Yes, I'm finding this out. The hard way. Pun intended. So, two days ago I'm pretty certain I had a bowel impaction.
In the course of a day I administered myself the MDD of delicious milk of magnesium-mint flavored, MDD of senna lax-dirt flavored, 2 glycerin suppositories, an entire bottle of magnesium citrate-lemony shit flavored, an apple-worm flavored, and a mineral oil and a saline enema-unflavored, of course. So, nothing happened for 8 hours...I was in wicked pain with my heating pad ready to go to the emergency room. This thought doesn't come lightly as I do not have any health insurance. When Finally, the floodgates broke.
So, here's my quandary...since then (two days ago) I've consumed only the following: more Subutex-two days worth, more Cymbalta-2day supply, 9 cups of coffee with non-dairy creamer, two packs of Camels, a hot dog and burger, no buns, a side of Mac salad, side of hash browns and a bag of butter lettuce with extra Greek dressing, a Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA beer, half a gallon of orange juice, half gallon of lemonade and two glasses of green tea. That's it. And, it's happening again. I'm in agony. The neuro Trigeminal nerve pain condition I suffer from that is usually at an 8, which for the first time in three years I can barely feel, is at a 5. Amazing. Thank you, bupenorphine without the naloxone, but, here's the thing. ...
I am in so much back and general gut pain, I'm feeling like I should go to the Emergency room. I was so proud that I saved myself thousands of dollars by shoving things up my own ass and here I am again two days later. I know meat is bad for this, but I thought I did pretty good for two days countering it with all that salad.
So, did I eat enough to warrant going to he hospital for risk of a tear, internal bleeding, sepsis, all that fun stuff?
Is it safe to say that most of it evacuated out? I'm assuming if I hav this intensity of pain I should.
Methadone didn't even give me as much of a problem as this Subutex.
Is this typical for most people on subs?
Fuck. It's boyfriend's birthday in ten minutes, I really feel awful about waking the family to have a birthday hospital party, and be about $1,000+ in debt.
That time it was 8-9 days without shitting, this time it's only two.
Bottom line: Essentially, how would one know if this situation is severe enough to go to ED?
