I just had rheumatologist call after getting bloodwork results and he says my liver test has gone up to hold off on sulfalazine but still take plaquenil until I get more bloodwork done next week 😱 has anyone else had this ?

Hi I just got this phone last week and new to android but with my last phone I was able to keep data turned off when at home and still get text messages and download images ! Yesterday I found out I missed half my texts as I had data turned off and when I went to download said must have data turned on ! Seems weird when I’m at home I did check my message settings too
Thanks 🙏

So at 56 my arthritis got noticeably worse had a bad knee whenever I knelt or squatted or did stairs too fast but never had any stiffness or trouble getting into bathtub !
I got to the point where my left leg wouldn’t bend at all and couldn’t do stairs anymore ! Had to cut down hours from 7 to 4 where I worked retail as my kneecaps would feel like they were on fire
I got new X-rays from my pcp and he was shocked how much they degenerated in a year ! He recommended me to a knee specialist and I will be getting knee surgery next year almost a year wait as I’m in Canada but it’s covered by OHIP so I don’t have to pay anything

I had a colonoscopy in April at at time my GI scheduled my first endoscopy for July 29 but today the office called and said he wanted to do it earlier in June and is June 15 ok ? I said it was but should I be worried that he’s looking for some issues before they get worse ? I have ibs and had no polyps found in April

So I’m glad that’s over for another 5 years but really liked the doctors and nurses at the clinic !

They even give you a juice box and cookie after !

I was there for ibs inflammation and he told me what to do for next 3 months until I get my first endoscopy ! ( that isn’t bad only involves 6 hrs fasting , no prep )

They didn’t find any polyps yay !

I’m a first timer not nervous about procedure as I’ve been reading this subreddit for weeks and everyone says it’s a piece of cake but prep is a pain ! At least I have my own private bathroom not shared with anyone !

I will post after 2 pm on as I do prep for 11 am procedure tomorrow but have 1 question

My prep is a split dose of Peglyte 4 L so 2 L at 5 pm and then at 4 am

But they prescribed 4 Dulcolax too and the instructions say take all 4 at 2 pm but when I got the pills from the pharmacist she separated the pills into 2 bottles suggesting a split dose ! Should I take only 2 at once or just take all 4 ? 4 seems a lot of laxatives at once

Thanks so much for your support and knowl

I am getting one because ibs issues getting worse and this subreddit is amazing as I don’t have a GI doctor yet I’m just wondering which one of these would taste better! I will have Gatorade and white cranberry juice to drink with it

Peglyte or Colyte

Have to take 4 Dulcolax too

Really like how he has a mix of serious and light news

I’ve been having bubble baths for 20 years as the water beating down on my head made me hyperventilate

But recently my knee arthritis made it uncomfortable to have a bath so my sister suggested I get a extendable shower head and a shower stool and do that ! That made all the difference ! I didn’t hyperventilate at all and this will be a relief on humid summer days ! I can get in and get cooled off quickly !
