My first ever clean scope
For the first time in seven years, I had a clean scope. Esophagus normal and colon only showing a couple mild ulcerations.
Nearly two years ago, I was bleeding out my butt and losing serious weight with a severly inflamed colon. Today, I'm sporting the healthiest pipes i've ever had. Don't mean to gloat ... But I'm so happy that I needed to share. You all lift me up when I've been down and I owe all of you so much. The tips and support here have helped tremendously. And for those of you struggling, I hope this post provides you some hope. Now I've got to stay healthy.
