Not a WOW but a MIRACLE!
Folks I finally found it.......that severe pain on my left side the one that has debilitated me for two yrs now I found the source of it. It was my colon all along and I KNEW it! I didn't think I knew my body that well but instinctively I did. I went to my GI doc yesterday to follow up and ask her if there wasn't some medication besides pain meds that I could try and see if it was my colon in a spasm. I've been on donnatal on and off and it didn't really do anything for it. But she prescribed Levsin and I went to Pharmacy late last night reluctant to fill it but I took one at 9 and by midnight when I went to bed I was just really sore where the cramp was. This morning I have to tell you I can take a deep breath without it about killing me, I am NOT in agony today... What a relief!! Janie

Pain is bad when it is here and there...I could not imagine having it ALL THE TIME.Enjoy what I pray is the first of many pain-free days.
Take Care,

Big Hug
Janie...That is awesome! I am so happy for you.
I have only a sliver of a snap shot of the pain that you must suffer with daily with my recent battle with colitis.
I wish you continued pain free days forever.
