I completed the first step and made an appointment with a doctor. It was scheduled for mid July. At first that did not seen far away until I had diarrhea for several days. I called and got an appointment that same day. I may be anxious about doctors but when I am sick I will bite the bullet and go. The doctor wanted blood tests and an endoscopy. At first just knowing I had to have the endoscopy set me on ten. I was ready to freak out with fear but then I took a deep breath and focused on the fact that GOD did not give me the spirit of fear. Well, I actually did freak out, then I focused on the moment and went to the lab for blood work the next day.
I seemed to be propelled forward with the need to overcome fear and to get this over with. So I set up the appointment for the endoscopy for a week later. In the days following that I have been up, down, sad, anxious and happy. I was elated because I felt like I had accomplished a great feat in just going to the doctor and the lab. It then hit me, if I am diagnosed with celiac disease I would have to give up all wheat products. My thoughts began to go over the extensive list of products with wheat in it. It overwhelmed and saddened me but I will not let that stop me from getting answers.
Instead of becoming paralyzed and doing nothing. I just keep telling myself to take one day at a time and I will have my answers shortly.
