Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Hi All Have not been on in a while and took a while to catch up. I feel so lucky in that I do not have the extreme problems some of you have. I do have some of them but not to the degree you have them. I use to have bowel problems and a few accidents but after last surgery in 2000 I have not had hardly any problem. I use to have problem empty my system and some times would have to go back to bathroom several times. It made it hard to go places on time and worry about where bathrooms were on the way. Anyway that I hope is cured. Now for my question. And hear is some back ground. I do not think this is related to TCS but want to get your opion and see if anyone else has this. In 1994 I had a colonoscopy which showed I had divertuculitous or at least the pouches. Typically most people do not have this till they are older. I am 33. In 96 I had my first flair up. I get pain in my lower left abnomin. For those of you who do not know what this is, it is thin areas or bulges in the lower part of large intestines that get infected. Since the colonoscopy showed the disease that is the diagnosis of the pain. I have had about two flair ups a year and antobotics clear it up. Now I am reading and having the doctors recomend a colon resection. I understand that most have great result with this procedure and keeping this problem from coming back. What they are recommending is doing it electively so they can go in and remove diseased part and reconnect. If I did get a flair up and it burst it would be like having an apendix burst. Recovering on emergency surger is about 3 months and elective is 2-3 weeks. As of now I am going to have it done in March. My question does anyone else have these symtoms? Has any one else had a colonresection? Any other thoughts would be apprieciated. For you guys I do have problems in bedroom but Having good luck with Viagra. It was not easy to go to the doctor on but it was worth it. someone mentioned the muscle stimulators being advertised on tv. If anyone starts or are using those please let me know if they are working. I would love to find a way to build my leg back up. I do a lot of walking and standing with work but not sure if I am gaining any strength in that leg. Take care Don __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Jan, The Robitussin is the one without any other 'letters' on it. It is only Guaifenesin and no other ingredients. Most drug stores have their 'house' brand of exactly the same thing, for example, Walgreens has 'Wal-Tussin'. I'm sure Longs has a similar product.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Rhona< I was going to reply similarly to Courage. My Mum had Seroquel increased marginally (she started at 12.5 mg x 3 times a day and went to 25 mg x 2 times a day) when her agitation and hallucinations increased. That was last April. This month her doctor (on a suggestion from me) has cut her back down but changed the timing (12.5 mg in the morning and 25 mg at night). This " tweeking " seems to work quite well. --- gaat wrote: --------------------------------- Hi Rhonda, Since your dad is on a low dose of seroquel 1x a day you might want to give him the other half tab in the early afternoon and see if this helps - it should but again this is just my opinion and Lord knows I am no doctor. This way the dosing pattern we used for mom and it worked like a charm for her. Is your dad taking any meds for PD? Courage Welcome to LBDcaregivers.
