Saw the GI doctor today after the butt camera thing. Ya, so I think he even said that my flare ups ain't even food related and it's a extreme case of "The" autoimmune issue they call UC. Apparently I had to give more blood to the lab today. Just to expedite some "Infusion" drug he wants to put me on. And after several weeks of high dose 1 hour infusion treatments. Then I guess I'll be living with every 2 month treatments.

I don't know how I feel. My wife has back bone issues. So I have to act strong. But I don't know..

I know it ain't the worst thing in the world compared to what others cope and live with. But that thought alone, pisses me off. This corporate sickness business investor scam. I had no cause or cure for my Bells Palsy, and now this. No real cause or cure. Why cure anything? Where is money made from cures? Our wood TV lasted generations. One time buy. My childhood Zenith TV I think still works today if I knew who bought it. Pisses me off.

Can't wait to see what insurance covers.

Auto immune.... So that's a sale pitch to do what they say or your body will eat away at itself? So if SHTF and you can't get your Infusion Treatments... ?

With all the drama and noise we hear about on the news. I think this American medical Business. Needs to be taken apart. In America we blame illegals for our rising insurance prices. But does anyone look at how often the want to charge your insurance? 7 think these medical businesses are jacking up our insurance rates PERIOD.

Less money is made from a cure it fix. But a treatment... My GI doctor said people live many years living off this infusion drug.. oh I bet. We are the cattle and our social security number is our Ear Tags.

I'm so not happy. 50 years I avoided doctors. I went to her s and clean foods for all my care for the past 50 years. And before anyone tosses it back at me..

. I know others have worse issues and make the best of it. Just as my wife gets more and more bulging discs in her back bone as each year passes. But "THIS" SHOULD make patients irate (mad). We live near a retirement community. So I see all groups sturugle. But for me. It's a really hard pill to swallow right now.

He was shocked when I asked about a Colostomy bag. I'm really Anti chemical use. I pushed assuming I was of some religion. And I laughed and said I'm more Native American fallowing or Taoism. Telling him I trusted nature for 50 years. Never bad a normal doctor for 50 years. Till the last week of April where just pooping 10 times every night was cramping painful pain too this day.

Though, now that I'm on my last week of Prednasone. I only have poop hell 2-3 times each night. Which I wonder if was caused by the prednasone. Being that the week of 40mg night poops were utter hell. But now down to 1 10mg pill it's only 2-3 sometimes bad. But that's a lot more sleep.

Makes me question why he wants to rush this new Infusion lifestyle.

It's a good thing I procrastinate. I also was told 8 should go to the ER for blood and iron as my Hemogloben is pretty low. And I feel the lack of stamina. After 2 months I think I may give in for a blood and iron transfusion. I don't trust it. But love is what you do for your family.

Wow I ranted. My wife and her arthritis and bulging discs. Our extreme autistic daughter. And now dad is being forced to swallow this new pill. Lord oh Lord.

Cures and treatments need to be protested. what makes more money? A 1 time fix. Of a lifetime treatment. Wish I was 20 again. With today's views.

It's a long story. But I know when it was starting and how I hahaaha really walked it off till it was too late. From the day Id have blood in my stools after having foods with lots of pepper in it. Now I been bleeding in every poop and I wipe and see more blood than poop on it.

I avoided doctors all my life. And now.... My age hits me where I had no choice but to see the IG doctor. He says, stage 3 UC. Telling me its extreme. Oh Lord help me haha. The chores of pooping. I guess he scraped some pullups. Because I can feel my food movement better? It feels like my square shaped large intestin will get filled. I'll begin to feel a lot of pressure build up. I'll rolll my eyes as I head to the toilet. It feels kinda like my large inteston is working half assed? It's like that kinda square pattern it has. It feels like each straight run is working one at a time. OMG sometimes I have to wipe, get up and walk and move some. To get the guts moving some. To go back and have the second straight run to empty. And repeat till I don't feel any pressure on my belly/intestines.

Wife says once you got it. It's forever. Is this really true? I'm 300lbs. Why couldn't I had become diabetic. Still gotta wait for a fallowup meeting. But right now if love to just poop normal again. I'll cry about this new lifestyle change, once my butt hole stops trying to hemerage a hemroid when nothing is coming out. But it wants it out. But it's like my pipes don't want to push the blood clot style poops I now seem to have out.

I guess Stage 3 UC is bad? It's really making it hard at work. Called off too many days. First ER visit, my Blood Levels were a 11. But being young still I went home and took 2 weeks to heal myself holistically. Talk about a dumb move.

But here I am, took till 3am to get that last spec of gas/blood clot poop pressure out my tummy/colon. God, I try not to push poop. But the body wants to. So I try to control the body making me want to push. They say they have no real cause for this issue. But reading statements like that online. Ticks me off.

Last month I got Bells Palsy. This month, found a new distraction to any Bells Palsy issues. 2 issues with ni real cause. So I gave in.... I got my first Primary Care doctor set up. I guess at 59 is when I'll be paying into the corporate medical corporations money making routine visits. Lord help me.

But I know I ain't alone or special. So I'm introducing me as the FNG to the group.

Now that I read I can't eat any oranges when taking my Prednazone. I guess I'll see about taking it with Greek plain yogurt? An entire bag of oranges is going to be trashed? All the GI Doc really told me when I woke was "No Creams". Anything else till my fallowup appointment has been internet research.

Great diet plan. Freaking awesome. Eating ain't worth the pooping "routine". Uggh

Well that's my 3 am, tiny gass/poop/blood clot release I went to bed with in my gut and it woke me at 3am to tell me to let it out and tear up my butthole again. I guess I'll be losing a ton of weight. Saggy skin here I come.
