FINALLY!!!! have an answer

I am so happy that I am finally able to post some good news (I hope). After having horrible pains in my stomach and chest for a couple months, I finally went back to the ER last Wednesday night. The pain had become unbearable. After being admitted they had a GI doc come in. He did another EGD and found that I have a huge and deep ulcer on pouch. YEAH!!!!! I never thought I would be so happy to find out that I was so sick. I have been in pain on and off since my surgery in April. After surgery, my gall bladder went bad. I had that taken out in July. Still had stomach and chest pain. I had been in hopsital earlier because I was dehydrated and my potassium was low. They ran test, but found nothing. The pain got worse until I couldn't stand it anymore so I went back to the ER on Wednesday. Hopefully, this will fix the problem. They gave me a bunch of medicine by IV. Two days later I came home. Still don't feel anywhere close to normal, but I am getting there. The pain has lessened and I have been able to eat pudding two days in a row and keep it down, YEAH!!!!!! Best of all, I now know that I am not going crazy!!! No one could figure out what was going on, but I knew I was in pain and it there had to be a reason why. I wanted to thank everyone for there kind words and support. They really meant alot. -Ana-
