After prepping to the letter my bowel not clear enough to see where the bleeding is coming from , have to do it all over again with a different prep solution ! She said it happens with some people , gas and air is mint , endoscopy not bad with the numbing sray , just gastritis and no bleeds . Says they should be ringing me this week with a new appt

Sigh

Oh, how frustrating for you! Hopefully the next appointment isn't too far in the future and you can get some answers then.

I was on something like Moviprep and it just constantly filled my bag again and again. I had to wear one of those bastards for well over 18 months.

I have been feeling really low for about three weeks for no obvious reason. This after a long period of stability. What exactly is going on I do not know. I keep hoping it will fuck off as it's stopping me from doing anything productive and I have got a short story deadline coming up fast.

I just don't know what to do with myself. But this is a good example of how you never completely smash it. It can always sneak back. It's an insidious enemy, the Black Dog.
