WELL SINCE MY SURGERIES IT HAS NOW BECOME SEVERE IBS.. THAT IS WHAT THE DR. SAID LAST MONDAY. I GET DIARREHIA FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND I MEAN ALL DAY LONG.. SO I AM DRINKING TONS OF WATER SO I WONT DYHYDRATE. WHICH I DO VERY EASLY. AND AT THE DRS. OFFICE HE DECIDED WHEN HE DID MY EXAM AND SAID HE COULD FEEL HOW SWOLLEN MY BOWELS WERE THAT HE WANTED TO PUT ME ON A MED THAT THEY TOOK OFF THE MARKET CALLED LOTRINEX.(SP) HE IS TRYING TO GET ME APPROVED FOR IT BECAUSE THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY THAT MAKES IT WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BE PRESCRIBED TO A PATIENT UNLESS IT IS FOR SEVERE DIARREHIA.. WHICH IN MY CASE I HAVE.. WELL I CALLED TODAY AND THE NURSE SAID IT WILL STILL BE ANOTHER WEEK BEFORE THEY GET THE APPROVAL PAPERS BACK. SO I AM ON LONOX AND BECAUSE IT IS TO JUST STOP DIARREHIA AND NOT FOR IBS IT ONLY WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME..
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS HAVE ANY OF YOU TAKEN LOTRINEX AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO GET IT OR AM I THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM... HELP ME PLEASE.. I HAVE WROTE AND ASKED QUESTIONS BEFORE AND USUALLY IT HELPS... SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW........YOUR FRIEND NICKY
