Ive jokingly posted about it before, having chronic constipation. Not something I would wish on anybody. 2 weeks about I got done with a 4 week round of 6 different prescriptions besides all of the over the counter stuff. It's gotten considerably worse. To the point where I feel like it's messing with my center of balance. I'm scared to even eat some days. I procrastinate with the DR stuff being self pay. This morning I woke up not really being able to pee either. This is 100% impacting me mentally. I think I recently went several weeks without any kind of real bowel movement. Just when I think Im heading to the ER one will happen kinda and I tell myself it's getting better.

Pray for your buddy Spags, this is getting scary.

Another appt today at 3.

I take daily.

Psyllium husk, stool softeners, mineral oil, dark chocolate, milk of magnesia, prune juice, and mirolax. I drink tons of water, gateraide, and anything else I have read about on the web. I could take laxatives, chug a magnesium citrate, do an enema, and put on white pants and jump on a small airplane to Mexico without any hesitation.

That’s terrible sir and hope you find a quick treatment . Have you thought about a G.I. doc appointment/referral? have you had an EGD or C-scope?

Over the counter magnesium citrate is undefeated.
Drink lots of water.

GI specialists of course will have better info (your oral intake over the last month + any labs/scopes)....and therefore, better advice.

At minimum, you should call your primary care physician.

Actually do an enema. There's no way you'd be stopped up after that.

Sometimes at night I ask myself if I am dying. Laying down is really uncomfortable.

I wasn't joking. I understand the horror of a nozzle getting inserted up your butt but it works.

(The VA did one on me after some medication plugged me up. Your guts will empty out right after)

Sounds horrible, my dad has frequent issues with it as well.

I do believe that I had an aunt whose bowels split for this reason. I’m not 100% on that, but she definitely died from an infection and they said that was the cause.

Self Pay?

Why not sign up for ACA, it based on your family household and income, and with you having alot of kids your supplement from the government should be large and you could have top of the line insurance for a very good prices.

Get like BCBS Advantage Blue thru ACA.

It’s a shame Sawhorse is on vacation. He is the OT poop expert and I think he’s a volunteer enema person at one of the local hospitals. It’s not a paid gig, just a hobby.
