When you are first diagnosed with ANY type of chronic condition, some of the first feelings you experience are anger, denial, sadness, fear, etc. Its a process of grieving. You are grieving for the person you were before the diagnosis. You want life to go back to the way it was before. The likelihood of that happening is probably zilch. So now you must figure out how you're going to deal with the newest card Life has dealt. You might have seen it coming. I didn't. Well, I knew something was wrong. I didn't want to think it was majorly life threatening. My bad! After I had the colonoscopy in January of 2004, my symptoms of thirst, hunger and fatigue left me.......I thought.........for good. I know now I was in the Honeymoon stage. Some honeymoon. Usually, at this point, people have already been diagnosed, and they are prepared to deal with this temporary break. Mine lasted two weeks. After that, it was all downhill from there.
