Hey Denise,
No immodium.
I spent most of my day in Mount Holly--going over the documents, giving information, getting information, being examined. And, as I mentioned earlier, tomorrow I have labs and an x-ray.
But no immodium.
I saw your post before I went racing out this morning, so when the diarrhea issue was raised, I asked. They have a protocol for addressing the side effects, but for the proper data gathering, they hope I will endure a certain amount of discomfort in order to see what works and what does not (this is mostly about dose adjustment).
It's okay. I'll live. The rest of this is TMI (you've been warned), but I'll tell you anyway: I have what appears to be some kind of hereditary "slow bowel transit" going on (in addition to the whole hypothyroid thing). This late in the game, I have more control of it than it has of me, but a few months of unplugged pipes would actually be kinda nice. (I'm the only person I know who enjoyed her colonoscopy prep. Well, sort of.)
The good news is that I solemnly promise not to tell you when I'm posting from the bathroom.
