Guest Paula Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I go back to work tomorrow. I will let you know. I wish I had been on vacation but was on a medical leave....all is well. Except my husband who desperately needs me to go back to work. I laid in bed with my crown and golden scepter and bossed him around. Type A personality I am, but he did a great job of vacuuming and laundry. Robotic assisted surgery is a godsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paula Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Update: Endocrinology said it's not her thyroid. GI said it was a sluggish bowel (or something like that). Ultimately, she finally admitted to IV drug use and was using cocaine. She now has contracted hepatitis C. I suspected something like this all along and kept wondering why the doc wasn't drug screening her. I even suggested she was back to using drugs but that suggestion was rebuffed. Oh, well.

Guest Paula Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm reaching, but could her history of opioid abuse have altered her gut homeostasis in such a way that diarrhea is her new norm? You got it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taotaox1 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Nothing like a cocaine habit to give a person persistant anxiety and the runs. lol. Thanks for the update Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
