Having a Colonoscopy tommorow

Sending good vibes to you, GG, all the way from Malaysia!

Wishing you all the very best GG


Once this procedure is done and dusted, you'll be able to put it behind you and come back stronger than ever

Oce naš,
Koji si na nebesima,
da se sveti ime Tvoje;
da dode Carstvo Tvoje,
da bude volja Tvoja,
i na zemlji kao na nebu.
Hleb naš nasušni daj nam danas;
i oprosti nam dugove naše,
kao što i mi opraštamo dužnicima svojim;
i ne uvedi nas u iskušenje,
no izbavi nas od zloga.
Jer je tvoje carstvo, i sila, i slava u vekove vekova. Amin.

Well every case is different and not everyone has identical physiology but I really tell my experience to as many as people I can. Because it may help some folks out there.

I had abdomen discomfort and had colonoscopy on July 2016. It came out very clean and no abnormality.
But my digestive system is not functioning right and I always didn't feel right. No appetite, acid reflux constantly, so on and on. On January this year, I had dating with my college alumni and I took the tour of the most restaurants in this capital of world entertainment, but I couldn't finish even half of every meal.

Finally I went to Costco and got 'Omeprazol' to deal with acid reflux problem but no avail. I usually take 'acid controller' which I get bulk bottle from Costco every time I have acid problem, average 2-4 a day. But still I had tummy discomfort and started having nausea also. So I went to see a doctor he ordered endoscopy and ultra sound test which came out perfect with no malignancy.

So the doctor gave me prescription of Famotidine 20 mg and Sucralfate 1 gm. It was March this year.
The next day I went to Costco and passed by the drug shelve, and happened to read the description of the acid controller. I was stunned it is "Famotidine" which doctor prescribed me a few days ago. And Famotidine is Omeprazol also. I remember it used to be prescription only but didn't realize the bulk bottle at Costco is the same one. It has to taken only two weeks, not for long term dose. But I've been taking that since it became OTC item, more than 7 years.

I shook my head and I guessed that over taking that medicine might be the cause of the problem.
So I decided not to take any medicine and let the body heal by itself. As soon as I stop taking any pill, the first week was nightmare. Constant acid reflux, no appetite, nausea, no energy in result. Two or three days a week I couldn't eat any meal, not even one meal. And I got the craving of acid pill. But I was so determined and ready to die if that wouldn't work. After 4 weeks one day I felt really hungry and I was nearly shocked to have that degree of hungry feeling. And the meal was so delicious which I never felt for last ten years or so.

I was so excited that jumped up and down all day long. Since then I have had good appetite and enjoyed the meal. But still I get acid depends on type of food and I tried a few different vegetables and celery took care of acid stomach every time I suffered. I was so excited that I tried to explain to my doctor on next follow up visit.

The doctor came into the room and greeted me and he went through the computer screen.
And he asked me "so how is your tummy now". " It is very fine and I have no problem at all."
"Good, so did you take the Famotidine?" "No, I didn't because...."
"What? Why you don't follow the instruction?" "Because....."
"Because what, you must listen and follow what I said."
I decided not to continue anymore and said "I understand, Doc."

And this not all. I had constant neck pain, insomnia, feet tingling, and a few nerve related which MRI couldn't find anything wrong. But as of now all that problems are gone. Sleep like a baby at least 7 or 8 hours, no nerve pain, etc.

These cheaply available modern medicine whether it is prescription or not becomes the cause of unidentifiable sickness while we don't realize that. And my wife is the typical case. She started back pain then developed depression. Then insomnia, acid reflux, on and on. The medication she had took was a miles long including opiod pain killers. Finally she died one day in sleep. The test after test with top modern technology couldn't figure out what my wife's problem at all.

And I was looking back all those years she had suffered, came to the conclusion that this medicine caused her pain and it took her life eventually. The beginning of the problem which was the back pain was because of the
lack of muscle on her body.

Actually my neck pain which I had over 15 years and caused insomnia also was cured by exercising for last two years. On day I woke up with no neck pain and headache. It was weird feeling. I had little doubt. But since that day I never have had the pain at all every morning. It was about the same time my tummy got better. So it wasn't sure which was the cause, but the lack of muscle makes more sense.

Then I thought about my wife and cried all day.
She didn't had to suffer all the pain if I was more stubborn and insisted having her to do exercise. I bought all equipment thinking she might need exercising to build up muscle long time ago. She never continued.
And I suggested taking leave of absence and trying get off medications. She didn't do it.
She paid all the bills the day before she died. And we were going to hiking the next day.

I am writing this for all the people who are suffering the chronic pain and disease.
It was the lesson which cost my wife's life.
So please take seriously.

Thank you for reading.

Wow Surplus, very touching story indeed.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

More information like that needs to be out there.

You can be consoled your wife had your love which buffered her pain.

I agree about doctors just treating the symptom...I wonder, is it just part of the money machine,the pressure of the drug companies...is greed enabling and initiating untold suffering and death upon many?

GG, read your tale of being told the wrong day and having to go through the cleanse again.
