I just came from a doctor visit and am slightly confused and a little on the depressed side of life. I am sure I will get over it once I understand things better. I suspected my celiac disease was "acting up" again , so I scheduled an appointment only to discover that my kidneys, lungs, ears and throat are fighting off infection. This I can handle with the proper antibiotics. It is the dreaded "suggested" colonoscopy for people over 50 ( that I had managed to avoid for 2 years ) that now looms in my future. However , I know that celiac can assist in the development of over diseases. Therefore, I know that it would be in my best interest to have a colonoscopy. Oh well, I guess since I don't mind endoscopies, I can look at a colonoscopy as this only in reverse. We must do what we must do and there are brighter days ahead. I will charge on. Downward and upward so to speak. : )
