Went to the Doctor’s Yesterday, Keeping Fingers Crossed
I ended up calling both the Gastroenterologist and the Neurologist yesterday morning, as I really couldn’t decide which one to call. Both answered my message in a timely manner. The Neurologist said to take Mylicom for the gas, but the Gastroenterologist wanted to see me that afternoon. I couldn’t see my regular doctor, as he was out of town, but I was just glad to get the appointment.
Dr. M poked around on my stomach and abdomen and it was extremely painful. He asked a lot of questions, as you might expect, and, since I’ve been keeping a journal ever since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I was able to give him some pretty accurate answers as to onset, etc. He agreed that it is more than likely the Parkinson’s meds that are causing the problem.
He gave me some samples of Zelnorm to try, plus a prescription if it seemed to be helping. He feels like that will help my digestive system work better and perhaps solve my problem. I surely hope so.
You crack me up, Ripley LOL, and I need all the laughs I can get! So far so good, so maybe the Zelnorm is helping. He said it would take until Friday to know one way or another if it was going to work or not.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it.
Hope the Zelnorm does some good.
Ps, stop throwing in those big words (Gastroenterologist) had to go running for my dictionary for that one alone LOL. If you keep this up my IQ is surely going to improve LOL
