I'm so sorry you're not doing better. I wish I had advice for you.

What do the doctors say about your misery? What have you tried so far?

I'm sorry. I often struggle with feelings of regret as well. I hope it gets much better for you.

Sometimes, our depression and anxiety amplifies our symptoms, mking them so much worse than someone without those comorbidities. Not that knowledge helps in any significant way, and I know that one tends to feed the other.

Nevertheless, I do feel for you and I wish I had something wise to tell you. Sometimes outcomes are just lousy and there is no way to know in advance who will fall victim to it.

Are you at the point of considering an ileostomy? If so, don't think of it as failure, but just moving on to the next step. We are here for you.

Hey it gets a lot better I eat McDonald the French fries help. And I used neosprin cream

I'm not sure anyone knows what your misery consists of since you didn't mention it in your posts. Maybe if we had some idea of what's going on we could help you through it. There are a lot of people on here with some good advise. So what exactly is going on if you don't mind sharing?

I can relate oh to well. I regret this thing every minute of the day. We all suffer differently but it is hard way to live.

I underwent what they called situational depression when I first had my j-pouch. I have been on antidepressants for years. I take Elavil for the depression but my GI doc says it is also good for my Irritable Pouch Syndrome. Don't give up. Go tell your doctor about your depression. Antidepressants are not feel good pills, but they do keep you out of that deep dark hole. Blessings on you.

pain, blood, cuffitis, frequency, urgency, constipation, diarrhea, depression, anxiety and a plethora of drug trials to try and curb all of those symptoms. this to me is misery...

Sorry to hear of your troubles. You don't know til you try, I suppose. I've been pretty lucky. I hate to hear of others who don't fare so well. My J pouch gave me my life back.
