Re: been gone for a bit, but back.

Deb,

I'm so sorry you're having such a rotten time. It sounds like you're very

depressed. I hope the new antidepressant works fast.

I know exactly what you mean about wanting to go to sleep and not ever wake

up. It's not that I'm really suicidal, but I know when I wake up it's going to

hurt and be hard to get out of bed and everyone in my family is going on with

their lives, which starts to make me resentful that no one else can really

understand what I'm going through. My husband is great and really tries to make

things easier for me and I have been feeling somewhat better in the last few

weeks, but we went on a trip to New Jersey over the weekend and it was basically

three days in a little convertible sports car and it is taking me days to get

back to where I was.

The kids start school tomorrow and I just don't know how I'm gonna get up and

get them off in the morning. I was having abdominal cramps so bad last night I

had to get up and take pain medicine, which I'm trying so hard to cut back on.

Something I'm taking is causing massive constipation (sorry!) and I'm already

uncomfortable as it is without adding that. It's making me so anxious that all I

can think about is will I be able to go to the bathroom before it starts to hurt

and I've been using every laxative in the book, trying to eat right and nothing

helps. I looked on the internet and low and behold, elavil interacts with bentyl

and causes chronic severe constipation. What didn't my doctor tell me?????

Needless to say, I'm going off the elavil immediately. I can't take the anxiety

along with the pain.

I hope things get better for you soon. It's so hard not being able to live a

normal life. I'm afraid to even go anywhere with my kids because I don't know if

the pain will start or I might have to go to the bathroom and not be able to

find one. I do get to the point where I feel like the illness has won and I

can't fight it anymore.

Hang in there.

Chelle
