Well I feel like I'm
Well I feel like I'm obligated to give you all a quick update since you all poured so much heart into your responses to me.

I got a fecal occult blood test... and the results were all clear. Doc didn't order a colonoscopy after that so I never got one. I've continued to have slightly strange things going on in the stomach though (no pain at all, just a lot of growling and some soft stools) but I'm guessing it's IBS and/or the results of just pure anxiety, which I've been having so much lately. Not really sure if I should still get a colonoscopy or not - if I do, it'll be because I'm being such a hypochondriac about the situation.

Anyway, that's all. I continue to read what's going on in your posts - please keep up the good fight. You are all so inspiring to me. Thanks.

WooHooo
So glad that things are all clear and you are feeling better. Was wondering what ever happened with your tests. So glad that you came on the board to let us know you are doing well. Continue to read the boards and post as often as you wish. We love hearing for all.

I love....
..when the new people come back to post what ever happened, thanks Jake for coming back and letting us know about your results, If it was still bothering me, and you can't get your head around the colonoscopy, maybe you ought to get one just to get a piece of mind, and clear your head so you stop having some anxiety about it. I do know of a 17 year old who had a colonoscopy, and already had polyps, so you never know, I hope you don't, and hope you start feeling better soon!

Hugsss!
