Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / October 2006Gonna Nuke Me
The GI doctor's office called. Before they get into the barium contrast, etc., the doc wants me to have a nuclear scan for Meckel's Diverticulum. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meckel's_diverticulum) I had never heard of it so had to look it up on the internet. That would be a "quick" solution if that's what's this is. It would mean surgery, of course, but then maybe all this brouhaha would be done and over with and I could get some energy back. This feeling like a weak kitten is not a fun thing.

I'm sure we'll all feel better (though not as much as YOU will!) when they figure out what is causing all of this.

Dee Tee, I have you on my prayer list for that time and I am hoping they finally find the answer so that they can fix you. I am hoping that you will soon be well and be able to do what you want to do again.

See -- this new set of doctors means you are getting answers finally. yippeeee I also think that is why you think things are happening so quickly. Nothing ever happened quickly when you were dealing with your last set of doctors -- that is unless you were rushed in an emergency. I am so glad for you that you are being treated so well now.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > DeeTee I haven't been following your posts on this subject, but I know a little about Meckel's Diverticulum. Do you still have your appendix? If not, during an appendectomy they'd have either removed it or at least let you know about it afterwards (then again, doctors sharing information with patients also varies with era/country/etc, so maybe not).

Of course, it may not have been misbehaving then and everything I've read so far says that as long as it behaves, they don't bother with it. DeeTee >> The GI doctor's office called.

Sure hope this is the thing. Googled it too and said things like mostly in men and in patients under 10 years of age but then says things like rarely shows and is found most often in autopsy. Not a good sign. Sure hope this is your problem. And if not the nuking finds what ever is there causing the bleeding. Applause to the dr. who even thought of this one. I mean since it occurs mostly in men, you could have gotten a doctor who said ' never happens in women' like they did to me when I question AS as a diagnosis for my pain. Only happens in men said several doctors. Yeah right. Aim will step up and argue against that one. Sure hope they find the problem. Duckie > The GI doctor's office called.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > DeeTee The test is Wednesday, the 18th, at noon. The GI doc has been in practice for 24 years and has only ever seen this twice, but he said the symptoms were soooooo textbook. It might be. In a way I hope so 'cause it's fixable! You know what I mean. I'm glad he's good at what he does. He did both my colonoscopy and my endoscopy. DeeTee > When is this going to happen DeeTee? Sure hope this is the thing.
