Default Is there anyone like me? G.I. Neuropathy...

Hello,
I was diagnosed with Neuropathy this week, and just found this forum tonight. I have been browsing and searching but I can't find anyone like me, and I was wondering if I'm alone.
I don't have the hands and feet or skin sensitivity.
My major pain complaint is in my large intestine. This occurs immediately after a bowel movement and the pain can last from 4-6 hours varying in intensity.
The other symptoms I have are extreme fatigue (I often don't leave my bed these days), hot flashes, dizziness, and nausea commence if I push through the fatigue.
I don't know much about this diagnosis, but I'm looking for info, and some shared knowledge, and simply to know I'm not alone in what I'm going through.
I have been placed on Bentyl and 30mg Cymbalta. I have been experiencing a bit more nausea with the Cymbalta, but my doc says that will fade with time.
Currently I am seeing my family doctor, and I'm wondering should I go to a PN specialist?
It's taken 5 years, and several doctors in various specialities, to get a diagnosis.
So is there anyone else on the boards that has G.I. specific neuropathy?
