Oh the doctors and their PILLS!!! I just had this scenario with another doctor after a horrible colonoscopy. And I said ..SURGERY...remove this "tortuous part..fix it!!" And my boyfriend (well I'm 70 and been widowed 13 years.. he's my "boyfriend at this age..oh good grief)..said "you gotta fix her,she can't go one this way!!!" So a week later the nurse calls and says he wants an appointment to discuss my meds.. after everything he's seen me go thru and not cry I busted out crying...and told her he said he was referring me to a surgeon..no more pills!!! NO MORE PILLS!!! I lost it (I have PTSD and severe anxiety and panic attacks.. even before this all started).. .People don't realize the trauma that comes with this type of illness.. suffering daily..I finally found a pill Linzess that worked for my IBSC and the DR put a patch on my neck to stop the nausea .. shut my whole system down..now I have to take 3 biscadyls every 3-4 days to clean out.. make me soo sick.. in bed most of the time.. I was a vibrant energetic person.. Sales Rep for over 35 years 1000 miles a week.. now I don't drive..I always had alot of dogs and cats ( have an acre fenced.. they have slowly grown old and passed while I am waiting to be healed..the last one July14th ..he was 13.. I won't get any more until I'm well... this changes everything so drastically..maybe I should tell you all of this..IDK.. I just stopped talking to everyone because they say stuff like" just eat something" .."just get up and go"... still I keep claiming and standing.. I get healed of one thing and get another.. but being in this group means so much to me .. I sure wouldn''t want you to die precious.. I want you to be healed.. and I know you do to..You are so kind ..your encouragement in your comment to me made me cry.. soo sweet..I am going to pray for you.. Proverbs3;4 So thou shall find favor and good understanding in the eyes of God and man...we can both use it... can't we?..I don't know you but I love you and do so wish all the best for you
I know how you feel and am so sorry. I am hurting really badly right now and just wanted to rest. A heating pad does nothing. I am about ready to beg the doc for a bag. If our intestines weren’t there our suffering would end. Hang in there, and if nothing else try to find peace knowing You are loved.
