Blindsided

68 year old male college professor. I was blessed with good health all my life until 2016. Within one week I was Dx with prostatitis and IBS-C. It was a nightmare. Now taking Proscar and Rapaflow for BPH. Tried every over the counter drug on the market. GI prescribed Linzess and Trulance but both gave me terrible side effects. Currently taking 2 Tbsp. of MOM at nite and a 8 oz glass of prune juice in AM and PM. Each day brings new challenges. No 2 days are the same. I changed my teaching schedule to evening classes as my mornings are a “fog”. I am retiring this December b/c my anxiety and depression issues are interfering with my quality of work. I hope to acquire valuable info from this site.
