Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 , Unfortunately, my diarrhea is a chronic condition for me, sometimes it's better and sometimes it's worse. This has been worse. The doctors have never figured out what the problem is. They blame it on my gastric by-pass, but I had the problem before I had the by-pass, so they are completely stumped. Meanwhile, I stock up on Immodium. Stress is definitely linked to it.

I have attributed it to the fact that I had started on the 2 a day Chantix pills for smoking cessation the night before --- spent the entire day in bed --- that was Christmas eve and since we were in a rural area, there was no place to go on Christmas day, so we had take out from Red Lobster on Christmas eve that dh got. I haven't started back on the Chantix, partly because I can't find the box, but after talking to two people at Pfzier, I am going to try again --- would really like to stop this habit. Hope you and Marti get to feeling better! We are getting snow here in Pittsburgh --- we keep getting some periodically but it never seems to stay long, thank goodness! Tigger, I am glad the ladies will let you join them and that you can crochet --- I guess when we move, I might find something like that --- I can do only basic stitches in either knitting and crochet -- and my one sister says I " knit backwards " --- if she would pay attention when I tie my shoes, she would realize I do most things of that nature backwards. But talking about knitting and crocheting reminds me that I have a scarf I have been working on for 2 years for nephew. > > Thanks so much for understanding.

Hope you both feel better soon --- and also that the snow stops falling in New England, although from what I have seen on the news, it doesn't look so promising. > > > Thanks.
