...I have to go Friday morning and have an endoscopy done. But before then I have to quit taking any anti inflammatory drugs. I depend heavily on them for my joints not to hurt. I am down right miserable. I know it is just one more day I have to get through but it is seriously to the point where I just want to lay down and just cry. I doubt I'll be able to sleep tonight or tomorrow night, so there will be that on top of the pain. Ugh!!

Hmph! I typed out this big long supportive reply and now it is GONE. (GRRRRR!)

Just know that I am thinking of you and I hope things aren't nearly as painful as you are afraid of. :hug

I'm sorry you're in so much pain.

Can you use a deep heat type cream such as Icy Hot to relieve some of the pain? Sometimes it will help.

Thank you, ladies. I am much better today than I was yesterday and I only have 15 hours to go. I guess on the bright side, it's not the other end and I don't have to do any real "prep" for this test.

Oh my!! Don't bring back those memories!!! I had to do that before my hysterectomy and I was sicker than a dog from that stuff you had to drink!
