My new normal.

On August 6th I had Botox done to rectal muscles in a effort to give me some relief and hold of on doing more damage to already damage nerves and muscles. My doctor feels like sooner than later I will have to have to have a colostomy or ilostomy. I cannot function without medication. I will go 24-72 hours without a bowel movement if I miss just one dose of medicine. I suffer from both bowel and bladder incontinence already and now that the Botox is working it is a lot more of a risk.

Tomorrow is going to be a make phone calls day and next month is seeing what other doctors think about my immediate future.

Good luck with your upcoming Botox procedure. Botox has been well studied, and ought to work as advertised. Keep us informed.

So I already had the botox on the 6th and now just recovering from it. It is very weird and things are bad but it is what it is
