Thank you for writing such a thoughtful response. A lot of your statements could be applied to me. I been tested for Celiac disease and I don’t have it. I got some unnecessary surgery about 12 years ago and since then I had to take laxatives. I still have to take some but trying not to abuse . My stomach is very sensitive and just can’t take stronger opioids.Besides it gives me headaches and makes me shaky. I was prescribed various muscle relaxers but they didn’t help. I tried pregabalin and gabapentin without any success. Both made me dizzy and nauseous. Trying to listen various apps where they teaching how to live with pain. But pain is so strong and never stops- it’s hard to concentrate on anything else. I am very small person. I dropped 20 pounds since last year and no doctor can explain me why. My blood tests are semi- normal. Probably have to repeat soon. Potassium and sodium is low. Trying to take food with more potassium but sodium is bad for the bones. The most of my doctors can’t answer simple questions. Even endocrinologist who told me about sequence of my osteoporosis drugs told me that I have to use another bone builder after Evenity is totally wrong. I been reading so much and I know that most doctors doesn’t like to be corrected. I am trying to be very diplomatic and respectful but I also know that I have to be my own advocate.
