Entry taken from previous document of my experiences
So like I said earlier, my gyn advised that I see a gastroenterologist (GI) and a urologist. My urologist did not find anything and offered no suggestions regarding the cause of my pain. However, in the first and next few visits to the GI, this is how things went....

The GI doctor diagnosed me with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS - spasms in my colon and rectum). I was told that I suffered from general anxiety disorder which was the cause of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I was put on Paxil CR for my anxiety and Vioxx for my pain. My GI doctor said that seeing a decrease in the pain would take some time since it took some time for my colon to get all messed up and twisted up like this.
I’m now into the middle of 2004 and I’m still in pain. I mentioned to my GI doctor the commercials I’d been seeing on TV about IBS with constipation and for the prescription Zelnorm. He agreed that I could try this. So now I’m taking Paxil CR, Vioxx and Zelnorm for my IBS. I had to get off Paxil CR because of the night sweats and it was breaking off and thinning my hair. I’ve still got to look good, right?
My GI doctor went on to switch me from Paxil CR to Lexapro. What next?
What meds did you/do you take for your pain? Were you mis-diagnosed for something else when your pain was from endo or fibroids?
