They ran across it again in this one a few weeks ago, but it was bigger. Now, they went back and found the FIRST colonoscopy, where they found out it wasn't there at all. Sooooooooo they want it out and want it out now. Capsule endoscopy as far as I can tell is just to make the GI doc feel better about the extent of the newly decreed Crohns which she wants to say is confined. The ct is of the whole shebang from the multiple checkmarks on the form.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642528502205683111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15403194.post-1127867277757912132005-09-27T19:27:00.000-05:002005-09-27T19:27:00.000-05:00WHAT?!

Just out of curiosity - why don't they do the capsule endoscopy first? Is the CT scan of the colon or small bowel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15403194.post-1127846825356229052005-09-27T13:47:00.000-05:002005-09-27T13:47:00.000-05:00ooh. crohn's swag. too bad the drink that goes in ...ooh. crohn's swag. too bad the drink that goes in it is icky. hopefully this procedure will help pinpoint something that can really help. thinking about you, goddess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15403194.post-1127841980232727942005-09-27T12:26:00.000-05:002005-09-27T12:26:00.000-05:00Ok, that drink just sounds *gross*.
