It's been a long time since I last visited. I've missed all my friends here. Hope everyone is doing well.
I had to have a hysterectomy back in September and I did great for the first three months after surgery. I had absolutely NO IBS-D and NO anxiety. However, after three months of feeling great, the IBS-D and anxiety slowly started coming back. I've been battling getting the hormones balanced, and trying to figure out what will help my IBS-D and anxiety. I have an appointment with my gastroenterologist this Thursday to see what he suggests. I know the visit will go well, but I'm still nervous about it. My husband and I are planning an Oregon Coast road trip in July and am hoping to feel good by then so that I don't have to constantly keep my eyes open for a bathroom and can relax. I hope there is something they can prescribe that will help. Imodium helps, but I still have the urgency in the mornings. As for the anxiety, I had been on Effexor before surgery and was able to successfully get off of it after surgery....I don't want to go back on it again...so am trying to deal with the anxiety without medication. So frustrating.....Thanks for listening.... {{{hugs}}}}
