Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 , Thank you for asking about Max. He is feeling better. Part of it is that he emailed Dr. H. about his discomfort and she confirmed what I had told him: The Zelnorm is making his stomach and intestines contract to move the food through more quickly. He has a lot of scar tissue from his previous surgeries, so his stomach does not float freely as ours does. The scar tissue holds it down in certain places. This makes him feel the contractions more than you or I would. Even though I told him the same, he was relieved to hear from Dr. H. I understand. Besides, he needs to take a more active role in his care, so I'm gald he emailed her. Now if she would only respond to MY emails that quickly - or at all! For the next couple of days, Max will stop the Zelnorm to see if it makes a difference. I think that once he sees that there indeed is a correlation between his " pulling " and taking the med, he will feel better about it. He worries so much! I really can't blame him, though. Time to get back to work in 5 minutes. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
