Zelnorm, that's it!!!!

Only a few months??? that sucks.. they make the commercial sound as if it's THE final answer to IBS.. that just sucks....

They pulled cigarette commercials off TV, they should pull off drug commercials too!!!

A doctor should be the one that is aware of available medications and do his job right.. it shouldn't be up to us to watch the media propaganda and get brain washed into trying the latest fad.

You know what I just saw on TV? Lawyers fishing for folks that have suffered stroke or heart attack while on Bextra!

It makes me so very sad. But I'm not going to linger on that today... it's the last day of the year... I want to start my new year on a good note!!!

I'm in the middle of getting a comprehensive bloodtest done to determine how hypothyroid I am and findout if I have adrenal fatigue. I have IBS so theresults of the doctors prognosis will indicate what isreally going on and should be very interesting. It'sbeen a long time coming but I think I finally foundthe right Endocrinologist after having a hard time,especially with getting a simple referral from myprimary care doc-in-a-box. Hopefully the treatmentthat will result from this will reduce if noteliminate one of the more challenging symptoms for mewhich is constipation. I will keep everyone posted onthis list to the result. Btw, I did some checking onzelnorm (the written tummies on the commercials) and Ifound out that it's not a long term cure and thesymptoms come back after a few months. IBS is no fun.I know because I'm suffering like a dog (wish I hadthe same strength).
