoscopy to... -

LOL, I actually live in Canada where for the most part health care is free. I must have spent about 500 dollar over the past 7 months. I'm wondering if I should take the blood test first?

Thank you so much for all of your responses. It means the world to me to have people who understand me or at least sympathize. Even the people I live with seem to not believe me because I "look" well. I feel like I've been to hell and back. I've never been so sick in my whole life. I'm hoping in a strange way that I do have celiacs. I know it sounds awful... -

Thank you so much for reading my story. I have been suffering for the last 7 months and continue suffer. Let me start at the beginning. I'm 22 years old, never exactly lead a healthy lifestyle. I've never been a good cook (last time I cooked I gave myself food poisioning). More often than not I would eat out. Doesn't help that I work at a resturant!...
