So, I'm starting year two of my relationship with this wonderful partner of mine. My doctor took me off of generic miralax a few weeks ago. He was concerned that I was developing a tolerance to it. Since then, my AF symptoms have gotten much worse than the previous months. So much so, that despite my lack of insurance, I'm contemplating LIS. ("Yay! More debt!")
This is all disappointing to say the least. I had hoped I would be able to tolerate the pain until such a time years down the road when I might have insurance. However, these days sitting for any purpose has become unbearable. Baths, fiber, water, stool softeners, metamucil, this sucker takes them all and keeps on laughing at me!
Yet, what seems odd to me is that after 2 visits to a CRS and several examinations by two different GPs, no one has been able to actually see the AF. The symptoms are all there, and I have no family history of cancer, etc, so I'm not worried about it being "something else". Rather, I'm wondering if this would complicate surgery at all?
