I so understand where you're at! I have really been struggling with D and pain, and meds aren't helping a whole lot. I have also had to miss work, which I hate.
Take it one day at a time. Don't think of it as the next six weeks -- just get through tomorrow.
Be really careful about what you eat. If necessary go to plain boiled rice! Not healthy, but sometimes you gotta do it. I've been eating next to nothing in order to help w/ the D attacks.
I also take cold medicine. It makes me drowsy, and when I'm drowsy I stand a better chance of not having a D attack. My doctor says it's OK to do this, but I hesitate to actually recommend it -- just keep in mind that there may be other OTC stuff you can try.
Make sure you stay warm, too. The colder I am the more my stomach knots up.
So sorry you're going through this. It just sucks and is so not fair! I hope you can keep going. Take care of yourself.
