Turns out the worst of my painful symptoms were being caused by gallstones. After ending up in the er for the second time this weekend with unrelenting pain and nausea someone finally thought to order an ultrasound and found an inflamed gallbladder with multiple gallstones, and very likely a blockage. I waited in the er for nearly 12 hours and I'm now home recovering from gallbladder removal.

I'm a little frustrated that neither my GP nor my endo recognized the symptoms but, silver lining, that endoscopy put me over my deductible and out of pocket limit so the ER and surgery will likely be completely covered.
