I live in California and I get it from Belair pharmacy. Sometimes they have trouble getting it because the manufacturer doesn't make it in big quantities but ask your pharmacy to order it. They are making it again. It really does help. Good luck.

I've used it for years, but last year I was told it was not made anymore. I totally agree that i's a "wonder drug"!

I use Propantheline for bladders spasms which is also prescribed for IBS, it is an old school drug but the side effects are that it stops sweating. It works great. Ask your Doc if you can try it. Meredith From: "greg" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 9, 2012 11:24:38 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] SP / Bowel Sweating I've been having sweating issues for like 12 months now. Not sure if it's a bowel or bladder issues, but I assume it's one of them. Nothing else makes me sweat like this. At first I thought it was my SP incision. It was bloody and "prouding' (skin folding back on itself.) The sweating starts when I sit all the way up. I thought having my abdomen fold right on that area was the problem. But it has heeled up and it hasn't stopped the sweating. It really got bad this week and this might be from having harder stool. That can cause it too. But that's been fine for months and still the sweating. I know my stool is not formed together well. I've been trying fiber drinks, but so far no help. Anyone have issues with their intestines cramping and causing sweating for no known reason? Sometimes it feels like I'm going, but nothing is there. Gas can cause this in me and any sweating from a bladder issue will cause gas in me. So I just can't find the cause, because any sweating bowel or bladder causes the same feeling. I had my bladder scoped months ago and everything was fine, but I'm going to ask for another one. I also had a colonoscopy around that time and was fine. Though I don't want that again. One thing about my SP, sometimes I get a very bad stabbing pain in my abdomen, like double over pain. Can be stool, gas, but sometimes it's my cath. It will be draining fine, move fine, but changing it and the pain goes away. Like it's in a sore spot. Anyone else have these issues? I just don't know why for many months I can only sit about 80% of the way up, or I start pouring sweat. When everything else looks fine. Thanks, Greg
