So, I survived yesterday, yay! Drank so much Gatorade that I puked, and I couldn't down it all, got at least one bottle down out of three, but thank God that one was enough!

Anyways, it turns out that it isn't ulcerative colitis, but it also isn't a virus. It's Crohn's Disease, which is a type of inflammatory bowel disease, and so many symptoms match up with what I've had the past few years. Lack of appetite is one, malnourishment is another, and the doctors had said that I was malnourished. Weight loss, of course, plays in with those, which I've had. I should be anywhere from 95-100 pounds, and the most I've ever weighed is 86. Oh, fatigue is also a symptom, which I definitely had! So, many things are making much more sense now.

So, I have a chronic disease. But, I'm not worried about it. My God is a God of wonders, and I believe that He can heal me if He so wishes. And if He doesn't, then I trust that He has a plan and a purpose, and I believe that good will come out of it.

Next Friday (I believe it's next Friday, at least), I have another appointment with my GI doctor, and he's going to have me swallow some pill thing with a camera in it, that way we can see where the disease is worse at. There is more than one type of Crohn's, and what kind it is depends on the location, so they want to pinpoint that to figure out what it is that I have so they can find the best treatment.

Anyways, that's all that I learned this morning after my colonoscopy! I'll tag those who have been keeping up with these!
