I know it's strange to say...but I don't mind the diarrhea...in fact when I
was off the meds for a little while, I freaked out when I didn't have
it...I'm used to it, so it almost feels unnatural NOT to have diarrhea.
Actually, when I used to get nauseous, I didn't want to eat, and I have the
opposite now...eating everything in sight...so a little nausea wouldn't be so
bad for me. :))
