Tomorrow I go for my upper endoscopy and it comes on the heels of a weekend of gas pains and diarrhea.

Times I have responded to those with our disease, but I guess I also need that occasional vent.

Thanks for letting me share.Sad

I hope all goes well. The symptoms are just so awful I imagine we all just want to vent by shouting it out to the sky..I know sometimes, the pain..I think of it as crueler than death. >_>

You don't always have to be the strong one. Go ahead and vent.

I wish you much luck tomorrow.

Thanks for all your support. I went through the endoscopy and the Crohns' remains at the same level it did for the past two years-no better, BUT no worse-yay. Have to take Imodium for the next few days for the diarrhea and to heal the irritation I have to continue taking the prilosec for an indeterminate amount of time.

Again thank you all for your good wishes!Cheerful
