Hi ginny let me try to explain this as bestas i can! I do have a bm
movement and the stools are soft i assume thatsfrom the water i
drink:).But i will go maybe 3 times really well sometimes but i can eat
and feel like going again but nothing! I constantly feel like going even
though i'v already went so confusing! Yes i get cramps and bloating and
it always feels like something is in there. My upper left side has been
bothering me, the last time i was in the ER they told me i was full of
it but at that time i was'nt going at all at least now i go but at least
3 to 4 times a day what a pain literally! I'v thought about going back
to the er but they do nothing for you they do not listen i say adhesions
they look at me like i'm crazy! Now i'm getting nausated all the time
along with exhaustion!! I tell my 2 older kids and husband if it was'nt
for my daughter i would'nt be here! I guess i'm having a hard time
dealing with this! But you hit it right on the nose all that you
described is how i feel! Gosh i'm not crazy! My husband is wonderful but
i know its hard on him and the kids i'm so moody all the time and tired!
I pray i'll make until aug.
Big hugs to you ginny!
