Discouraged

Postby hledgess » Sun Feb 23, 2020 11:41 am

I’m getting discouraged.. I was Doing great on two pills a day.. formed even hard stool.. went down to one Friday and yesterday was a mix including D and today was all D.. those of you on a vanco taper that it has healed you.. did u have symptoms when going down a dose? Is that just a norma process? Bc I felt good.. and being on a smaller dose I don’t have a’as’ much shaking either .. still some but not even close to what it was when it was 3/day.. so jc of this is a common thing

Most of us , including me , had symptoms as we dropped down a dose until the gut adjusts to the new dosage , the symptoms usually subside after a day or two .

Today was much worse than yesterday.. I also have severe pain in my belly. Tried eating anyway but it made it worse... it hurts to move so I called off work .. I’m hoping maybe things are thickening and that’s why it hurts but I don’t know yet.. so I called off of work just in case.. but Ty that’s helpful though .. today’s day 3 however so I’m a bit concerned .. I may call my gi although they’re not a lot of help

You’d think 4 days would be enough time for my body to adjust but I’m still in a lot of pain

Try a heating pad for the pain.
