~~~~ Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I have Crohn's disease, a chronic illness where parts of the digestive tract get inflamed. My Crohn's isn't as bad as some people's, but I have been rather ill with it in the past. Tomorrow I am having an endoscopy to check up on how my intestines are doing. I thought I'd share this with my friends (you lot) in case you found it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an hour ago, I had the last piece of food that I'm allowed until after the endoscopy, which starts in 25 hours from me posting this. It's not too much of a problem, since it's simply a case of not doing something (eating), which is easy for me because I am lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too much of a problem, since it's simply a case of not doing something (eating), which is easy for me because I am lazy. I remember for my colonoscopy I have to 1. Fast and 2. take 60+ pills throughout the course of the day, which essentially surrender control of my digestive system.

~~~~ Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Well, one camera later, and it turns out my Crohn's is doing well. Elevated calprotectin levels had seemed to indicate a flare-up, but today my brilliant doctor told me that calprotectin isn't a perfect indicator and can be wrong. Wahoo! Thanks to all the well wishers. I'd be lying if I said that when I was in the depths of camera-agony that I remembered all of the wonderful YCM-love and felt better, but at least you gave me that option. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
