painful constipation & general vent

November 8, 2004

im at my wits end. i have never -- in my life -- experienced this

kind of painful BM's EVER! im so hungry all the time, like every 1.5

to 2 hours im eating, not exactly huge portions but its so frequent.

i havent gained wieght yet, but im not loosing anymore. what i am

able to eat is definetly causing the problems. cereal and more

cereal. sometimes its all i can think of eating. sometimes soup,

macaroni & cheese. perhaps im not getting enough fluids and that is

the problem.

this is embarressing ,but it was so bad yesterday, i had to take a

correctol,use two suppositories (which i discovered existed after

making a visit to the store yesteday) and wrap my hand in tp to help

push it out. i hadnt gone in 4 days as of sunday and ended up

spending at least three hours total on the porcelain goddes with in

and out stages of flushness sinking into my face while my 15 month

was prancing around me in my misery. i wanted to cry. my insides are

backing up, my toilet is now backed up .... to make it worse my

husband has the flu and ive been taking care of the kids without any

help for the last three days.

and top that off with waiting for amnio results over the trisomy 18

marker... i just hope this week moves by quick.

sorry for the vent.
