So had my GI appointment at 8 am this morning.
She is going to try me on a different drug (Lubiprostone) to try to replace everything else I am on. The medication is for people with IBS/D IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome/disease, Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation)
She also put in for me to see the rectal surgent again.
She has looked at everything and feels like the medications I am taking are not working and wants to try something else to see if it works better. The (Lubiprostone) has a few side effects so I have to let her know right away if I have any issues or if I have issues once I stop the other medications.
She is hopeful that this will work better but now knows that things are very bad and understands that I may not be able to go back to work ever because of what is going on.
What she feels is that I might have functional IBS/D and not be able to properly process my stool due to the bowel surgery. So if we try is medication and a few other things then she will have to look into listing me as IBD with all the other things I have as well.
She also said that the next time I go to PT was going to be trying some new things which I already knew we would see if I have any sensation so she wants me to go to PT before seeing the rectal doctor so.
All it was a good visit but way too early in the morning for my liking.
