Prejudice is right!
I'd never heard the medical term 'opioid bowel syndrome'! I didn't know there were docs specializing in this.
I have Miralax! I wonder if you wouldn't mind asking your sig-other, ... does it make her upper abdomen, up to ribcage, 'distend a lot' after she takes it?
This is what happens when I take it, and I can't sleep on my side or in a comfortable position. I have to lie flat on my back as the pressure is up so high that my breathing is labored. I'm wondering if this is because I have a colon that is, I think he said ... about a foot longer than normal.
This was 'abuse'! I won't use the actual word that's on my mind. Unfortunately, there are all sorts of reasons fighting back would be nonproductive. I think? When left my ex-abusive husband, I didn't even bring it up!?
I must have pretty low self-esteem to 'just think' it's okay to allow others to treat me this way.(?) It's odd to pinpoint your self-esteem. If someone were to ask me if I liked myself, I'd say 'Yes I like myself a lot, whether you do or not'. I feel prior abuse has 'messed up my thinking'. Ya' know, that 'borderline' confusion.
I had been cutting back on Percocet for about a month prior to this, and that's when 'anything and everything I ate, caused awful pain and d*arrhea'. I'm thinking my insides 'have become accustomed to remaining still'.
Today I took two of the three I am allowed.
My PCP isn't being supportive, so I've found the name of a family doc/PCP out here and made an appt.
I would love to find a pain clinic ... but w/ my insurance?
I'd asked my PCP for another referral to PT at last visit w/ him (I want to find out what sort of exercise equipment I can use w/ a c-spine injury.) and he wrote a referral for 'a chain' of PT centers here. (The last 'chain' of PT I went to didn't have any exercise equipment.) I called, and they don't take my insurance! I'm afraid money is a problem here. Yet, I refuse to bring a man into my life for financial reasons.
Maybe attending the ACPA meetings in Sco*tsdale will be my 'yellow brick road'.
ThanksSoMuch, cf
