Slow gi motility with severe constipation

I just started having slow motility problems 3 months ago, and the only thing that worked for 3 months was a whole bottle of miralax every 8 to 10 days, then 18 days ago it stopped working, I've seen 3 GI Drs already, I've been to the ER 8 times in a week and a half, I went into lactic acid shock on the 10th , I'm trying to find a hospital that will admit me and help me with this partial blockage, the hospital I was at yesterday gave me 8 laxatives a bottle of magnesium citrate, my bowels moved but nothing but overflow came out, today I have pressure, I hope I'm not perferated, this is the 5th hospital I've been to in 18 days. I need to go back to work, I'm going to end up losing my house, but half the time I can barely walk.

@cpeffer - you truly have so much going on.

I wanted to offer one potential resource for you:

- Check out https://www.findhelp.org/. FindHelp is a place to find free or reduced-cost resources like food, housing, financial assistance, legal assistance, health care, and much more. Simply enter your zip code to find resources close to you.

I realize perhaps even navigating a search tool like FindHelp can be overwhelming. I recommend starting by looking for social work. Perhaps you can find a low cost or no cost social support who could help coordinate services with you.
