Posted by Mike on 10/6/2005, 1:31 pm, in reply to "Re: my first Phlebotomy" At first it got worse with bouts of diarrhea at different points during the treatment. But for the last 4 weeks or so (since my ferretin dropped into the normal range) I have not had IBS. I thought I had a bout one day but I ate pizza at a fast food counter with a bunch of colleagues and they all got sick. That was the only episode. You have no idea how liberating this is. I can now sit through a meeting without feeling discomfort. BIG impact on self-confidence and general well-being. Hang in there! Mike

I have had IBS for 20+ years. By last April it had become intolerable and incompatible with my career. That plus erectile dysfunction finally prompted me to see the doctor.
