I saw my doctor on the 24th to get my results for the MRI, Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. MRI (brain scan) was fine. Thank goodness! Colonoscopy was fine! Endoscopy did show some inflammation. Some esophagus reflux? I'm still not...

DJ Do you believe that you have it? I remember once a doctor said you are experiencing "phantom pains". Did they say how they can help you with handling this disorder?

I have mentioned this friend a handful of times in the past. Some may remember. She's the one I met at the childcare course who I did a lot for over the years such as buying her many lunches and drinks when she claimed she had no...

DJ Of all the good things, I don't like this in you. At all. Your overwhelming people-pleasing thing. How about this? You create a personal scale of strikes. For example, say you have 3 strikes. If the other person does something that really hurt you or you...

I am happy that the Colonoscopy and Endoscopy are completed. I was very nervous about the whole thing. I was worried about the procedures itself but was worried for the results. I just kept on thinking that something had to be...

DJ @VivaLaDani13 I have also adjusted my diet to not trigger reflux. In addition, I have started to walk for an hour at the least after food to help digestion. I also learnt not to lie down within 3-4 hours of having food. If I must lie down then to lie down on...

DJ @VivaLaDani13 Were you advised of any change in your diet after the removal? Since its a part of your digestive system, its absence can cause indigestion. Okay, so acid reflux is ruled out. Did they tell you what exactly it is?

DJ You can have lukewarm water or something hot like tea to soothe your throat. When you have something shoved down your throat, you tend to get a dry, sore or painful throat. I just finished watching "Wednesday" on Netflix. It was fun....

DJ @FourWalls She may have been administered Local Anaesthesia which keeps you awake during the procedure but you don't feel a thing. Like when you are getting stitched.

DJ @VivaLaDani13 You can ask them how long you will be inside. I did ask to have a sense that it has a time limit and mentally prepare yourself accordingly.
