Hey Cliffy...I can SO feel ya on the constipation issues. That's why I was in the hospital (partial bowel blockage). Yet I was taking the Miralax in order to have movement every 3 to 4 days. Gross, but the Miralax was drawing enough water into the stool to flush past the blockage (huh?). CT scan showed by damn colon was filled with "stool" and bladder filled with infection. What I can't get these apathetic doctors to realize...THIS IS the beast of this disease. My guts distend with constipation, choking off my bladder, which cannot fully empty. I don't have access to doctors who give a shit (pun intended). They've put me on Linzess 290, which is too damn expensive AND is causing crippling upper belly/chest gas (not the fart kind, but ripping chest apart into shoulder blades.
I'm concerned that I may be having liver failure again (1994). Please God NO!!?!! I don't want to freak my husband, after the scare in October.
I truly hope you can get relief with the MC. The Miralax will take to long to start working, unless you've cleaned the pipes, so to speak. I understand the stress and we both know that stress is our gut's worst enemy. I'm exhausted from the one thing, then another...then my spawn of Satan mother!?!
Yea, MISS is a LONG way from MASS...Aw shucks. I think we could share some laughs. I like your spunk!
I've always dreamed of living up that way. I love the idea of living somewhere in New England...clam chowder and cable knit sweaters.
Take care, friend.
