Friday, May 29, 2009 | A General Update story

went to the gastro

this is what he told me:

 

"this is really very good, you are in much better condition than I expected."

"there is nothing to suggest any other diagnosis."

 

but, that does not explain what set off the cachexia 

or why my skin, hair and nails are better now than before;

I have some thoughts on those things. 

 

but, he wants to do a wireless capsule endoscopy

that will make a "full length" video of my small intestine;

my medical insurance says no, so that is on appeal.

 

it is strange, I have been refractory for 25 years

and was always told to keep trying to work it out.

no one wants to eat the way I do, but I enjoy my meals.

 

a gluten free diet avoids certain triggers,

but my diet soothes the inflammation;

it may be boring, but my body craves it.

 

perhaps I have out riddled the riddler.
