Apparently the medications they were to give me to knock me out and help with the pain during the procedure today did not work. Not only did I not go to sleep, I was wide awake and in incredible pain. Something about the scope getting caught in a loop as they searched around.

After all of that, it turns out to be fairly normal and the diagnosis is IBS. I have a new medication to try, Amitiza. But, I think it is for the wrong kind. I have problems with both constipation and diarrhea, but more the diarrhea as of late (but this changes depending on when we are talking about). The problems that are constant are cramping, bloating, and nausea.

Well, I'll give it a shot and see what happens. I lost 10 lbs with the "cleaning out" before the procedure today. Now if only it could stay off.
