Hi Lisa,

I'm glad you got the appointment earlier! Hopefully the endoscopy will get you the answers you need.

Since your doctor's office hasn't been in touch with you about the the endoscopy, you may want to refer to our guide to endoscopy for more information on the procedure and what to expect.

Let us know how it goes. I hope you are feeling better soon!

I have had the procedure you are about to do several times. Nothing to be frightened of. I am taking Aciphix for my GURD problem. Tried everything else, nothing worked for me but this expensive one. I got put on the belladonna when I started to get weaned of my pain killer prescription drug-morphine. The stomach pain and cramping was painful. The barbituates in this drug will give you the symptoms of anxiousness, tingling, etc. Usually during the coming down from it. I suggest you do like me, ask them to start weaning you off it. It's a dangerous drug like my morphine...real hard on the body, messes with everything.
