Hi @truthfinder, and happy birthday! I am so glad you posted. I can feel your feelings of frustration and loss in your words. I also read about the progress you are making, improving your day-to-day. You can do this! A lot of what you say describe just how much you are doing to help yourself, and that makes you super qualified to help others.

I headed to pelvic floor PT after an anorectal manometry confirmed pelvic floor dysfunction, particularly coordination. Constipation is no fun. The worst pain I had was what I described as a feeling of a rock sitting on my tailbone. I am in your long-term Mirilax club!

How long have you been dealing with motility problems? What type of food are eating?
