Well guess what - went to see Gastroenterologist yesterday re: pain under rib and burping. He suggested the camera down! I said I was really anxious about it so he agreed to do simple "stool" test to check for ulcers and leave the endoscopy if I am so worried about having it. He said that he did not think there was anything to worry about re: symptons and let him know if I change my mind about the test. Now feel that I should have said yes to the test as worrying about what is wrong with me - despite his reassurances and really worried if I do have it - there's just no hope - it's a real catch 22!! Help?
