-- Millie, If there's "something rotten with her" why go? I know you have your reasons and its none of my business, but you know how noisy and pushy I am. I wish you could find the right doctor. Are you drinking water? My husband and I mix just a little pure fruit juice(usually pure cranberry juice(bittter) with water and that helps us drink more. But you may be beyond that stage now. I hesitate to give you any advice, I don't want to hurt you.

It will be awhile, because research books take time, but you know that it will be very helpful to all of the sufferers to see how everybody is being treated. Except, they'll probably drop you and you won't be able to maintain the book idea for a long time, which is what is needed. Anyway, don't listen to me, I'll just get you in trouble.

Dear Helen,I can't do enemas. They don't work for me. I had some loose stool which is probably passing over hard. I get so scared. Awhile ago, I was crying again. I get so afraid of blockages, and of how they disimpact you. I don't want to go to an emergency room if I don't have to, because I've had some bad stuff happen there. I will take more milk of mag. The gastro's office never returned my cas. I left a message yesterday, and one this morning, but today I got Miss Mornng Breath. LOL!!! Thanks for your phone number. Sometime I'd like to talk to you.Helen, did you ever have a blockage, or get impacted? I was doing good but I don't know what happened.Love,Millie

Honey, did you try the fleets enema. Please give it a try first. Look if you need someone to talk to please call me at 410-477-8034. I remember calling someone from the board when I was so backed up (the nurse), but sometimes it is so far up in there that it is hard to get it started on it's way down. If one doesn't work, try two of them (as I said it may be really far up in your bowels). If you can't run to the store, try soapy water if you have an enema bag at home. That usually works for me. Love,
