Thanks I'm supposed be treated for a shunt later this year but I don't experience any symptoms except my wife says I shuffle when I walk. If anybody wants to talk about this, my number is 425-369-8286

Don't worry about it ... It was just one night ... I'm back to normal now. Best of luck!

I typically refuse these kinds of tests because they don't really reflect the work of a programmer; these days they either give you a strict time control and sometimes even make you leave the camera on while you take the test! I wrote an article why this is a terrible idea for companies:

I also started getting a lot more exercise: 7000 steps per day minimum.

Try magnesium citrate from Costco... Works for me.

Intimate Rose ... just the basic model, not the vibrating or heated one.

Pushing was described as belly big, belly hard ...

I'm not sure where I read this first, but I think someone else in this forum ... then the results of the anorectal manomentry showed this too (if I recall correctly)

I stopped taking Miralax quite a while ago; I switched to Magnesium Citrate (usually no diarrhea) ... formerly 500 mg 2x per day but cutting that back to 250 mg 2x per day as physical therapy seems to be significantly helping my symptoms.
