Regarding constipation: Besides drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day, I
find that citracyl (avaiable at grocery and drug stores) works best for
me. Do Not, I repeat DO NOT sit on the toilet and push for a long time,
as it can cause hemoroids. It could also lead to a torn anal spincter,
which happened to me a number of years ago, and I had to have three
surgeries to correct it. It was horrible beyond words and I had to
spend Dec through May mainly in the bathtub to heal the area.
Regarding this disorder of adhesions, I want to know how so many of you
seem to stay positive. When I realize that it is for life, and that it
only gets worse, never better, I hope for an early death. Did anyone
see the movie "Frida". The movie didn;t explain what she died from. I
think she died of adhesions and pain. It is great to find out there
there is a real, valid, physical reason for our pain, but then what? I
myself am so exhausted from chronic pain, I don;t know what to do, as I
seem to have already tried everything.Thanks. Mary Lou
