Got my Botox scheduled for Aug 1, but still undecided if I should bother.
Following all advice my CRS gave me (cut down on Miralax) has led to worsening symptoms after 12+ months of being pain-free.
Been take 3 doses/ day of Miralax, and tried tapering down. Made it to 2.5/day, any less than that and I get a Bristol 3 *insert spasms and blood here*. Tried to switch over to a magnesium supplement, and at 300mg/day plus 1.5 doses of Miralax, I still get a Bristol 3 that I can't tolerate. Yikes.
Haven't had this much pain since March 2012.
Now I'm retracing my steps to get back to what I was doing before when I was pain-free, spasm-free, mostly blood-free.
But I'm wondering if getting Botox will be of any use?
Downside of Botox: $500 cost, small risks, and it might not work for me.
Thoughts?
