Guess who has celiac?
May. 18th, 2016 10:29 pmIt is I, the celiac-haver.
*sigh*
I'm actually much less upset about this than I might be since I've had about eight months to get used to the idea that I probably have this disease. I've already moved through denial and anger and have settled into acceptance.
I've also had some complications since the endoscopy that have taken up all my anxiety time. I've had tightness in my chest and trouble breathing intermittently that culminated in me thinking I was dying of a heart attack pretty much all day yesterday. So I moved my follow up for the endo to today and then spent the rest of the afternoon after being told that I do indeed have celiac getting an EKG and a chest XRAY.
So, waiting on those results. The doc says this may be a very rare reaction to the anesthesia. IDK I had a heart murmur as a little kid, and this feels a lot like that. I remember feeling like I couldn't breathe, not as if my airway was obstructed, but as if the quality of each breath I took was terrible. I would make myself yawn every 30 to 90 seconds so that I could get a deep, satisfying breath. That's how I feel now. It sucks. It is making me super tired and hard to exert myself. I have to believe that if either of those tests had showed anything worthy of a hospital admit, they'd have contacted me already. *sigh*
Anyway. I am now done whining.
