It is upsetting, discourging, depressing, and enraging so consider yourself given all the sympathy you can imagine. However, as both Linz and AtomicRose have said, better a few bad days than a few good ones. And, hey, at least no one is trying to cup us, leech us, or exorcise us.
PS - Aren't you supposed to be off at a clinic for two weeks about now?
Thanks for remembering. I cancelled this after learning some alarming information about this clinic. For $7000 I really could not bring myself to go there, especially after repeated calls asking for what program they have specifically for IBS and what their past results are got no response. This place probably does help some people, but it seen more as a "last resource" for people who have cancer and other incurable problems. I talked to a woman who took her daughter there, and although her daughter was helped, she was wary of me going there for IBS.
The first thing they would do to me is make me fast for a week, which I am not sure is very good for an IBS person that is accustomed to getting soluble fiber and trying to maintain a stable process. Then they stick a hose up the anus and force out anything inside, which I was warned can cause severe cramping and even lead to infection if the equipment is not clean. Then they give you lots of chemicals to induce "the runs" (if you havent already got them) to clear you out some more, stick you with pins, and caress your aura while dropping hot oils on your body. I just was not sure at this point that my IBS could handle this.
NOTE: I CANNOT VERIFY ANY ASSERTIONS MADE ABOUT THIS CLINIC. I AM ONLY RESPONDING TO PUBLIC INFORMATION POSTED ON THE INTERNET. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT, HERE IS A LINK.
