RE PBC on going Investigations - Endoscopy Over 😁😁😁😁

β€’28 Replies

Dear Friends

Well it's over! My Endoscopy tonight highlighted that I have a Grade 1 Oesophagtis! In order words inflammation of the lower third part of my oesophagtis ! I've been referred back to my GP for healing medication !:

So it's all good news but the cause of the possible PBC is still on going !

Again I want to thank everyone for your lovely good luck wishes!

Nighty nite all

Love Trishi x

So glad you have good news, I have had that and it is incredibly painful.the medicine will work but you have to take quite a lot of it, I had 3 different sorts. Nite!

in reply to Owlie

Cheers Owlie for your speedy reply! Yes it's quite painful!:

May I ask whilst you had this, we're you suffering with increased bloods? Higher GGT levels by any chance?

Nighty nite

Hi Trish, yes I was but I have fat in my liver as well, although GGT levels now normal. I’ve found that it doesn’t take much to affect your blood results, even the sniffles send them up! Nite!

That’s good Trishi!

My blood increased when I cut my leg. Is that the same for you?

I'm not sure on your increased bloods, did you have a transfusion?

At last I'm allowed to eat a small snack and something to drink 😁

Nighty nite everyone

Glad it's good news. Expect you're pleased that you didn't do a runner now?!! lol. Sleep well, Alf

in reply to alfredthegreat

Who’s doing a runner who who?

in reply to

Guess!

Now more healing medication for possibly 8 weeks or more to fully recover!. However that's nothing compared to what you guys are going through!

Take care all!'

in reply to

Oh YOU! I must have read big fred’s post 5 times and I didn’t get it -doh! Well 8 weeks is a small price to pay if you get fixed πŸ”§ πŸ› οΈ

Coolio, gal...

My 8 week comment only refers to the estimated healing time of my Oesophagus! My possible PBC investigations are still on going until I see my liver consultant in September

I see you have another nickname to what I call you! Pollip! Lol ! Like it

in reply to

You can call me Polyp, love. I’ve got a few of those....

Hi Pollip, It was from a remark on another thread. Trish was thinking of maybe doing a runner just before endoscopy. Said I feel like that at dentist. Bet you do now too!! lol (at dentist that is)

in reply to alfredthegreat

Cheers Alf

Sleep well too! Unfortunately I'm still wide awake!

Nighty nite everyone

Hi Trish, I’m in Aberdeenshire. Always ready to chat take care xx

in reply to P13jne

Hi P13jne

I used to live in Peterhead for 5 years and not in the prison! Lol My best friends we're manager's of the whisky distillery which was lots of fun and I worked in the oil industry!

I'm planning to revisit Slaines Castle at Cruden Bay which is my favourite spot, I have lovely memories of walking along the beach alone many times!

Cheers for letting me know your rough location.

I'm in Shropshire now which is beautiful.

Bye for now and please keep in touch

Small world Trish, I live in Cruden Bay, Jane x

in reply to P13jne

Hi Jane

I'm in total shock! All the places in Aberdeenshire and you live in my favourite place in all the world! I used to play golf there too!

Maybe when I visit you might be up for a coffee in the Kilmarnock Arms???

As you will notice my forum name is Slaines because of the castle! I'm so so jealous you live there.

Thank you for sharing this information!

Nighty nite

Love Trish xxx

P13jne in reply to

Haha I did notice your name but wasn’t sure if if was after Slaines in England. What’s the chances of you knowing how amazing our beach and Dracula’s Castle are? I’ll definitely meet for a coffee just let me know when you’re heading here. Lovely to have found you on here. Stay in touch, and take care. Jane xx

in reply to P13jne

Jane

I'm a serious believer in fate! The heavens may have brought us together for an unknown reason!

Years ago one of the fisherman cottages was up for sale when I was last there, I wish I'd brought it! Big regret !

P13jne in reply to

There’s 32 houses for sale just now. I believe in fate too, I’m looking forward to meeting you. See you soon Trish xx

in reply to P13jne

Cheers Jane on the 32 Houses but must admit that's a lot of houses for sale for such a small place! I'm guessing the depletion of some of the oil companies had a knock on effect maybe?

My ex husband was the plant manager for the Power Station back in the mid 70's.

Anyway this forum is not for general chit chat as we'll be getting told offπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ nighty nite for now

Bye

Trish

in reply to

Hi Jane

Feel free to PM me! I've looked at all the houses for sale on the web! I might just rent or book into the Kilmarnock Arms again for a few days.

How are you coping with PBC?

Bye

P13jne in reply to

Hi Trish I’m still trying to figure this lovely disease out😜 but this forum is brilliant for helping ease my worries. I’ve been a bit poorly for a wee while. But hopefully will start to turn the corner soon and get my strength up. How’re you doing. Xx

Hi Slaines1952,

I can't speak for others, but I enjoy seeing the occasional chit chat here. Especially when speaking of places I've never been.

Wishing you both an enjoyable visit and wishing I could barge in.
