Is there anyone out there who has ever spoke of the disgustingness of this

symptom.

I am losing my mind. I had about 12 hours of calm and then all hell broke

loose again. I mean I just waxed my floors because the house is being shown

tomorrow and here I am dripping all over the place. I can't sit on the bowl

all night ... my legs fall asleep. I did take two immodium and am going for

the third. Tomorrow is Sunday and church and I am working for my friend Jan.

I really am ready to cry.

Do you think it could be my nerves from waiting to sell the house?

Go ahead and cry...we are all sending cyberhugs for you...feel the warmth??

It must be terrible for you...I know it's pretty disgusting here, too.... 6

wks. w/o a break, is just too much for any one person.

You know it certainly could be from nerves...but that doesn't help any, even

knowing that could be the " cause " ..... I hope you have a better day today,

sweetie. Know that we are praying for you and hoping like heck you can get to

church and rejuvenate some...

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Two immodium...a third immodium? That's not a lot.

Speak to your doctor; mine gave me the green light to take 8 a day

during chemo if needed. For a few days, I was taking 8 immodium and

6 lomotil daily. I was necessary to keep from dehydrating.

for me is anything with codeine. Codeine slows down the muscles in

the bowel area. I know that one doesn't want to use codeine for this

symptom but when your are desperate as many of us are when it comes to

dirrhea, it works.
