Officially Starting HD
So, my labs have finally gotten to the point where they've decided I need to start dialysis. eGFR at 6, high BUN, and high phosphorus point toward starting. I've had my (brachia-encephalic) AV fistula for a year. Because I've had it so long without actually using it, we've decided that it's a good

Terrified
47 years old. I had knee surgery almost 2 weeks ago and after the surgery I took the prescribed narcotics for 4 days. Every time I take these I get constipated. I started taking stool softeners (colace) and after a week nothing. I did a Fleet enema and finally 9 days after surgery I had a BM and it was

potential colorectal cancer

Hoping for some coping advice
Hi all, I’ve suffered with IBS for years, had colonoscopy, endoscopy and CT scan end 2021, all clear. Recently had proctitis (treated well) but now my bowels have gone crazy and new feelings I’ve never had!! Really bad bloating, gurgling, stomach cramps pain under left rib, going into back. IBS -

Fit rest
Does a fit test measure the blood in your stools. I remember having a stool test a few years ago and it was 113. Had a colonoscopy and all was well. Now definitely blood in my stools. I hope I don't have to go through that again.

I'm 75 years old and during a colonoscopy today, my doctor found 10 precancerous plops and one, malignant-looking mass at the end of colon.
He is confident that it is cancer but doesn't know what stage. He has referred me to a good surgeon, whose office will call me next week to set up an appointment. Meanwhile, he gave me a referral for a "CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis with PO & IV Contrast." He wants to see if the cancer has spread

Urgent please help:(
Dear all, I'm new to the group, and while this might seem like a strange question, any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm currently in Germany, but I started experiencing symptoms five years ago while in Australia. The first obvious symptom was bleeding when I went to the toilet. Then, I began feeling

Colonoscopy expierence
So I was done with my colonosocpy . I was given sedation so I did not remember what happened ... the prep was harder than I expected because I did not drink or eat anything that day . I only had sipped on few spoons of electrolyte drink and 2 tea spoon of honey because I ended up being too cold and

First time Colonoscopy
I have my first colonoscopy on Thursday the 14th. I have been given Picolax. I am concerned about the prep as my friend told me you don't have time to get up the stairs to the toilet, and I should stay upstairs after taking the prep solution; is this correct? I'm really not sure about the sedative

High platelets update….opinions please…..

ongoing health issues
As many of you know, I had foot surgery 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately, the wound isn’t healing well, so I’m now 6 weeks off my MTX and benepali. On Sunday at 1am I went to the loo before settling for the night. I had a large rectal bleed, with maroon stools and a gush of blood. Hubby was asleep, so I checked

Had results but still confused 🤷🏻♀️
After having biopsy samples taken during an incomplete colonoscopy back on 20th Jan and then having the CT pneumocolon on 8th Feb I have finally had the results read out to me by the med sec….not sure if it’s left me with more questions rather than answers 🤷🏻♀️ The biopsy results show inflammation
