    Hi Paula, I've the same problem at the moment (they think mine is chrones or colitis) I was referred to the hospital on Thurs 11 September and got my letter exactly 2 weeks later but the appointment isn't until 27th November! :-( I have asked to be put on a cancellation list which you should do once you've got the letter. They may not do the endoscopy either, the letter is an appointment with the gastrointestinal department who then decide whether to do the endoscopy or something else.

    Keep a food diary too as it could be food setting it off.

    Hope this helps x

    Hi Paula,

    Sending you a hug, the waiting game is awful.  In New Zealand you can end up waiting longer.  When I was waiting I did everything I could for myself in healthy living.  eg black raseberry powder is meant to be amazing.  Private message me (anybody can) if you want to know where to buy from, hard to find.  I tried writing the website but this website delected it.  Also look at grape seed extract....amazing for this part of the body.  Can buy from same place.  Drink loads of water too, lots of research two glasses and then 2 hour break before breakfast is one of the best cleaning systems.  Keep busy looking after yourself while, big hug.

      Hi Paula, well done!  That was an awesome thing you did, camped at the doctors as I agree all you feel like is a number not a person.  You need to be pushy.  I actually borrowed money to go private as the waiting list is too long HERefor the endoscopy....

      I bet you are drained.  I hope you have a suportive family who are looking after you in this "what is happening and how serious is it" chapter in your life.  I know it is soooo stressful.  Consider getting some sort of sleeping pills because I am sure you struggle to sleep being stressed and drained.  Do try natural things, lots of people have and made a big difference.  Drink water. bIG hUG!!!
