Slow gi motility with severe constipation

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?

Thanks for the tag, @lisalucier. Hi, @cpeffer.

I have been reading your comments. I can’t really keep up through all of them but enough to know you are miserable and not getting any better. I am so sorry you are dealing with all this pain and stress.

Some of what you have written feels familiar to me. I have been at a place with my health that I was not getting help I needed, and I really did feel like death would feel better. I’m not sure if that is what you are saying, or if you feel like there is something happening that you believe is killing you, and you need someone to help you.

You are dealing with a lot right now. What is the top thing bothering you the most, and do you have someone helping you with it? What do you think needs done?
