Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: OOOOOUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHH

I know how you feel. I don't have any suggestions but I do have the same feelings at times. I have to take handfulls of medications everyday. I just try and remember that these are to help keep me healthy (especially when I'm taking something I HATE like steriods or an antibotic.)

If you feel that you are taking to much meds maybe you could talk to your doctor and see if you still need all of them. Maybe you can cut back on how often you take them or cut them out. Also there could be a medication that could do double duty and you could switch from two medications down to one. But make sure you talk to your DOC before you do anything to your meds. (I would start to feel better and stop taking my medication, which (of course) made everthig worse. Then I would have to go on stronger meds and I would hate every minute of it. Not to mention my family would be mad at me because I didn't do what was best for me.)

So just hang in there. Hope everything turns out well for you.
