Urgent! What works for chronic constipation to the point I simply can't go?

[Pixiedust1973]

Not been to the toilet for over a week now. Got to the stage where I cannot eat. Nothing is working I have tried exlax chocolate, suppositories, laxido (8 sachets) & dulcalax pico pearles plus lots of water. The out of hours GP prescribed the pico pearles last night & I took them about 10 1/2 hours ago as well as the max dose of laxiod again & suppositories. Supposed to work within 6 to 12 hours, still nothing.. What else can I try? I don't want to spend Christmas day on the toilet or unable to eat. :(

So sorry for you, I hope this is resolved really quickly for you, it's such miserable problem :(

[Mmmbacon]

Hope you are ok and have had some movement, that your dh and dad got home safe and you have a wonderful and unrestricted day tomorrow

[Pancakeflipper]

Pixie - hope you ok.
Never been as bunged up as you but just straight forward constipation is painful enough.
Hope you get home to your bed/own loo soon.

[Pixiedust1973]

Still in hospital I'm afraid. Had 2 enemas which didn't work so being kept in. They are about to put me on a drip. Oh deep joy. Will laugh about it one day. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Hopefully things move tomorrow & I can go home. :) Happy Christmas to all & crappy Christmas to me hopefully lol. xx

Oh dear. Have they done an xray?

[Pixiedust1973]

Yes. Did x ray & bloods. Can see blockage. Its quite high up, hence enemas & suppositories not working. :(

[lougle]

Poor you, no wonder you've been feeling so sick. What a horrible thing to have at this time of year. Another time, do go sooner - it can really make you very poorly with fever, etc., and you can even end up vomiting faeces. It's no small matter and nobody will ever think you're being melodramatic.

[piratecat]

oh my god woman. you poor love.

thank god you are in the right place. hugs to you xxxx

[Pancakeflipper]

Hoping you poo soon x

[ILoveGlyfada]

Hope you get sorted out soon.
At least you are in good hands now.

[Iworrymyselftosleep]

I'm glad you're finally being looked after. Hope you feel better soon

[IHaveSeenMyHat]

Oh no, I'm sorry it turned out to be as bad as it sounded.

I hope they have a treatment plan for you and you get well cared for.

[Pixiedust1973]

Some sleep would be nice. Would be quieter at Piccadilly circus. :(

[Allice]

You poor thing, hope you're sleeping now and get some movement soon.

[Shnickyshnackers]

Oh dear of you, I'm hoping you get to go soon and then everything will quickly start to feel better for you.

[WhispersOfWickedness]

You poor thing, hope they manage to sort you out soon and you don't have too awful a day

[Pixiedust1973]

Thanks all. Merry Christmas! Xxx

[kalidasa]

Hope you are ok OP. I too have reached the enema-in-hospital stage, that is grim enough let alone that failing to work. Hope you have some answers soon.

[lougle]

Merry Christmas Pixiedust!
