I also tend to butt heads with my doctors. I am very pro active and like to understand all medications and the risks involved. How else can I make an intelligent decision about MY health and quality of life?
What's dont they "get" about that? Im amazed how cavalier people can be who are specialized to the Gastrointestinal field with insensitive remarks and questioning why it's not acceptable to have to be in the toilet over 30 times daily?
But I digress! lol (as I tend to do)
This is my first post and Im glad to find this discussion group. I hope its still "active".
I had Colon Cancer about 12 years ago and had a colon resection and j pouch. I have ongoing "issues" particularly with diarrhea...sometimes uncontrolled...even with lomodal. Im severely Anemic and recently had a blood transfusion. We are doing Endoscopy and just finished a Capsule Endoscopy to find any more polyps that might be causing me to lose blood. Anyhoo...lots of "stuff" but working thru it the best I can.
Im exploring alternative/natural remedies also and learning about "essential oils". Im trying to think "outside the box" a bit. : ))View Thread
