Re: [QUAD-L] Digital Stimulation

2012-10-09 Thread Quadius
I'm suffering from a little bit of a constipation issue myself, but this is
more of an aberrant occurrence. I normally suffer from loose stools, but I
still need copious amounts of digital stimulation. And my rear end suffers
from the pain also. I did get some relief from hemorrhoid creams.

As far as trying to keep the stool have had success with Miralax and
mineral oil. Usually whenever I'm having some problems it's due to my
taking a little too many Lactaid. I am extremely lactose intolerant and do
great when it right stayaway from dairy, but that's not always possible.

I have found Enemeez doesn't work well when I have constipation issues. I
ended up having to go back using the magic bullets. I am willing to try
them again, now that my bowels are a little more regular.

The latest electable. I'm having a hell of time with my new buddy
microphone. The one I used on my laptop is pretty decent, but the one I'm
using on my desk works well one day and not so well the next day. I need to
get used to speaking without moving my head too much.

Lateral supports would be your best bet. I had been leaning to the right
for the last 16 years, but I make sure I have the lateral support properly
positioned so that it set up really straight.

It's also important to make sure your hips are properly aligned.
I know this sounds like 101, but it is pretty important.

I've been leaning to the left for about 10 years. Got an X-Ray of my spine and 
, for me, it confirmed I have scoliosis. I even went to brace clinic at Kessler 
and they said ". What are you doing here?" I told them about my leaning and had 
my X-Ray in hand and said "… I just don't want my scoliosis to get worse and 
thought a brace might help to prevent it from getting worse." They, the 
professionals, told me "… you'll be fine,, no need for a brace … not for a 
long, long time.". Bobbie

hi Larry, I lean to, the last 2 yrs it has affected my driving as well. It 
seems to be the norm for us. they say it is scoliosis. I am having an x-ray 
to see if that's true, I will let you know.

Hey guys. For the last year I have noticed that I am leaning to the left. In 
the past month it has got worse. Now I have to physically hold myself 
upright or I go tumbling leftward. As you might expect, it is really 
affecting my ability to drive, or to do anything for that matter. Anyone 
have an idea what the cause might be? I sleep on my left side as well. 
Thanks.

I have my "crooked" days when I am unable to be straight. I tend to lean to the 
left. My doctor said it is caused by pain, pinched nerve, or muscle weakness. 
He thinks that I wear myself out. I have to sit on a heating pad because the 
spot is low on my back. I take Advil to help with pain and inflamation and that 
seems to help me.
 
Your situation sounds much more severe than what I have to deal with, so it may 
be something totally different.

Bill, when you find an answer to that question, let me know. Poop and pain 
pills just don't mix. Bowel and stomach problems are the curse of quadom, even 
without opiates.

Hi EV1,

I know this is a very delicate subject, (except here) but has anyone found a 
less traumatic way to stimulate the anus than the finger? 

I am hurting like heck down there, since my opiates joined the dietary party, 
slowing everything to a snail crapping pace. Been through the gamut: Magic 
Bullets, Enemeez, etc., but nothing comes down to the lower bowel. Outside of 
chewing on a tree trunk, my diet gets enough fiber IMHO.

Looking for help, my anus is making my nurses wince when they inspect down 
there.
