Had my trip to the Gastro today and ramblings.....

I had my appointment today.  On a side note, I think the gym has been good, there has been decent movement so to speak.  So I gave her my symptoms and what I have been doing to treat.  She said to keep on the good course with the benefiber.  She gave me some prescription close to miralax.  She said it works in the colon.  So if by day three things are not moving to start using that stuff.  She told me to come back in 6 weeks if things get worse. 

Then she was looking over my file and mentioned if I still had elevated liver enzymes...Oh Snap!!  I totally forgot.  So I brought up to her my PCP wanted me to be seen by then for this reason.  Because I have untreated high cholesterol and she did not want to treat it with how high my enzymes were.  I told her I had not followed up with it because I was working on the surgery and knew this would most likely improve my situation anyways.  She agreed with my assesment.  So HAVE to come back in 6 weeks. In the meantime, she wants me to have bloodwork down to check my cholesterol and liver.  Then she wants me to bring in the results of the major blood workup my PCP did to check for the cause of my elevated enzymes. 

Today has been blah for me.  UGH!  I can not put my finger on it. Something is missing.  I do not know what yet.  I am very nauseated today too as well.  I hate nausea.  So it is time for me to be still and listen to my body, it will tell me what I need.  have a great night!

Hi ya!  Interesting meeting, my dear.  Lots of "come back in 6 weeks."  BTW, I just love the new avatar...look how beautiful you are!!!

Hey Melissa,

Glad things have been going well at the gym. Hopefully the Benfiber works well for you. I hope your blood work comes back well. Sorry you have been feeling nauseous.

Hugs....

Stay on top of thins so you get to feeling better.  Do you take iron supplements?  A lot of times that is a cause of the slow movement.  I take mine at night with some vit. C and don't have any issues at all.  You may want to try it.  Hope you are feeling better today!!!!

I can totally relate, if you read my posts, you'll see I'm going through a similar bout. I've been on everything at this point. I'm doing Miralax and Benefiber for the next two weeks, if that doesn't work, they are going to have to do a colonoscopy. He told me I will be fine as long as I'm not vomiting, once that happens, then its trouble. I hope we both start flowing properly SOON!

Keep up the good work at the gym,
A

Melissa,

Glad you got to see the dr and things are going ok for you.  Hopefully the six week follow up will show all results are fine.  Keep on top of it...the liver is a delicate thing.  My enyzyme count is off, too.  I am almost ready to go back in for my recheck!
