Hope

I am beginning to have some hope that my GI problem might at long last be solved. I had an ERCP yesterday that cleared stones and stuff from my bile duct. So far, I have not had any abdominal pain or discomfort at all, even after eating. I have lost a 24 pounds since last December because of the discomfort. I'm glad to have lost the weight but it has been a pretty awful way to do it. So far, so good; just keeping my fingers crossed that the problem is solved.

I read your comment on my blog and totally empathize with you! Has you knowledge as a pharmacist helped?

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a medication for whatever the heck is causing all this. The ERCP has helped and I am grateful for that. I'm beginning to feel like I am failing my doctors by not leaping up cured.
