Re: [TMIC] OT... Been there, saw the potties!
I just returned from the mall, Crawled under the stage used in yesterdays concert to visit the Lincoln Memorial a few days ago after seeing my father in law buried at Arlington National Cemetery. I am back home in Ohio but I almost wish we could have stayed. I have been visiting the D.C. area for 25 years and this is the first time I recall the residents polite, helpful and friendly. I am walking wounded and 5 days of viewings, funeral, and then site seeing in frigid temperatures proved to me what I am still made of inspite of CPS from the chest down. And Frank, I'm guessing folks will be in and out in 2 minutes... who wants to pee in a refrigerator!!

Re: [TMIC] constipation
Regina, my dr recommended Lactulose. It is a thick liquid (like cough syrup) & tastes of oranges. It is mild but it works for me every time & within about 8 hrs. I don't need to use as often as in the early days of TM but I wouldn't be without it. Where I live, it is not sold on the shelf but behind the pharmacy desk.

He said that it doesn't irritate your bowels. Wondering if any of you even heard of it. Kevin, I would like to hear more about the herb you recommend. R
Re: [TMIC] constipation
I am affected up to my collarbone and it has affected my digestion. Regular fiber has the opportunity to move so slowly through me it dries up and creates a plug that becomes very dangerous. You can have a piece of your intestine die and it will kill you quicker than you can believe. I use reglan (metoclopramide) to help my stomach empty. I use Miralax aka glycolax but now generic (polyethylene glycol 3350) to move things through the pipe. It is not fiber, it is not absorbed by the body, it just slicks things along. You do have to adjust it as you get used to it so you don't have a blowout, but I just figured out how much to take depending on how much food I eat and it works great. I've been on this for about four or five years. I tried the other treatments and had so much trouble with cramps, lack of action and variability that this has been a dream for me. Best of luck. - Original Message - From: Regina Rummel To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 3:47 PM Subject: [TMIC] constipation Years ago, the doctor prescribed LACTULOSE to my mother after she had a stroke leaving her with major problems including a horrible case of constipation.

Re: [TMIC] OT: Vagus nerve questions.
I'm very aware of the Vagus nerve issues since I've dealt with it since I was 12 years old. It is an issue I worry about especially as I've grown older and have a heart issue. One of the issues I've had all along with TM is an occasional bladder incontinence but with that my bowel stimuli nerve just quit working. They gave me a tremendous amount of different types pills in ICU to help me nave a BM and all that did was make me horribly nauseous and bending over in pain They would physically haul me out of bed to the bed side pottie and I would sit and sit, trying my best to push to where I would just be sopping wet from sweat. Nothing, so they would haul me back onto the bed and then the explosion would happen. It was horrible. Then they did the exact same thing in Rehab for two weeks. The day I got home I took the herb tabs I've used for years and the very next morning things were perfect. There is no nausea nor cramping and no uncontrollable 'explosion'. Now, that is how it works for me but it seems to work pretty much across the board with so many people that use it and my provider and GI doctor seem to think it is an ideal thing for those of us with chronic constipation. If you want to know more, e-mail me personally and I'll tell you about it since I've become a distributor in order to get a discount on it. I couldn't live without it and am so thankful it's even available and this is after literally years of trying every imaginable thing from the pharmacy. Sorry for all of the yakking, everyone... I hope your mom is doing well, Kevin. I'm thankful you still have her.. Jeanne in Dayton ---Original Message--- From: Kevin Wolfthal Date: 1/17/2009 4:17:32 PM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] OT: Vagus nerve questions. My mom collapsed again today, apparently straining when going to the bathroom is putting pressure on her Vagus nerve, and causes this blacking out. She was ok by the time the paramedics came..and she has had complete physicals recently that didn't show anything bad. She does take medication for high BP, and her BP has been good..110 to 120 over 60. She takes Senna to keep from getting constipated, as well as eating oatmeal and prune juice. Has anyone else experienced Vagus nerve issues? I know avoiding straining is key. Thanks, Kevin
Re: [TMIC] VAGUS NERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
> HER TOP NUMBER IS FINE BUT THE BOTTON IS VERY LOW. > THIS COULD BE WHY SHES FAINTING.HER PRESSURE > DROPS!! I would agree. She may be on too much medication, or the wrong medication. I would suggest she wear a 24 hr blood pressure monitor. No one should black out having a BM. Good luck F
