I called GI doctors office 2 times, left 2 messages, finally doctor called back with my answers to following questions:

1.What is WRONG with me?

ANSWER: IBS or CROHNS the biopsy results will determine which one I have

2.Is there a diagnosis?

ANSWER: We will know when biopsy results are in next week

3.What is the SBS test? When? Where? And why do I need that?

ANSWER: special series of X-RAYS to look further above inside my GI tract that the colonoscopy can’t see, call Centra State Medical Hospital and set up appointment before my visit on Oct 19th so he can review the x-rays and biopsy, together, with me that day

4.If I eat and have PAIN, what CAN I take to make the pain go away?

ANSWER: Librax and Aciphex will prevent pain from starting / take medication before I eat

5.Did you take a biopsy? When will those results be in?

ANSWER: yes yes yes, Thursday October 19th

6.I am already ON anti-anxiety medication Xanax, why did you prescribe more? Do I need Librax as another anti anxiety medication? and why do I have to take it 3xs a day? Can I take both medications together? Won’t I be all doped up? They are both heavy duty NARCOTICS, I am a recovering drug addict, isn’t there something else I can take?

ANSWER: No, you need the Librax to stop the spasms in your intestines, and any stress increases spasms, which increases your pain. Anti anxiety helps stop stress, and stops the spasms, and the second medication will stop other symptoms of intestines

7.When is my next office visit?
ANSWER: Thursday, October 19th at 11:45am

THANK YOU

I did some “Self research” on all the medications I am taking / supposed to take:

1. Minocycline (for my skin)- 100mg/1pill
2. Zoloft (for my depression)-100mg/1pill
3. Xanax (for anxiety/stress)- .02mg/1pill

Those are what I have been talking for the last few years (the xanax is just been over the last six months because of the financial stress I have been under)

4.Aciphex (for heartburn) – 20mg/1pill
5.Librax (for anxiety?)- 20mg/ 3pills

*total pills per day= 7

Upon further internet research on the medication LIBRAX I found THIS

There are TWO key ingredients in LIBRAX

1.Librium
2.Quarzan
————————————————————————

But I am A LITTLE concerned about THIS and I am PRETTY MUCH scared by THIS

The only thing that makes me feel better is the SECOND ingredient / medication / usage in the LIBRAX.

I feel better having TALKED to GI DOCTOR this morning, he told me to stop taking Xanax while on Librax, until we get everything under control.

Let’s HOPE its IBS and NOT Crohns!!!!!
