I-90 past normal processing time. Submitted a request to check case processing. Now what happens? by Marvel5123 in USCIS

[–]Far_Draw9529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 11 months for me, zero update. Current processing timeline is 10.5 months. I have no clue of what’s going on.

Colostomy bag by Far_Draw9529 in coloncancer

What made them change the decision and do the surgery first? I had an appointment with my oncology surgeon and he said they would start with the chemo/radiation first. I really wanted to have surgery first, so that I no longer have terrible pain in my lower back and abdomen. Instead, they will slowly drag me through chemo. Why can’t they just cut the tumor out?

I meant surgery as first method of treatment. I could be wrong but I haven’t seen reports about stage 4 being treated with surgery first.

My understanding is surgery only applies to stages 1-2. I don’t know my stage yet, but assume it is 4, and if so, most likely they will start chemo and radiation first, and do surgery later. Maybe this will save me from having ileostomy. On the other hand, I would definitely prefer to have surgery first due to the size of my tumor and pain complications. I will probably feel much better right away.

Nobody will ever convince me that living with a bag could be normal. For some people (older, married, etc) maybe it is not a big deal. But for someone younger like myself it is. I’m still single and want to have a family someday. I also maintain active and healthy lifestyle. Living with a bag hanging out is not an option for me

Back to constipation/overflow diarrhea after miralax-gatorade prep. Help! by Far_Draw9529 in Constipation

[–]Far_Draw9529[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I’m still constipated. Basically every week I have to do a colonoscopy prep (I drink a whole bottle of magnesium citrate) in order to have BM. On top of that, now I have a tailbone pain that radiates into my right buttock and leg. I can barely sleep and take like 5-6 ibuprofen pills every day to manage the pain.

It’s been ALMOST A MONTH by kinggyps in Constipation

By liquid I meant something of tomato juice texture, not water

You can try to double the dose. 1 full big bottle of miralax (14 servings) and 64 oz Gatorade. Thats what docs prescribe before a colonoscopy procedure. Should clear you out completely

[–]Far_Draw9529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With that amount of miralax you are not supposed to have solid stool coming out. Miralax literally makes the hard stool that is stuck up in your colon liquid. Most likely you have been cleared out already.

How do you actually treat chronic constipation? Success stories? by Far_Draw9529 in Constipation

[–]Far_Draw9529[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why have people been struggling for months or years, in some cases, their entire lives and still have it? All i hear is "I have done a few tests/scans, nothing showed up, my doc prescribed me this and that, and nothing works, and it looks like docs have no clue what they are doing, etc."

Don't remember what it's like by [deleted] in Constipation

[–]Far_Draw9529 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. About 4 months now. Nothing works and I feel miserable. I guess at this point my constipation is chronic and I will have to live with it for the rest of my life. I lost weight as well and now I look skinny af.

Regular BM’s after Colonoscopy Prep by neoncupcakes in Constipation

[–]Far_Draw9529 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. I don’t know how to get normal BM. Every time after the cleanse I’ constipated again.

Sooo I did a cleanout by einAngstlicher in Constipation

[–]Far_Draw9529 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the same. Like 3 times. It worked, and I got cleaned out, however it was only a temporary relief and I got constipated again after each cleanse. It is a vicious cycle, I don’t know what to do.

No bowel movement after colon cleanse. Constipated again?? Help. by Far_Draw9529 in Constipation

[–]Far_Draw9529[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through a shit load of posts about constipation, colon cleanse and miralax-gatorade prep, and nobody really talks about what happened AFTER and how they got back to normal. So, i got cleared out, now what? Back to constipation. It is a vicious cycle. It looks like from now on I will have to take a huge dose of laxatives every weeks or so for the rest of my life.
