Hi ,
I saw my 6 th Gastro Dr in Oct at Orlando Gastric Institute.
She seems very concerned but just put me on an old Antidepressant they use for Gut issues called Mirtazipine .
We slowly up the dose to 30 mg . I take it at night .
It’s not really helping w/ all my chronic digestive disorders but makes me less depressed 😔 about them ( most days ).
I still take my Ambien to sleep and sometimes.50 mg Klonopin which I’ve taken for years .
I’m a yo/yo ,
She wanted me to take IB- Guard and like Metimucil but I was getting pelvic pains so I stopped .
Today I’m just a mess , 1000’s deep wet sewer tasting burps , urge to run to bathroom 8 x , non stop churning gut .
I barely ate much today too .
I don’t know 🤷‍♀️?
She wants to redo my colonoscopy early next year.
I’ve got 7 diagnoses but really anything I’ve tried ( which seems like everything) hasn’t helped me much .
It’s so frustrating as you know !
Really sucks the joy out of life .
I go day by day , hour by hour .
God Bless you …
