Hi everyone,
I hope you are all coping well.
I've been to the doctor this morning. This time I wrote my symptoms down, what I've tried to do to ease the pain, what makes the pain worse, and took it with me to show the doctor. He photocopied the note, one page full and went through it with me. It's saved a lot of time. All I've got to do is do the same with the surgeon when I get a date.
I've got to have bloods done on Monday. I'm getting a full blood count, Celiac disease, CRP, and ESR.
I've been given other tablets to take along with Co-codamol. I'm not allowed to take the maximum dose and only when I really need it. My doctor agreed that endo is flaring up again along with bowel issues and symptoms are still persisting after the first lap. It looks like I'll be having another laparoscopy done depending on what the blood results are. I'm finally getting somewhere and feel like crying because I'm relieved. I hope the surgeon sees things from my perspective now and see what my surgeon says. I hope he doesn't fob me off.
The bad news is that I passed an dark brown almost black stool on Wednesday and the water in the toilet bowl was dark coloured too. It really freaked me out. I don't know whether it's due to my diet or not. It's the waiting for the tests is the hard part. It takes about a week for the results to come back.
Thank you for reading.
Annie

This is like a online pain diary.
Well I'm really having a bad flare up. I threw up 2 hours ago and brought up my painkillers and new tablet along with it. I did eat a little and that came up too.. I'm in so much pain. My pulse is 128bpm. I really don't like this condition.

Well my ESR is raised and ongoing infection with no signs such as a cold. I haven't got a temperature either. I've already had a broad spectrum antibiotics for it. I just feel sick and have been sick before the test. My TTG test came back normal but I' still going to stick to the endo diet. I really don't know what's going on. I'm just going to blame it on endo. I have found a endo specialist that does excision laparoscopy. My doctor that referred me back to gyne and waiting 6 months. I'm not waiting that long. I will go back to the doctor and ask to be referred to a endo specialist instead. Does anyone have any ideas why my ESR and white blood cell count is raised?
