Guest guest Posted October 31, 2002 Report Share Posted October 31, 2002 Bill, Chuck's potassium is always checked and he takes a daily supplement. The diarrhea is a mystery to all, the incontinence is not. That is why I was so hysterical about starting the new medication Sandostatin, which is supposed to raise BP and to slow diarrhea. Chuck's been on it almost three weeks now, and it is true as billed, however, it may produce very bad effects in various organs. I was all ready to start the first injection at home, with needle in hand, (after visiting the Dr's office, but only seeing the nurse), when the Dr. called our home and said " Don't do it!!!! I want to call Fealey first " . This Dr. said he's been going to do that since April. I said F---- you, I'm going ahead. This essentially blackmailed him into contacting Fealey by the next day, and now our Dr. has the proper information and is approving the shots, depending on test results in two months. I feel like one of the Sopranos. Barb (Illinois) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
