Hey all. Right now it's almost 3 AM and I wonder if I should go to the ER because I haven't slept in 2 days. The reason? I am in so much pain! I am a 25 yo f with a gluten/dairy intolerance and I am very good at watching my diet and I exercise 3 hours a day. I've been diagnosed with IBS-C since...

As many of us have been long awaiting the arrival of Linzess, their very own salespeople not only resent the drug itself, but having to sell it at such an "inconvenient" time of year. What they don't realize is that being unemployed, perpetually constipated, or both is a lot more inconvenient...
