Good plan TD  :)  Please do let us know how you get on.

Hopefully when the tests come back fine it may be worth considering uping the pumps. I started on half a patch and this improved my headaches and dizziness but stomach issues persisited. After increasing to a whole patch my symptoms improved dramatically. Seems too much of a coincidence, not to have been estrogen related. Let us know how things go x

Thanks W,

I do try to see the funny side of my moony issues.

Still a little scared though,

I mean the Doc's job description needs some work....Colorectal..... sounds like a very angry prehistoric dinosaur that's going to eat you up at first sight.

TD are you OK?  Can't remember whether colonoscopy, sigmoid or what for you yesterday.  The former could leave your internal bits in turmoil/crampy for a few days, but it will pass. In one way or another!

The sugar, the wheat, the fat in cakes CLKD - can all be pretty hard on the digestion.  Especially the older we get!  Don't shoot the messenger though  ;D
