Hi all
Updating since this has become a bit of a therapeutic journal for me.
The strange stomach pain has stopped, thank goodness. It seems that it was from the morphine.
BUT my fissure pain is as bad as ever, nearing that of 4-5 months ago when it was at it's worst. Today was particularly bad - not sure what's up with my system but I've had major diarrhea today - I though the amitryptiline was supposed to be constipating! I've had probably 8-10 bowel movements and needless to say I'm not happy at all...and the stomach continues to rumble. Normally even if I have D it is only in the am, but this has been all day.
I'm assuming this is morphine withdrawal fully hitting - I think it took a long time to get right out of my system and that's why things were so up and down. No miralax tonight, and I may take the full dose of amitryptiline prescribed (I have been doing half). If need be, it will be back to Imodium tomorrow!
I'm exhausted but worried I won't be able to sleep because of the pain. Taking a lorazepam as we speak and hopping in the bath to read Harry Potter, hopefully will be able to calm down.
Also, lots of blisters on the butt cheeks - ouch. My doctor says there is nothing sinister about them, just from softening the skin so much from baths, lying down so much and heating pad. Bad combo I guess if you have sensitive skin.
Anyways, not a good day, maybe tomorrow will be better
