Finally found out what is wrong with me........

Had an endoscopy on Friday.......after not feeling good for 43 days......they have determined that I have silent reflux and esophageal ulcers.  

Doctor says along the way that I did have mononuecleosis and hand, foot, and mouth disease !!  I just know that I have felt awful and wasn't getting any better than I was on March 21 when this all started.

 I am being treated with medicine to help the reflux (I had NO reflux symptoms...hence silent reflux) and another medicine to coat the ulcers so that they can heal.  I go back to the doctor in six weeks to see how I am doing.  Hopefully by then I am a lot better.  

My taste for food Is improving and the bile taste is better ( or I am getting used to it) ....still eating a lot of pasta because it is the only thing that really tastes good.  I am still very weak and want to sleep a lot. 

I am maintaining the 12 pounds weight loss from not being able to eat.  I hope to get Back On Track for real in the near future.

i hope all of you are doing well.   Have a healthy day !

I am glad you have an answer.. Please take care... Hala

Mono would make you super tired... 

Feel better soon. Glad you got some answers. So rest and heal!

It's always nice to know what it is. Are you able to eat yogurt? I would find that soothing but maybe too acidic?

Heal fast.

Yogurt sounds good, but all dairy really tastes bad right now......I haven't even had coffee because the creamer I use tastes awful.......a lot of foods don't even sound good....today was the first day that I ate some fruit and actually finished it.

Glad you finally have a diagnosis - now your doctor can help resolve your issues.

Be careful with what you're eating -- pasta is loaded with carbs, and can lead to problems.  Hope you can find something better to suit your needs.

Good luck -- wishing you a speedy recovery!                                                                                                        

Glad you got a diagnosis. Take care.

It has been a week since your doctor appointment.  I hope you are feeling better now.  Let us know. Tri

Yes, it has been over a week now......I am somewhat better, but doctor says it will take two months to get well.   Food still tastes bad especially sweet things....haven't even had coffee or tea because of the taste.  It still amazes me at the amount of calories I consume even though the food doesn't taste good.  I just keep on eating !    Thanks for thinking about me.....I really do need to get back on track !

I am so glad that you have a diagnosis and finally know what is going on with you.  Even though it will take a couple of months to get better, at least you feeling better is ahead.  

Please update us as to how you're doing.
