Yes it is a high dose of Aleve. I am IBS-A but mostly D so I have to take 3 immodium AD with it. That is why I only take if absolutely necessary like when a migraine attacks. And I usually have to follow up w/ NuLev which is an anti-spasm thingy??
Effexor XR is an AD and it is supposed to help w/ IBS and the Fibro but I didn't notice any difference. And as far as mood changes it didn't effect me either up or down. So I stopped taking it.
I have to take kids to school in a.m. so I get up at 6:30 and then after I drop them off I have to go to work. So I need something that helps me sleep but doesn't make me groggy. I have a follow-up appt. today w/ doc will discuss sleeping issues AGAIN.
You are right about Fibrohugs I thought it is to hard to navigate not user friendly buy I think LauraSue said she posts over there. So I will try it. Maybe Heather could add another section to this board for IBSers w/ Fibro or actually I guess that should be Fibromites w/ IBS b/c I read the IBS is a symptom of fibro but not all IBSers have Fibro. If that makes sense??
Just curious are you not working due to the fibro or are you just between the last job and the one where you will work at home? I thought I read that post somewhere about you working from home??? I would love to work from home w/ this darn fibro, I am working on that goal.
