irritable bowel syndrome
"After six years of such extreme constipation that I was going maybe once a week sometimes once every two weeks. Bloating to where it looked like I had basketball under my shirt and such extreme gass I don't even want to go into it.  And this was every day for six years. Every day. I'm scared to eat anything absolutely anything. Then after numerous doctors visits and numerous doctors. I was given Linzess samples.  For a month and a half my life was completely changed almost normal even. Then the samples ran out I went to fill the prescription, it cost $500 a month!! even after  The discount, and in the 300 range after my deductible was met. I can't even remotely afford this.  I'm devastated that I can afford this medication. Devastated!"
