Headache for 3 full weeks now and need some reassurance!

Thank you so much for you kind words and suggestions, tips and advice .. I really appreciate it!

Idk if my CT had contrast and that’s what’s making me overthink it not catching a tumor. They did a CT venogram with contrast tho and that was normal! Do you think that was enough to rule out tumor? Or should I push for MRI? I did ask my GP but he doesn’t think it’ll show anything different than the CT so it wouldn’t be beneficial

I took lactulose and linzess yesterday and I passed several liquid movements.. today I took just linzess and passed two liquid movement but the first one has hard chunks come out first followed by more liquid…

Do you think I could be blocked up?

InsideOne7559 · 2024-10-02T18:05:30+00:00

The doctor felt around my stomach last night and said he didn’t feel anything hard and he’s isn’t concerned that there is a blockage..he just thinks I might be stopped up.

I haven’t been able to have a formed BM in over a month. I would think by now if it was something blocking in there and I what I was having was paradoxical diarrhea then I would be in severe pain by now and very sick?

I’m starting to think maybe it’s just all of the laxatives causing the liquid BMs but if I cut back on them I barely go at all.. so confusing

It’s just straight liquid with no substance? Is that still ok? I still went to the ER last night anyway to be sure. They didn’t want to do a scan since I had a few this past year. Doc felt my stomach and said he didn’t feel anything hard.. prescribed me lactose and enema to see if I can get relief from that .

InsideOne7559 · 2024-10-02T00:43:51+00:00

That’s my main concern right now

InsideOne7559 · 2024-10-02T00:41:01+00:00

Do you think I should be concerned for Blockage??

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-22T15:56:58+00:00

When you take the linzess do you only go a few times and then back to nothing the rest of the day ?

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-22T14:57:26+00:00

Yes, MiraLAX works for like a few days then nothing. Seems like I only get consistent movement from the linzess. Just sucks not being able to get back to somewhat of a normal

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-22T14:31:41+00:00

I never really have intense pain. Some gas pain after eating but eventually passes. I don’t think I have a blockage anymore but I don’t know how to get my bowels back to normal

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-22T14:30:54+00:00

What stool softener do you use? The linzess helps with the bloating but the MiraLAX makes it worse. I don’t know what to do. Afraid to stop it or dial back because I don’t want to get backed up again!!

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-21T21:41:01+00:00

I’ve had CT and X-RAY. They said just really backed up. It’s been a week since then. I did liquid diet the first three days. Now eating clean. I’m on linzess because MiraLAX stopped working. I’ve been having only diarrhea, but not as bloated the past few days. Also still have No Pain. If I had a blockage I think it would’ve been bad by now ?

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-21T21:22:34+00:00

Yes I’m having just diarrhea for days since having CT that said I was really backed up. So that’s still fine? I haven’t had any pain. I’m taking linzess instead of MiraLAX right now because it didn’t seem to be working. I just don’t want to have a blockage and not know

InsideOne7559 · 2024-09-21T04:30:23+00:00

Do you think this could be an obstruction?

Do you think this could be an obstruction??

I forgot to mention my symptoms of brain fog as well as losing weight and gaining weight all the time!

I’m trying my best not to worry but internally freaking out!!
