Today, my GI specialist said that the abdominal pain that I suffered back on 5/23 was more likely diverticulitis than adenitis. So, confuse me, already! I don't exactly fit the profile, and I've never experienced anything like this before. Nonetheless, I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy in early August, so that they can literally see what's going on in my abdomen.
Oh, for joy.
Meanwhile, the good doctor prescribed a pain killer that I was told I could take while on the marathon, just in case I have another attack of whatever this is. The only problem, according to the pharmacist, is that it's a narcotic and can cause drowsiness. When she said I shouldn't drive when I take it, I jokingly asked what about running a marathon. I just might not feel any pain, LOL!
Sometime this summer, I might have a final diagnosis of this mysterious and aggravating issue. I'll be back...
