Bowel Motility - Medication

[Guest guest]

- thanks for your suggestions

Dennis - let's hold it down to a loud roar

Blockage or impaction is a serious problem. If you are fortunate to

still be ambulatory and exercise, I feel you don't have these problems.

To those of us who are not fully functioning and confined to a chair,

its a very serious problem.

In my previous post I said I was just prescribed the Mestinon and

asked for comments from those who had taken it. I was told it was

prescribed for patients with Myasthenia Gravis. That alone scared me

after reading what that disorder was. The Neurologist said it would

help with fatigue and help signals from brain to digestive system to

empty stomach sooner, etc. Since we are going to be driving 1600

miles back to Texas in near future, I think I'll wait on this drug.

(Yes, he got a job with EDS in Fort Worth...yeah!!!!!!)

I have not filled that prescription and will try a daily pill of

Colace without fail, prunes with oatmeal and an apple at 3:00 pm and

drink 64 oz. of figi water a day. Sounds like a good, healthy way to

deal with it. After a trial run of that (no pun intended), I'll see.

I don't like throwing medications into my system especially ones for

MG...scary to me. However, Neuro said for me just try it that it

would not hurt me or do anything adverse to my system. Then, how does

he know....

For those comments made by others, maybe a routine will help. I tend

to do things when I have all necessary items and when I run out of

either product or food forget to re buy or whatever and that's when I

get into trouble.
