I have finally got my appointment to see an Endo, but it's not until the end of May.

As I am already taking 7.5 mgs of Pred. I can only assume I'm not a priority. Does anyone know what I can expect when seeing the Endo, I have already had the ACTH test, are there other tests to be done ?

thanks bowler

Thanks,

I did wonder if she read my post, perhaps she will get back to me.

Sorry bowler, busy day.

I was referred on for an endoscopy which I had done last week. They found only what I had told them they would find, which was pretty much nothing, so can't go any further with this.

I was annoyed - having told them I didn't want the throat spray. They used it anyway and it is vile!

Don't worry I only posted this evening,

I have recently had an endoscopy, and colonoscopy, [ I had a local for those as they were done both together ] so hopefully I wont have that to do again, they found only what I already new a hiatus hernia, but they said i had some inflammation in the stomach, a biopsy was taken, which was fine, I also have diverticula in the bowel which I have had since the 1980s,
