I had never taken it before, but it does the trick. At least stops the spasms that are so painful. I have experienced dizziness but assumed it was because I wasn't eating.

The doc called today and said they had found infection in my sputum...which of course is going through my digestive system as well. That with enough stress to cause a irritable bowel situation may be the answer to everything. I started on Levaquin. They have not identified the exact infection but are doing cultures. I have to go in for more testing on Monday. Aaaargh.

You know, , this sickie stuff just gets old! I cannot find of bit of humor in it anymore!
