I'm a 63/yr old male that was just diagnosed with AF's (hopefully only one). My Primary Care Doctor (I use the VA as a 100% disabled Vet) put me on Cephalexin 500/mg x3 daily for a week. I finished the meds expecting a miracle only to be disappointed. Seems I have had this "issue" forever and up until diagnosis did not realize how it has really affected me and doing things going places... I feel handcuffed to my man-cave (toilet). I use the creams, wipes and ointments. I sit in my custom sitz-bath apparatus daily. I eat the fiber, have cut down on sugar and meat. There are days when I feel great with little problems (south of the Mendoza line) and think I am on the rebound. Only to have a relapse the next day where I have a normal (soft) BM feeling like I have voided all. Then a few minutes later I feel I need to go back and back and back (handcuffed). Sometimes as hard as I try not to push, my body tells me otherwise. It's almost like an uncontrollable dry-heave but from the other end.
I have a message in to my Primary and I hope to hear back tomorrow. In the meantime, am I the only one with these symptoms??
