- So I have come to accept that I might be in a flare after many years of not having one. So I am at a loss for what exactly can be done for it. My Reumy was pretty confident that my Plaquenil was keeping things in order. But I ran into some...
- So, had the Endoscopy and Colonoscopy. Didn't really uncover much. Some mild diverticuli. In the stomach, it looked good, but there was some "Mild Gastritis". OK, with all the stomach issues, I was expecting, Major Flaming Gastritis. So I'm not...
- So I have Lupus. Started many years ago. For 5 years, I felt AWFUL but they could find nothing wrong with me. Then my Kidneys started going down and low and behold I had 'Vasculitis". 10 years later my current Rheumatologist calculated that I...
- Well, at 12:30pm CST I have my colonoscopy and endoscopy appointment. I am very nervous, but didn't cancel. I am looking forward to getting on the other side of this. BP was up this morning (I'm sure it's nerves) and I am light headed bad. ...
- Well I'm on my way to my tests tomorrow. I'm on clear liquid and looking at the cleanse in about 4 hours. However, last night my sinuses started burning signaling the onset of a cold. Could be allergies I suppose, but something going on. My temp...
- Have any of you had this done at the same time. I am next week. Having never experienced either, I have a little angst. Any words of encouragement for fellow sufferer? Give it to me straight...
- I'm another newbie to the site. For the last few weeks, I've been dealing with stomach pain and the some const. Started with the Acid Reducers and then moved to having a CT scan of my abdomen yesterday. Of course, as these things work with me,...
- So I am gathering that pain in the actual stomach area just below the ribs where the ribs meet, or slightly below...is not IBS. Is that correct?
- They are starting the process of checking things out. Not too excited about it. Doesn't sound pleasant.
- I have to say that normally on Sunday night, I have trouble sleeping. Of course it's to do with getting up to go to work, but what exactly about it I am unsure. Could be having to be so far away from the weekend. The whole gearing up to go to...
- First I want to say hi and thank you for taking the time to read this. Weird to be throwing this out there so publicly. I have dealt with anxiety since I was a young child. A little boy sitting in the locker room afraid to go into the pool for...
- I actually found this site when I went looking for Gastric issues. Then I found all the support groups. I have been dealing with Lupus for a number of years. The last 10 have been very calm and steady. This year I experienced the passing of my...
- Do you drop weight like crazy with gastritis? I haven't been eating much and continuing to get exercise through walking. Dropped like ten pounds the last couple of weeks. Just shocking, but not a disappointing result as I have plenty to spare. ...
- I just found this general site. It's been helpful to tap into others experiences. I have had very well controlled lupus. Plaquenil has been a game changer for me. Recently I have developed what I think could be an ulcer or gastritis, but when...
- I have been dealing with something for the last few weeks. 23 days to be exact. Mostly has been a burning in my stomach area, with mild nausea. I am tired, deal with odd bowel habits. The doctor has me on Zantac 150 two times a day. I take a...
