So I met with my GI doctor last week, and he ordered a TON of blood work. Along with *7* stool samples.. UGH, that might have been the most disgusting experience of my life. :(

Now I’m waiting to get the results back now.. If everything comes back clean, then we move on to a colonoscopy. I’m hoping they pick up some infection from my blood work, and are able to give me the meds to rid my body of it. This illness has consumed 2 MONTHS of my life, and countless dollars (co-pays, medicine, and lost revenue from my lack of work).

I’ve now lost 20lbs since this first started. I haven’t been this low since 2005, when I left my full-time job. I guess it’s true, you become a fat slob when you sit in front of a computer all day and don’t exercise. :)
