Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Thanks So Much Laura!!

I needed to hear that. I need to know that my life won't be this painful forever. The dr's tell me it will come and go but when all its been doing is coming lately its hard to remember it will go!

My feet and toes are also very painful. I've been doing good with my stretches and physical therapy but some days its so hard to be positive. The therapist gave me some silly puddy like stuff this morning to take with me to keep my fingers moving. The hot wax treatments feel good but only give temporary relief.

The alieve does seem to be taking the edge off much better than the Tylenol. I do feel a little acidy and just general upset tummy but nothing compared to the pain of my hands and feet. I typically eat 6-8 Rolaids a day as I used to be on prescription Previcid but stopped when I got pregnant last time. I think I still have a bottle of them so maybe I'll start taking those again while I'm taking the Alieve.

I seem to be tolerating the Placquenil ok. The first few days I was on it and when he upped my dose, I got a little sick feeling but that has went away. I just hope it starts to work soon. Thanks for giving me hope.
