[TMIC] personal problem
I don't write very often, and I normally wouldn't talk to people about something so personal, but I don't know who else to ask. I have been having problems with constipation for a long time -- and it is only getting worse. As of right now I have been unable to go to the bathroom for five days. I have been taking Senokot and Miralax, plus I have been prescribed Lactulose by my neurologist. I take magnesium citrate pretty often, but it really makes me miserable when I take it. My legs get really tight and shake uncontrollably from being dehydrated. My stomach actually hurts today and I'm normally don't feel pain there. I have been to doctors and they were no help. It seems like they just take my money and run because they don't have the answer. When I went to the gynecologist she actually asked me why I thought I needed to have a Pap smear even though I told her I hadn't had one in over two years. She just didn't want to deal with me because I cannot stand up. I get this from a lot of doctors -- it seems like nobody wants to deal with me. I couldn't even find a regular family doctor-- a receptionist at one of the doctors offices I called actually told me that she didn't think the doctors there would be able to handle my case. She said that if I was a regular person that was just dealing with colds and other normal illnesses, that would be fine, but she didn't think they would know what to do to help me. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could take to help me with this situation? I am getting very desperate for some relief! Thank you, Amanda Diskey
Re: [TMIC] personal problem
Amanda, this may sound silly but some foods may help you with this problem. i have found that pinto beans help me. i dont eat them regularly but when i do,i go. very interesting topic especially when a lot of things we take for relief or to treet our symptoms cause constipation which can cause multiple aggravations. prayers,,, John in WV --- On Wed, 10/13/10, Amanda Diskey adis...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Amanda Diskey adis...@yahoo.com Subject: [TMIC] personal problem To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Date: Wednesday, October 13, 2010, 7:32 AM I don't write very often, and I normally wouldn't talk to people about something so personal, but I don't know who else to ask.

Re: [TMIC] personal problem
Amanda, I was told to take cascara segrada, it is a natural bark that I purchased in a health food store. That also may be the ingredient in smooth tea. This worked great for me, I took it every three days, just one pill though over time the problem got worse. My gastro told me that cascara segrada actually kills nerves with long term use, hence the problem is now worse. I wish I had some great cure for you, it is something I have dealt with for over 12 years. Don't let yourself go to long, you don't want to get distended bowel, if you need, use an enema.

Re: [TMIC] personal problem
Well, beans keep me regular most of the time. I've been eating 'frijoles' since I was a little kid. Prior to my colonoscopy, I was to take Dulcolax (http://www.dulcolaxusa.com/) and it worked very well in cleaning out my pipes. It's also to be used for 'regular' constipation. I also drank magnesium citrate, chilled, and with at least one tall glass of water. Check this out.

[TMIC] Foley caths
Keep things clean, and a Foley is the least apt to be involved in an UTI. I've been, I believe, on a Foley for seven years with only one UTI. Changes every other week. Alton On Apr 28, 2010, at 9:58 AM, Laura Beaudin wrote: Actually, an indwelling catheter should be a last resort. They create more infection since bacteria sets up a home on the catheter and they never fully drain the bladder (since the catheter opening sits over the balloon). Also, using an in-and-out catheter allows the bladder to expand and deflate naturally where with the foley, it doesn't do this, which can lead to further problems.

Re: [TMIC] personal problem
First-- I am so sorry to read of your discomfort and the infuriatingly bad treatment. This is fixable and the doctors should be working on it. That you are in pain from it is untenable. Bowel movement problems could be evidence of something else, as well as being a symptom of TM. You must see a physician about this, before it becomes something more than it is. When you say you cannot stand-- are you in wheelchair? If so, do you use digital stimulation? If this impaction is what is making you unable to stand -- please call an emergency room This might be about mechanics and it could also be about chemistry. You should get someone to assess your diet: do you have any allergies, are you lactose intolerant? Is you liquid intake sufficient? Do you drink at least a quart of water a day? Are you getting sufficient fiber, veggies, fruit? But bottom line-- see someone today! Best of luck, keep us posted, Akua --

Folks, You need to understand that the email address in the from line is NOT the actual sender of the email! Their computer has been hacked, or you can say that their address book has been hijacked by a spoofer who then sends out mass emails to everybody in their address book with these links. If you click on reply, the email that you send will NOT go to the person who you believe to be the sender, but it will just go out to an empty (not legitimate) email address. The safest thing to do is to delete the email without clicking on the link. If you know the person and you know it is not their character to send an email with just an unfamiliar link without an explanation, you need to assume that this person did NOT actually send the email to you. These people (celrods, ladynotes and whoever the other one was) are only victims, they did NOT send these emails to you. Hope this helps.

Re: [TMIC] personal problem - impaction
I had impaction-like troubles within months of TM showing up. Doc said to take Miralax - start at 17 gms a day and go up or down as it works for me. Works perfect for years now. She said the tm affected something called my mu factor in the GI tract which causes a generalized slowdown of the peristalsis. Taking or eating too much fiber can cause fatal or near-lethal bowel blockage or torsion because it sits too long in the GI tract, dries out and surgery is the only option then. I don't get cramping or loss of control with the miralax beyond what I ever had with senocot or even MOM - Original Message - From: Akua a...@artfarm.com To: Amanda Diskey adis...@yahoo.com; tmic-list@eskimo.com Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 12:42 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] personal problem First-- I am so sorry to read of your discomfort and the infuriatingly bad treatment.

Re: [TMIC]
For those on AOL whose e-mail accounts have been spoofed, there is an AOL address you can forward them to. I can't remember what it is right now -- you'll have to look around at the AOL Help area. But I received some spam e-mail addressed to me from my own AOL account that I did not send, and after I forwarded it to them, it stopped.

Their computer has been hacked, or you can say that their address book has been hijacked by a “spoofer” who then sends out mass emails to everybody in their address book with these links. If you click on “reply”, the email that you send will NOT go to the person who you believe to be the sender, but it will just go out to an empty (not legitimate) email address. The safest thing to do is to delete the email without clicking on the link. If you know the person and you know it is not their character to send an email with just an unfamiliar link without an explanation, you need to “assume” that this person did NOT actually send the email to you. These people (celrods, ladynotes and whoever the other one was) are only victims, they did NOT send these emails to you. Hope this helps. Take care, Debbie
Re: [TMIC] personal problem
Amanda, I have problems along those lines sometimes, too. The thing that helps me most is eating fresh fruits and vegetables -- it has gotten to the point that if I have a day or so that I don't eat them, I can almost count on having trouble. Canned fruits used to help, but they don't any more. I keep grapes and baby carrots on hand as they're the easiest to just rinse and eat, but I also try to eat salads regularly, too.. Also, exercise really helps immensely, but this is a problem for many TMers, especially those who can't walk. Is there someone who can exercise your legs, range of motion exercises and that kind of thing? Hope you get some relief soon.

Re: [TMIC] Foley caths
You are definitely the exception rather than the rule...great for you if you've been able to avoid UTI's...don't forget though teat you don't have as much bacteria 'up there' as a woman who's parts are 'down there' where moisture is constantly a problem...not to mention menstruation. A woman should never be allowed to go too long with an indwelling...if it's going to be a long-term thing, it's usually switched to a suprapubic--which is what will happen to me if I can't relearn to dress and self-cath. I'm lucky in that my Urologist is widely renown for his work in the SCI field.He's a wealth of information and was one of the docs who has pionered urological care for women with SCIs. Also, with a foley, kidneys start shutting down after ten or so years, so when possible, it should be capped off to mimic the filling and emptying of the bladder.

They create more infection since bacteria sets up a home on the catheter and they never fully drain the bladder (since the catheter opening sits over the balloon). Also, using an in-and-out catheter allows the bladder to expand and deflate naturally where with the foley, it doesn't do this, which can lead to further problems.

RE: [TMIC] visit to Dr
Same story here, but this it was at my dentist's office. The dental assistant needed an update on my medical history and I asked, how long do you have? By the time I was through she was in tears. I felt really bad for her after, but it didn't end there. I had to list all the meds I'm on.spell the names of each drug then say what I take them for. By the time my dentist saw me, she was only too happy to say, well on a good note, you have really nice teeth! lol! Thank God I can still smile about our little friend called the TM monster.

Re: [TMIC] personal problem
Amanda, I also used Cascara Segrada (recommended as an enema prior to having surgery) which worked extremely well - almost too well! Luckily the nurse who told me to use it said to stay close to a bathroom. I have dealt with constipation for three years until about two months ago when I decided to finally try taking the Activia challenge as Jaime Lee Curtis advertises on TV. I have one container every morning first before eating anything else and have not been constipated since! It took about seven to ten days to regulate me, but I now go almost every single day - before I was completely constipated and only going once every three to four days. Betty (in Northern California) In a message dated 10/13/10 05:12:26 Pacific Daylight Time, lbieh...@earthlink.net writes: Amanda, I was told to take cascara segrada, it is a natural bark that I purchased in a health food store. That also may be the ingredient in smooth tea. This worked great for me, I took it every three days, just one pill though over time the problem got worse. My gastro told me that cascara segrada actually kills nerves with long term use, hence the problem is now worse. I wish I had some great cure for you, it is something I have dealt with for over 12 years. Don't let yourself go to long, you don't want to get distended bowel, if you need, use an enema.
