Was so good to have you there with me wondered who was still wiggling ps tony you can take blindfold off now.

I'm glad its over with for you hun. Thanks for the info
Looking quite likely that it's IBD. Will wait and see though. Hope that the biopsies are all clear apart from the obvious inflammation.
Blindfold removed.
Hope the steroid helps..

theresa4

I wish tony but she said if anything showed on sidmoidoscopy id probably have to have full colonoscopy :eek: still at least I can have steroid tomorro and it will last through my daughters 18th at beginning of dec :P shame it won't last Christmas and new year too :sad:
Still 6 weeks will be so nice

well I've got my fingers crossed for you that you don't have to go through the full wotsit hun.

How long before you get the results?

theresa4

They said 2-3 weeks but my app is in 2 weeks on fri so have to ring gastro secretary and if results not back to push appointment back a week or so. Hopefully all done. By 18th at latest

tjt6768

which hospital? I requested Pinderfields but got dews instead :roll:
Pain in the bum (pun well and truly intended for the CRACK) to get to and from. I don't like driving to these appointments as I find them really exhausting and if/when they do want to send Spielberg.and the rest of his camera crew into a place they dint belong I certainly won't be driving for that one. Lol
I need to sort some transport out..

I wish you luck with some speedy results hun.

theresa4

St James for gastro Lgi for spielberg and crew that made me smile. Both are within 4 miles for me an easy 5-10 mins drive and an hour parking :shock: or a reasonable taxi my hubby runs own business so does flexi when I need escorting.
Good luck with yours tony x and thanks as always for your cheery spin on things

Theresa x x

I'm hoping that I won't be spinning on anything :shock: Cheery or otherwise. Lol
I was hoping that I would be offered either of those two to be honest but as we are quite close to wakey out of the options offered pinders isn't far at all.. Dewsbury was obviously a sooner appointment though.
Had one done a good few yrs ago now, at Otley :shock: Horrid little hospital. It's where I had my finger surgery too. I think it was right st the beginning of this choose and book service. Both times it was a huge difference in waiting times with the hospitals in Leeds.

Ain't this disease just a whole heap of fun :?: :roll:

Hey theresa, that sounds painful. I hope you get your steroid and start to feel better soon. I have inflammation in my bowel due to my arthritis, no formal diagnosis just keeping an eye on it really. It seems to affect the whole body this beast.

Hi Theresa
Gosh that was a lot of biopsies, but better that than having you back for more, I hope the steroid injection brings you lots of relief, and I will be in pocket duties when you go back for the results

tjt6768

Good luck with the steroid jab

theresa4

Well I've had my steroid just waiting for it to kick in hopefully by the weekend
Thankyou all for your support don't know what I would do without you

mig

Hope the steriod works well for you.Mig

tjt6768

well mine certainly kicked in energy wise today :shock: Just a shame my body wasn't up to using it. Lol

theresa4

blumming arthur seems to be having a fight with my steroid and causing me more pain and stiffness in my left hand today (usually worse in right) its like it doesnt want to go quietly and is staging a last stand hopefully arthur will give it up as a bad job soon.
