The doctor was way cool. Cooler than I was, anyway! He wrote me a script for more meds and even gave me a free hyoscamine spray to use for aprupt attacks.
I now get 120 codiene a month, 120 donnatal (which I didn't fill cos I have more left), and 240 loperimide (Imodium) a month too. Plus he gave me a Rx for 3 (I know, THREE ) vicodin a month for just in case I'm in public and get a bad attack. Doctor's visit = $75, meds filled = $230.
Phew!!
I filled all my meds and was so exhausted afterwards, I slept for 4 hours only to wake up when DBF came home. BF was appalled by the size of my pill bottles, and now is really worried about how many meds I'm taking. I'm just glad to be able to eat a full meal for the first time since Monday. Yea!!!!!
Thanks to everybody for your support. I mentioned the "support group" again to the doc, and he was really impressed with how much I knew about all the different treatments. He suggested Zelnorm for me, and I had to tell him twice I wasn't C. Unbelievable, he does that every time!
I'm still a little dizzy from being dehydrated, but I'm working on that. No D now for 10 hours, yea!!!!
