A little behind

[deza]

I've been sick lately. If anyone remembers my hospitalization in January, this was the same problem. They didn't admit me this time (which is a little surprising, but hey, I'm happy to be home), and prescribed a ton of laxatives. I'm wondering, though, when the patient says "I've been taking x, y and z for a week and a half and they haven't done any good," how is prescribing more of the same stuff supposed to help? Oh well, I'll do what the doctor wants. Poor Andrew has added on to his "list of things no one signed up for" in helping me deal with this. At least the internal logjam seems to be breaking up after 3 weeks, yay.

Anyway, what with being too damn sick to move and doctor visits, I'm about three days behind on all my social networking. What did I miss?

have they tried you on lactulose? that's the only thing that works for my mom.

Right now, it's powdered polyethelen glycol, senna concentrate, docusate sodium, bisacodyl and sodium phosphate enemas. Joy. Only the last two items on the list are new; the rest I was taking for over a week without any results.

Honestly I have no idea what any of that does, I just know the lactulose actually does something to the muscles in question to cause movement. I dunno if that's any different than what yours do.
