Hi Kree,
Thanks for the info fr. your Mom. I think he's good too, but still don't understand why he didn't do other tests!!! Blood, stool,etc. I barely got any time w/him tho.... Maybe, he was just extra busy on those days...!!! Who knows!!!??? No....doesn't have the best bedside manner . LOL
I had heard Merzel was good.....but it takes forever to get appt w/him too. No, I've never seen him.
I called on an IBS study being done here:
QUOTE" Irritable Bowel Synd. We are conducting a clinical research study for women who suffer from severe d-predominant IBS. Must be 18 yrs old, suffered from severd D-predominant IBS for at least 6 mos. & have failed conventional IBS therapy. All office visits, medical evalustions & investigational medications related w/be provided at no cost .
for info contact: Debbie Corcoran Rochester Institute for Digestive Diseases & Sciences, Inc. (585) 399-7011"
Soooooo, I called and an Elaine called me back. Very nice & informative. I couldn't be in the study now as we hope to go to FL soon.......but did ask abt an office visit & she said they are usually 6-8 wkds out but I could call for an appt. I REALLY LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE I WAS HAVING THO.
I did call and gal in office.....after I mentioned talking to Elaine, said she would ck w/Elaine and get bk re an appt. When I called back she had checked and I got an appt in abt. 1 week...!!!!!!!
This is a DR.Wm. Chey at Genesee Hospital, 325-2390.
I would definitely try calling the STUDY # 1st & see if it works out for you. Guess they will have studies in the spring, etc. too. I see fr. looking under WebMD that he has pretty good reviews!!!!
I don't know which type you have, but you may want to try this. GOOD LUCK if you do!!!!!!! ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif)
