CT Enterography Scheduled

[OnlySunshine]

To start out, I had to calloff work today, which I hate and have only done 1 other time back in April.  I woke up this morning feeling incredibly lightheaded.  The best way to describe it is it felt like everything was disconnected and I didn't feel safe driving to work in that condition.  It persisted throughout the day until I finally decided to take some meclizine to see if that would help.  I took 3 naps today but, at 6:30pm, woke up with horrible abdominal cramps and nausea.  I realized I was really constipated and felt like I lost 20lbs after using the restroom.  So far, the lightheaded feeling has gone away and I'm feeling much better, so I hope to get back to work tomorrow.

Also, my GI doctor agreed to schedule a small bowel scan to check for inflammation as I am still having symptoms and that is the only part of my GI tract he hasn't tested, besides bacterial overgrowth (which came back negative).  I received a call from the imaging center yesterday and the scan is scheduled for Friday morning.  I had to take off work, but my boss is amesome and very understanding.  I have to arrive at the center about 1.5 hours early to drink the oral contrast solution and have an IV placed for contrast.  It's called a CT enterography and is a highly specialized test for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.  My doctor seems to think I have IBS but we discussed ruling out IBD completely before moving on.  Please say some prayers that this scan helps provide some answers.  I really want to get back to feeling healthy again.
