hope it works out in for the best. Maybe if you could make yourself cry it might get some sympathy?

The doctor was way cool. Cooler than I was, anyway! He wrote me a script for more meds and even gave me a free hyoscamine spray to use for aprupt attacks.
I now get 120 codiene a month, 120 donnatal (which I didn't fill cos I have more left), and 240 loperimide (Imodium) a month too. Plus he gave me a Rx for 3 (I know, THREE ) vicodin a month for just in case I'm in public and get a bad attack. Doctor's visit = $75, meds filled = $230.
Phew!!
I filled all my meds and was so exhausted afterwards, I slept for 4 hours only to wake up when DBF came home. BF was appalled by the size of my pill bottles, and now is really worried about how many meds I'm taking. I'm just glad to be able to eat a full meal for the first time since Monday. Yea!!!!!
Thanks to everybody for your support. I mentioned the "support group" again to the doc, and he was really impressed with how much I knew about all the different treatments. He suggested Zelnorm for me, and I had to tell him twice I wasn't C. Unbelievable, he does that every time!
I'm still a little dizzy from being dehydrated, but I'm working on that. No D now for 10 hours, yea!!!!

Vicodan (sp?). Just curious. I think I've heard of every med ever made for IBSD and I haven't heard of this one, might be helpful to me I'm glad you got it all sorted. I can't believe you have to have a prescription for Donnatel and Codiene! If I need codiene I just pop some extra strength panadol and I get the codiene in that! DH always says he wonders when I'll start rattling too with the amount of stuff I take every day just to get out of the bathroom Glad to hear you have them all and are on the way to recovery

Vicodin isn't really an IBS med, it's just a really strong narcotic painkiller..can be helpful for killer D and cramps though

how little doctors know about medications or just don't plain listen. To suggest Zelnorm for "D" is just plain ridiculous. This is why we have to stay on top of our symptoms and the treatments that are out there. I once had a GI (who's long since been dismissed) give me Nexium for my D!
Anyway, Nelly, I am glad you got the medicine you need. Hang in there. I myself, just had a bad attack this morning but that was my own fault!

Yes, I hear us men get "selective hearing" after we get married! But, it is only a trait that comes about after marriage.
