More good news!

I forgot to mention this before. I finally got the VA to give me something for my IBS (only 5 years of complaining), and it seems to be doing the trick. It kind of makes me feel like a diabetic with insulin shots (though I know not anywhere as bad as that is). It is just that I have to time the taking of my pills with eating meals just right. Too soon and it doesn't have enough time to start to work, and too late and it wears off too soon.

What works for me is 20mg of Dicyclomine 15 minutes before eating a meal. My PC originally RX it at 10mg 3x daily. But though it helped some by my adjusting to this schedule I am eating anything I want with normal bowel functions.

Oh I also forgot to mention I had really great (for me) BP check while at my MS Neuro. It was 133/66. I haven't see anything near that number in almost 20 years. Not sure why it was so low.
