I’m not cured yet, the doctor thought it may be the antidepressants and prescribed some half dosage ones to see if that works, if not I will be put onto the urgent referral list and should hear within two weeks. So I’ve got at least another 3 weeks of this if the tablet change doesn’t work. [makes 10 weeks in total]
A bit of progress though. One of the district nurses has got me a raised toilet seat that actually fits the toilet, it is a six inch deep one so my feet do dangle a bit but I don’t have to push or pull myself up. A lot better as I’m on the toilet so many times at the moment!
At last after 9 weeks I’m cured! Well I daren’t stop taking the anti-diarrhea but the GP did say to carry on with them for 2 weeks which will be next week. So I need now other antidepressants, but I am scared that they will have the same side effects.
The bowels maybe cured but I feel dreadful, I cannot shuffle now to get comfortable in the wheelchair. I am ringing wheelchair services tomorrow wanting to know how much longer I have to wait, think I’ll lay it on thick and see if that works. The nurse is doing a urine test on Thursday to see if an infection is causing me to feel in.
