Don't be scared: It sounds like the medicine is giving you the ulcers but you have great docs who are thorough. You are in good hands. Relax and trust them. Sometimes it takes a week to get biopsy results back. Your doc will help you. Call if you like and talk to your doc. Your doc knows you and your situation better than any doc here! Feel well soon!!
