- 11:14:03: In fearful day, in raging night,
- 11:14:14: with strong hearts full, our souls ignite!
- 11:14:21: When all seems lost in the War of Light, look to the stars, for hope burns bright!
- 11:14:37: Today's the day I visit the GI doctor.
- 11:14:48: "All will be well."
- 16:08:26: I have a long road ahead of me.
- 16:08:34: Is the general diagnosis.
- 16:09:23: The actual diagnosis currently being gastroparesis, the underlying cause being currently unknown.
- 16:15:31: Gastroparesis is partial paralysis/stasis of the stomach, meaning the stomach essentially does fuck all to help with digestion.
- 16:15:55: Hence why the solid food just sits there.
- 16:16:08: And then gets vomited back up.
- 16:17:08: The question is why. First, they're testing me for diabetes, which apparently goes hand in hand with celiac disease.
- 16:17:37: They're doing a whack of bloodwork and a glucose tolerance test. Tomorrow.
- 16:18:02: Then there's to be a CT scan of my small intestine to check for lesions.
- 16:18:32: And a capsule test to look for, um, problems, I guess, in the digestion. It's a little camera.
- 16:19:01: And a test to look for bacterial overgrowth in my small intestine from 8 months of gastroparesis.
- 16:19:14: And I have to stop eating solid food.
- 16:19:38: If I would like something that was formerly solid, I have to puree it. Which sounds just nasty.
- 16:19:55: Nothing high in fibre, nothing high in fat. Nothing jagged.
- 16:20:40: And apparently, I've been taking the motility drug wrong. I wish someone had informed me of that at least 6 months ago.
- 16:21:33: Also, my gastroesophageal reflux PPI, is supposed to be in the morning and not the evening, but no one told me that either.
- 16:21:54: I miss Nexium, which both made sense, and worked. But it's too fucking expensive.
- 16:22:05: Fuck Canada's drug plan.
- 16:25:37: I'm sitting in the breakroom at Ruy's work, and generally feeling shitty. I did bring a literal fuckton of comics to read, though.
- 16:26:13: I was going to go to the comic book store, but ended up just not wanting to be alone.
- 16:27:42: I think I have pretty legit cause at this point to say FUCK. MY. LIFE.
- 16:28:08: Right, well, those of you that aren't on LJ now have a general sense of what's going on.
- 16:29:18: Now, excuse me while I leave.
- 16:31:04: I'm sick (literally) and tired (also, quite literally) of throwing my opinion into the attention-getting fray, so goodbye.
- 16:32:24: I've neither reason nor patience to sit here and tweet at no one anymore.
- 16:32:58: Only reason I posted about the results of the GI visit were on the offchance @queenanthai might find it useful.
- 16:33:09: All will be well. But not right now.
