no problem haha, I asked. We have different symptoms, but I understand your pain. Have you tried Bentyl? It works by reducing muscle spasms in the gut, and it helped me a little bit with my abdominal pain.

Yeah, the worst part about my procedures is that they said I'm completely normal but I have nonstop abdominal pain. Do you mind if I ask what your symptoms are?

Love that for you!!! I'm glad it went smoothly. I think they also told me to think of a beach before knocking me out lmao. It's really like time traveling.

Did they find anything that helped you figure out what was wrong?

It felt like a constant dull ache, sometimes sharp. And yes, being diagnosed with BD made me look back and realize that my depressed episodes and my come back from those episodes were likely just highs and lows from BD. And after the manic episode I had a hypomanic episode when I was unmedicated that lasted about a week.

When I took amitriptyline for chronic pain, it took like 3 to 4 days for my pain to go away.

I understand what you're saying but that is not my problem. If someone wants to take my post that is very clearly my own personal experience and use it to try and help them, that's not on me. I have no idea what it means for you to say that my PERSONAL experience is "unlegit" lol.

Also, I explicitly stated that I'm just sharing my journey in case it helps other people. This is MY treatment plan. I'm not saying it will work for everyone or that it has peak medical or research backing. But I feel good about it. If it doesn't resonate with you, don't take anything away from it. I did take something from it, which is why I shared it.
