Fecal Calprotectin Level 790

Hi everyone ,

I got my test results back for Fecal Calprotectin and my level was 790 ,  i am having to get a scope done but i am absolutely terrified and don't know how to calm down and not think the worst, has anyone else had similar experiences to this? My anxiety is through the roof , i am only 19 and have so much fear. 

  • Hiya,

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm guessing it's a colonoscopy you're getting? I haven't had one but I have had ultrasounds in various areas over the years along with various other tests, the first time I wasn't much older than you are and with horrible anxiety anyway I was petrified. I completely understand how overwhelming the fear is and how it can take over.

    The only thing I can honestly say ever helps me is keeping my mind busy so I don't have time to think about it too much. I know it's easier said than done but try to distract yourself as much as you can, do things you enjoy whenever you can while you're waiting for your appointments. Talking about how you're feeling can help too, even if it's just to get it all off your chest and out in the open.

    I hope you won't have to wait too long and you'll soon have good news.
