Trust us, it will go away...try some imodium to help aleviate some of it
as well. Believe me, I have a camping horror story that is as graphic
as yours, but there weren't any bathrooms around..get the picture?! :) I
had no idea that starting my meds 2 weeks before I went on vacation
would be a problem. LOL
Took me about 6 weeks for it to level off and feel normal again. Each
time the dr would up the dose, I would go through that. I'm up to
2200mgs daily now, took me 6-8 weeks to adjust, but there is hope for
normal bowel habits! lol
Hang in there! Try epsom salt soaks after each bm, might help with some
of the discomfort and make sure you aren't taking the meds on an empty
stomach. HTH's
