8/20/2012 I meet with Dr. Frech. It was a typical
appointment. Fill out pages and pages of paperwork. Vitals taken. Meet with the
Dr. and go over health history and discuss all the worst case scenarios based
off of a 5 minute conversation. Dr. Frech seemed interested and ordered some
tests. The first was of course lab work. The second (my worst nightmare)
another colonoscopy.
Lab work is done the same day. Tubes and tubes of blood are
taken. He is looking for markers of Celiac Disease and of course any other
worse case scenarios. The blood work comes back mostly normal. The markers for
Celiac Disease are negative. The only levels that come back abnormal are my
inflammation markers as well as my platelet level and sed. rate. Dr. Frech
decides that proceeding with the colonoscopy is the best game plan. He will be looking
for microscopic colitis or some form of inflammatory bowel disease to explain
the high markers in the lab work. Colonoscopy scheduled for a week later.
