Blue Cross denied the pill cam even after an appeal by OHSU, so my doctor appealed to the maker of the device, Given Imaging and they provided one for me at no cost! OHSU is donating the doctor time to read the results once this new study is completed and hopefully there will be more information and possibly an answer finally after 2 1/2 years of living sick without a diagnosis.
I just wanted to thank both Given Imaging and OHSU for working together and getting this done for me. I don’t know anyan answer finally after 2 1/2 years of living sick without a diagnosis. I just wanted to thank both Given Imaging and OHSU for getting this put together for me. I go in Monday to ingest the camera, this makes number 5(!) that I have done. I am praying that it will give my doctors enough information to move forward with a viable and working treatment solution for whatever is wrong with me.
I want to specifically thank Dr. Kandice Knigge, Heather Walz RN and Eryn (I don’t know her last name) they have been incredibly kind, caring and willing to work to get things done like this pillcam and never treat me like a “dumb patient” when I ask dumb questions.

Always good to know.
Well another brick in the wall as it were in the mystery as to what is wrong with me. It is looking more an more likely that it is NOT Crohns but some type of blood or immune disorder.
I started googling what would cause intestinal inflammation and came across immunoglobulin deficiencies. So for grins I ask to be tested and the initial test was inconclusive and the second test did reveal IgG problems which could be from a whole host of things. So I’m waiting on Pill Cam #5 which insurance is holding up to see check my intestines again. After that it looks like a referral to a Hematologist to look for Bone Marrow problems. Yippee!?
i wish i could say it was the joy of sex but newp not today. i’m off to buy some dual layer dvd’s so i can backup my laptop which after 16 months of dutiful service has failed me. or should i say windows finally puked.

Just to clear things up, the following are NOT defenses to criminal
charges:
“I thought the cop was a prostitute.”
“That crank was bunk, anyway.”
“I just put my junk a little bit of the way in.”
“I just dropped my truck off in the desert for 15 minutes. By the time I came back, someone must have accidently loaded 250 kilos in it.”
“I didn’t know that Kara_AZ_13 was really Dectective Uhall of the Tucson Police Department.
“But it was my first time.”
The following are probably not defenses to crimes, but MAY be defenses:
“The bitch ain’t even dead.” If my file contains an autopsy report, I think the professional rules of conduct bar me from advancing The Bitch Ain’t Dead defense.
“I take back what I said to Officer Friendly.” Did the cop hold a gun to your head to make you talk? No. Did he forget to read you Miranda? No. Did you waive Miranda and talk to the cop? Yes. Then no take backs, sorry!!!
“I thought it was a regular brownie.”
“It was just a butter knife.”
“I can’t believe it’s not butter.”
And now for the strong defenses:
“The cop had no reason to pull me over.”
“I was asleep, and I’ve never sleep-walked before.”
“The other guy was pointing a gun at me.”
“I’m not Juan Rodriguez.”
