Thank you. I am sorry, it sounds like you have many problems, too. Getting older is better than the alternative but, damn, I am tired of it.
I knew old people had health issues, but I never thought I would be one to have them. I would not mind seeing these doctors if I could get answers, but so far, they have not found what is happening with me. I looked at my health record and counted 36 tests they have run on me to find nothing. When a new doctor looks at them, he would think I had nothing wrong. I think it is a gastroenterologist that they want me to see next. I do not know if that will be the same kind of doctor who wants to do a colonoscopy, but I think they will be different doctors because they gave me 2 different phone numbers.
Not all gastrointestinal doctors are surgical. If you haven't seen either the surgical reference may be able to tackle both issues. My issues are all, thankfully, diagnosed. I know I have gastritis, migraine, osteoporosis, and thyroid nodules that yearly get scanned. I'm sorry no one can get to the bottom of your suffering. My son and sister have both dealt with things that go undiagnosed. Both of them also have behavioral issues, anxiety and depression. And sometimes illness lies hidden and doctors can only rule out problems by all the tests. Sending prayers. Take care and one day at a time.
