@lorirenee1 Thank you for the suggestion!! Natural fruits like prunes have definitely been helping (vs Colace and Miralax which don't do anything at all) so I will definitely try the papaya. I had never heard of an "internist" before you and @techi suggested it. I have been looking for a PCP so I'll asking about the CBC panel/urine culture. I've had lab tests at the campus health services and they all came back normal but I'm......not sure I trust that, considering what's been going on.
And I'll consider yoga because you're right, I'm very fearful. I can suppress it on most days until I see a weird spot on my arm or my muscles twitch and then I get really panicked. I appreciate that you picked up on that, it's hard to keep under wraps.

Best of luck to you. Primary care physician and internist are the same. Internist is an older term. And do try the papaya. Its a digestive tract "normalizer." A bit of deep breathing, good music, yoga, good docs,.....best of luck....Lori Renee

Definitely want a Dean of Internal Medicine if you can get one. I had to go to a drug called Amitiza and a syrup called Lactulose because all natural, Metamucil, Miralax, etc. couldn’t solve the problem that my stomach wasn’t digesting after 72 hours, colonoscopies and esophograms were a combination of waterboarding and starvation without REPRESENTATION;)! Good luck on your quest; I have had to go the TOP of every specialty in the WORLD in order to close down the REFERRAL out to tens of sub-specialties out there!!!
