I had my initial G.I. appointment today - her initial thoughts/hopes is
that my intestinal problems are "only" endometriosis tissues INSIDE my
intestines. I'm hoping it's "only" that too. She said she has seen it
before and that with my history with endometriosis that it is highly
likely. Of course, there could also be polyps, etc., but we are hoping
for something "simple" like endo tissue inside an organ! LOL
I LOL in jest. I'm really kinda... a bit scared. I thought 'for sure' that MAYBE it was a possibility that I had endo tissues on the OUTSIDE starting to constrict a section of my intestines - and that could still be! BUT, I never even considered the fact that I could have tissue INSIDE.
So, anyway, tissues inside - also causes a leaky gut syndrome. A leaky gut syndrome can also let endo tissues inside the intestines. Endo tissues inside the intestines can also cause problems with food allergies - gluten intolerance - fibromyalgia or fibromyalgia-like symptoms. It's all related! I'll be happy to know what's going on in there.
So, next Wednesday I'll be drinking the "stuff" and Thursday I'll be under the scope! It happens to be Matt's birthday that day too. In 2006 when I had my big surgery - the date was decided on October 4th - my surgery was the 10th. In 2007, I relapsed on Oct. 6th'ish. In 2008 Oct. 4th was, I think, normal. In 2009, October 10th I was hired at the library, so that was a GREAT year!!! I don't remember anything to significant about 2010 and 2011, but now 10-4-2012 will have another surgery on it. I hate ruining his birthday!!!!
