Constipation and Sacral Nerve Stimulation?

@jlharsh Hi. I've had the initial phone call and submitted the forms for setting up a consultative medicine appointment at Mayo in Rochester for this summer when I am on break from teaching and can travel. I also found a doctor in the region who will at least talk with me about sacral nerve stimulation implants for self-pay patients (though it may not be at all within my budget). Yes, I will check back in with updates.
I have spoken with many doctors about the Miralax situation, but will now try spreading the doses out over the course of the day. Thanks again.

Good progress, @roseee.
Yes, budget always seems to come into play. I understand how important it is to really prioritize how I spend my money because there are a lot of good things out there. I can’t possibly have enough money (or time) for them all. I admire how you are going about finding the best of good options for yourself!
After thinking about my routine a bit I have a bit more that may help. I am taking the Mirilax between the same time as, up to an hour after I eat my morning snack and last meal of the day for the most part. The senna I take at bed time and when I get up at 5am takes about 10-12 hours to work, and really a while of taking it to settle in. I originally set up working in the Mirilax a couple hours after the times the senna would take effect. I hope that makes sense.
We are all so different, and I am hopeful you will find relief. I look forward to hearing more as you learn.
