Hey Ghost , Try not to worry about it , its not a test you can "study" for! the test is not real complicated , its just a pain in the arse getting in the right position for
and if there IS something there its better that they catch it as early as possible ! all joking aside , you WILL be in our thoughts today and we'll be waiting on your update on the results ! GOOD LUCK !

Howdy Ghost,
By now, your ordeal of today is over and you're hopefully relaxing with family and/or friends. No matter what the outcome of the colonoscopy will be, at least you'll have an answer and hopefully some reassurance. Here's to hoping you have a happy and healthier 2009!

hi everyone im back. sorry i didnt let you guys know how my operation went earlier. ive been in bed resting.
the stomach pains and blood ive been having for the past year turns out to be "ulcerative colitis" they took pictures of my intestines and they werent pretty. my colon is filled with bloody ulcers. and while ulcerative colitis is uncurable they said its treatable with steroids. im lucky i found it now, because they said if it went any longer without being noticed i would have to have my colon removed.
im so glad i found the problem. im still scared as hell though because ive never had anything this serious wrong with me. i dont know what the futures gonna bring.
i know theres people out there with worse problems than me so i feel bad for being depressed over it, but i cant help it. yesterday after i got back from the hospital i kinda broke down. its a horrible feeling.

That's understandable. Go ahead and break down if it makes you feel better. Then when it's out of your system, count your blessings that it's something that can be controlled and managed. You're lucky to have found out at young age, so you can take steps to do all the right things to prevent it from getting any worse. Hopefully with the right diet and medications you'll be good as new in no time. -

i think you don't have to to be depressed over it. maybe there are people with more problems, but i think everyone would feel kinda down in that situation. you will see everything will clear up soon
you you will be well soon. hang out with us here. -

Getting bad news about one's physical condition is never easy to take bro, so your mood is understandable. You know you have a bunch of ready shoulders here to share your problems with. As others have said, the good news is that it IS treatable and that you caught it in time. Here's to a happier and healthier new year for ya.
