Ides, Thank you for the reply. Yes I have been checked for both Chrons and several other things. Had 2 colonoscopies, endoscopy and pillcam. Also have blood test done once or twice yearly. I would like to ask you about
your DDD if you dont mind. My Dr. said therapy for DDD of neck. But I read on computer that first they need to see what type or what the cause is. Did you have that done? If so how do they determine the cause. I am going to a internist May 5th. Have you had any experience with an internist. My daughter is 30 and having alot of the same symptoms I did at her age. I really want to find an answere for both her and I. She went to a endocronologist last Nov. and they did test then dint follow up. Most of the Drs. here do all the test then seem to just even diagnose SOME of problem but not all AND DONT TREAT THE PROBLEMS.they just send you to another DR. and I have been sent from Dr. to Dr. the last 3 years. I have left several too. My family Dr. suggested Mayo a couple of years ago but I was sure I could get help at IU medical center. Wasnt having joint pain just IBS D and schorrioasis. They would only treat IBS and sent me to a Dermotologist OUT OF TOWN of course for my skin. I am hoping this internist will help me with all. I know she cant take care of the tear in my shoulder but I talked to another lady my age who has IBS and has a tear recently from excercising. That is another question I have. Does the IBS affect your muscles? none of my Drs. have said so but Mine are a mess. Thanks all here for your support and answeres. Take care. Normal
