OT: A few prayers requested.

Best wishes Jim. Do whatever they tell you for prep (I'm a "veteran" of

1 sigmoidoscope @ 27, 3 colonoscopies @ 31, 35, & 40). I have honestly found that the less I have in me, the easier the prep is. Are you taking blood thinners by any chance? My Dear Aunt had some blood count problems (after a severe bleeding incidence where the cause was never really found) -- come to find out, it was a haemroid (spelling?) that was slowly but consistently leaking blood.

Prayers & thoughts with you, Jim. Had a scare myself not so long ago but it turned out to be something very trivial that was easily fixed.

Big {{{HUGS}}} and good thoughts going your way Jim that the tests won't show any serious problems.

Mavia

Oh Jim - good thoughts go with you.

Pat

{{{{{{{{{{{JIM}}}}}}}}}} You KNOW we are all praying for you. Please keep us posted on the results of your tests, OK? CiaoMeow >^;;^<

All yours! Cheryl

First, very many thanks for all the good wishes. I will keep you posted. To answer the specific question, luckily I am not on any blood thinners.

Hoping they get you sorted soon Jim.

I was taken in hospital yesterday with irregular heart beat and chest pain. They let me loose today fortunately no heart damage.

It was Jim's birthday on the 3rd of this month. Hope he does not give me an ear bashing LOL

Add me to the list of well wishers!!!!!!!!!!

Jim! I was just thinking I hadn't seen you about lately! I do hope the tests go well and they find the cause.

All the very best Jim from Carol in the UK. Hope everything works out fine.

Regards, Carol Leather

On their way.

Personally, I feel that a request for prayer is never off topic!!!!

Good luck to you, Jim!

JAMES I WISH YOU GREAT HEALING SOON AND EASY TREATMENTS mirjam

Good luck with that. When my serious anemia was diagnosed - the internal bleeding was part of the cause. Take meds for that, and most people can be helped with the meds (like Nexxium or similar), possibly Carafate (to coat your stomach), and iron supplements.
