Lupetta (& everyone else!) I have been meaning to come on here for months now to thank for your reply to me, letting me know that Amitiza is available in Canada. It took me months to get into my...
Hi all. I have tried everything under the moon for my IBS-C, but until now, nothing has worked. I have tried Milk of Mag, several colon cleanses, the list goes on and on. I am going to see my GP next...
Sorry to read what you are going through, as I can certainly relate. I am 5'3" and weigh about 94lbs on a good day, and am 45 and have two grown girls who weigh much more than me (that is just...
Hi all, Some of you may have read my post, I asked if anyone knew if Amitiza was available in Canada, but didn't really get a reply. Any chance any of you folks on this thread who are on this med...
Hi IBS Gone Thanks for the info, your help is appreciated. I have done many cleanses before, and they work only slightly on me. While I feel like I am done with these cleanses, and need more of a...
Hi all, Just wondering if anyone knows if Amitiza is available in Canada? I am at my breaking point and am desparate for some sort of relief of my chronic constipation. I have read about the horrible...
Hey Tom Good guess, and you are bang on, I am in Barrie, right in the blasted snow belt! Grrrr....just when we thought winter had passed.....it reared its ugly head yesterday, although it was too...
Hey 73, I am about 30-40 north of Toronto. How about yout?...
Ontario, Canada...
Hey Canyon, No, it is definitely not gas, I am sure it is my stool I can feel. It is really tender to touch there too, but only at that time, other times, it is fine to the touch. I had a colonoscopy...
Do any of you ever get this "stool protrusion" right out of your lower bowel area? I am severely underweight, so not sure if I could gain some weight if this would stop happening. It also only...
Karen, nothing I can say will ease your pain, your shock, your disbelief, etc., but please know my thoughts, my prayers and my request that you and your family are held safely right now are with you....
I forgot to tell you, that every day the tipsyness, loopiness, next-day-hangover feeling get better. They really do wear off each day you take it. Do what I said, if you can. Try to take your Lyrica...
[color=blue>Hi] an hour of nausea, very mild though. The 2nd day, I knew better, I took my pill after dinner, in the evening. Slept sooo well again. Hmmm....my fibro seems to be feeling better, as...
Oh boy, bless you all down there right now. I am thinking of all of you and praying for everyone too. I hope rain and some wind is all you get, and not strong winds either. My fingers are crossed, my...
Congrats on the weight loss!! Not to provide too much info to you gals, but my first baby was 5.5lbs. so a little less than what you just lost, and let me tell you, that was a heap full of baby...
Hi Lisa, we are experiencing the same side effect. The first day I took my Lyrica, I did not need wings or an airplane, I was just flying solo all on my own! Whew was I high, but like you, I didn't...
Hi Keriamon, and thanks for the reply. I did try a few sites online, but again, they will not ship to Canada! Grrrr...!! Hmmmmm.....maybe they have a hard time finding our individual igloos???...

Not to be nosey, but where do you all reside? I am shocked that some of you are awake during an endo and/or colonoscopy! Good grief! I am in Ontario, Canada, and I had both done this past September,...
Hi all, I sort of cheated when I had to do the prep work last month for my endo/colonoscopy. Instead of starting it late in the day like they said, I began first thing in the morning, about 7:00am. I...
I too have terrible ringing in my ears, sometimes they plug up and it sounds like I am underwater (that is annoying as all heck!) and sometimes they just plain ache. I thought it was from tinnitis,...
Hi all. I too am a frequest nausea sufferer. I have H. Pylori, which I am taking meds for right now, as well as GERD, and a bunch of other crap, but the nausea is from those two things. I don't know...
Hi bokbok, I think you need a new dr.! I was diagnosed with H. Pylori just a few weeks back from an endoscopy. I have the same issues you do, and they are not pleasant. Anyway, I am on an antibiotic...
AnnR and Ste. How are you guys feeling now? Has the pain subsided for both of you yet? I feel so terrible that you guys had a procedure to make yourselves better, and here you are feeling worse!...
I will do that, thanks for the support!...
Yes, thank you! Feel free to private message me. I am very cautious on taking any sleep meds as I know how addictive they are, but I want them on hand just in case. Hopefully I will never need them...
Yes, I too only had sedation, not a general, and I am a control freak, but in this instance, I was fine giving up my control and leaving it in the professional's hands! With the sedation, I was still...
I too did the phospho/fleet prep and my first words to my GI the day of my c/oscopy and e/oscopy was, "I am never taking that crap again, so you better get some good pictures of my insides!" I am not...
Are you guys serious? You were not knocked out cold for you endoscopies? Where do you reside? Not to get personal and don't answer where you reside if you don't want to, but I am in total shock...
Hey Cathy, I hope the Pepcid works for you! My daughter is just finishing her two weeks of her meds, and is doing wonderfully. She lost 11lbs. when this hit her (and is a rail to begin with, so she...
Hi Cathy, My 13.5 yr. old daughter was just diagnosed with GERD, and when I just found this site, and read your post, I nearly fell off my chair! Your post is my daughter exactly! She had a very...
