Loretta, please don't think this trite ... i feel for your husband for real.
i read thru your thread ... i did see that he's tried everything known to CHdom ... but i didn't see that he's tried water.
Dr Jerry posted back in november (i think) a cery good result from drinking lots (i mean LOTS) of water ... i tried it.
it's been a godsend for me. that said ... others have posted that they've tried it to no avail.
but in your husband's case, i'm reminded of one guy that responded to Dr Jerry about if someone told him running nude in the snow would help he'd be on his way to the mountains without a suitcase.
not to make light of a terrible situation - but try it. be careful - tell your doc first so his blood salt level is monitored - as innocuous as water sounds - you can drink too much. you need to work up over 2 or 3 days to the multiple gallons/day this requires (well, it did me anyway).
hoping it works ...
pain freedom is a human right!
