Hi,
Thank you so much for the info. Not to be gross but last week I had to help my movement out a bit (if you know what I mean) and that has only happened one other time about a year ago. One day I was okay and the next I was straining. It felt like gave birth the wrong way. : ) I do take Miralax but I know I'm not drinking enough water, and I love water, go figure. I am trying to increase my water intake (I started today to really up my intake). As far as exercise goes I am guilty of not doing enough. I will start to walk more with the cooler weather coming. I like walking in the cold weather versus humidity (that kills me). As far as the Miralax goes did your doctor recommend the amount you are taking and how long have you been taking a capful once a day? I sometimes wait too long and then it takes about 2 - 3 days to get me going. My bad. This straining is getting old pretty quickly. I also take stool softeners. Re your hernia, is it like a Hiatel (spelling>)hernia? I have one of those. Thank you again so much for your replay, I really appreciate it.
Nancy : )
