It's hard, VERY HARD, to live this this but I WILL NOT let surgeons go in again until I'm a complete basket case. I just have to take the pain meds & my muscle relaxers daily. I've come to grips w/that. And the meds for the depression & anxiety. They've also started me on Levbid 0.375 mg. (Hyosscyamine: generic name) for gass pain & bloating due to IBS & spactic colon. I take that twice/day when the bloating gets too painful, she doesn't want me to just take it daily. She explained, when I told her I had Phazyme @ home, that any over the counter gas remedy work only on the upper gas, not intestinal gas. The Levbid does! Now if I can only get her to realize that EVERYDAY is an adventure in pain; that the bloating is there everyday, the pain is there everyday, the gas is there everyday.
I don't believe that the drs can help me @ this point; they can only make it worse. I do worry re finding a job I can live on. Thinking re having a home-based business. That way I can lay down any time I want & I won't have to worry about what other people are thinking of me. "When a door is closed on you, God opens a window." But He works in His time, not in ours. I going to wait to find that window...
Blessed Be, Toni Karla B.
