    I'm with Scouce on this one.  Maybe a new doc would be better for your recovery.  Hang in there and keep pushing forward.  You will get better and don't worry about being negative.  We have all been there and many times I'm afraid but it will get better as you learn more about DD and how to keep the flares at bay for you.  It's trial and error and I've sure  made a lot of errors before my surgery.  I know you are anxious to find out about he sigmoidoscopy.  Keep us informed.  Tuesday I will be 23 weeks out from my last surgery.  Doing well except for bouts with diarrhea.  I find immodium helps but working with some natural things to help now.  Will keep all of you abreast as to the results.
