Tell me about it, I have several health conditions OA, OP, degenerative spine, and all of them come with that 4 letter word PAIN. Steroid injections and Nerve blocks have failed.
What I found was regular pain meds don’t work well on Abdominal pain. And I have to deal with that too, Gastroparesis Slow Motility. Imagine taking 4 hrs to digest 2 slices of toast and 2 eggs? Heaven help you if you eat a high fiber food, IT DOES NOT DIGEST just sits in your intestines and ferments. So you get bloated, distention, and PAIN. Their brilliant suggestion is 6 small meals a day...that is what I’d call the 2/2 eggs and toast it takes 4 hrs to digest.
It eliminated any raw fruit or veggies, and some cooked ones, meats are done in the crock pot or ground, but still not comfortable eating. Next suggestion is that Horse Manure tasting Ensure. Idiots keep calling it Idiopathic Colitis for 3 yrs. I had to ask for a Gastric Delay Test to get the right diagnosis. Gastro should have known to perform one, as the symptoms did not fit Colitis.
Had a ER trip on the 11th for a flare NOT pleasant, not much they can do for you either. I’m the side effect queen when it comes to drugs. And the ER is a last resort. I’ve had to many blown veins because they are to ill trained to match IV Cath sizes to vein sizes. Mine are the size of a child’s. And if I’m dehydrated or to cold, good luck finding one.
And I hate NORCO since they took out half the Tylenol it doesn’t work.
Have you tried Boost Plus?
