Thank you all for sharing, and thank you AZ for the article. I read the first part, will read it all later today.
If you have read/followed my topic "colonoscopy in 2 weeks" you know why I am asking.
Today is day 7 of stopping all UC meds. I thought by now I would be in bad shape. I'm doing fine, if not better...I will have my colonoscopy on April 25, to hopefully determine what I really have. Last scope pathology report did not confirm doctor's report. Doctor diagnosed me with UC. Pathologist says, indeterminate. New GI says, lets try to figure it out. If nothing shows, my guess is the new GI will not believe I had UC. That sounds good to me, but what if I have it, am in remission, then one day it will very most likely come back.
Or, I don't have it, will not be put back on meds, which I think had me tired and lazy, not much motivation to do everyday stuff. I'm back to my OCD self, and I like it!
I'm just rambling, thinking about it all. I'm not worried, stressed or losing sleep over this. Whatever happens happens. I find it very interesting.
Like others have shared, my faith is in God, He's got this. But He gave me a mind to think with, and common sense, at least I hope :)
and I like researching, journaling, and knowing what is going on!
-- I said I was OCD! :)
