Can PEG Be The Cause For Depression, Memory Loss And Constipation?
I am a 59yr old woman with multiple sclerosis[since 2003]. I've had depression, memory loss/confusion the past two years. I have been taking PEG for two years and I just found documented evidence that PEG is the cause. I need your perspective.[I am a former LPN, USAR nurse, and USN nurse Veteran. I have experienced severe constipation all my life! Today, was my LAST DAY for PEG. I don't want to live my life confused and disoriented!
