The result of my biopsies: at least a diagnostics!

Hi all.

Today I have received the result of my colon biopsies. It seems that I have a microscopic inflammation in my colon.

It is difficult to translate it to english, but I will try to translate the most important paragraph:

"colorectal mucosa with inflammatory chronic changes with moderate intensity in lamina propria.
The inflammatory component is formed basically by lymphocytes and plasmatic cells."

My gastroenterology doctor has told me that the treatment we are doing is ok, and he has make some little changes.

My treatment in the last month has been: Entocord, Suxidina, Normast and cromoglycate disodium

I am a liiiiiittle better in the last two days, but I still have pain and something there is waves of pain. The doctor says to me that I must accept that the cure will be like that: in a intermitent form. But I am no very optimistic, because It has been a long time with this...I am some depressed, despite the fact that a diagnostic could be a good new.

Thank you very much.

Well, you knew it wasn't all in your head, and now you have confirmation!

I, too, suffer from gastrointestinal inflammation, and I know how awful it can make you feel. It's good that they've been able to figure out the problem so they can offer you targeted treatments.

I agree with Chartreux that having hope is really important, and support can help you hope, so maybe you might see if you can get another counselor to speak with, as it seems the one you've been seeing has not been working out.

Take care!

Make sure you get a copy of that report to the nut psychologist who insisted that this was all in your head.

Treatment at last Seymour!!

So so glad you have dx !!

It sounds weird to say "Yay" for inflammation, but now you have something visible to show drs. I hope you are able to come up with a treatment plan so you can feel better. You certainly deserve it after all this time.
