@bb03 I know I might die, I have a malpractice lawyer, giving power of attorney to my aunt and girlfriend, my bowels aren't moving, I'm scared, the new gastro Dr I seen on Monday ordered the sitz test. But it should have been ordered 6 weeks ago. I'm so pissed off this could have been avoided, I'm really starting to feel bad, I don't sleep I barely eat, because I feel like im just killing myself, Why didn't my first 3 gastro Drs order this test??? Why??? I just don't understand. They just kept telling me fiber water Linzess miralax, stuff that stopped working August 27th

Hi, @cpeffer - I hear that you are scared. I'm also really sorry you feel you might die. It must be extremely frustrating that your bowels are not moving and you're barely sleeping or eating.

That is very unfortunate that the remedies you'd been given stopped working Aug. 27. Presumably, you've not seen any forward progress from that time, if I understand correctly.

I'd also like you to meet @jlharsh. She may have some thoughts for you at this time.

Why do you think you are feeling like you are just killing yourself at this point? Are you feeling frustrated that the delay in the Sitz marker test, or radiopaque marker study, could have been avoided, or with something else?
