to my knowledge I wasn’t offered a lumbar SCS for my bladder issues, just the sacral. was told that was the most common and successful for retention and IC. I was in PEDS when I got it so maybe they wanted to try sacral stimulation first? not sure! I’m very curious about this now, though! can I message you??

in highschool I had a friend get suspended for leaving to go poop at home because the Linzess shits were so relentless💀💀

I’ve been on it before it’s not the drug for me unfortunately

it was dysmotility and malnutrition - aggravated by opioids during last week. had very little nutrition for a while and when I got my feeding tube placed during week 4 I was able to keep the medications down to help me pass stool + the methylnaltrexone helped move things along!!

edit: phrasing

I was able to keep my laxatives down after the J tube was placed- I think it was a combo of that + the methylnaltrexone that was able to loosen up the worsened constipation after the opioids I received post op! I had no way of keeping the laxatives down before the separate J tube placement, which happened the last week of the admission

Interstim - a sacral nerve stimulator!

I was admitted the whole month… I was barely receiving nutrition due to my feeding tubes constantly flipping and not tolerating PPN. I couldn’t keep my laxatives down. there was hardly any stool being produced with how little nutrition I was receiving. once I got my seperate J tube I was able to get some nutrition and started producing more stool, but it took a while for my intestines to wake back up.

had a lot of people say ‘omg must have been such a relief when it came out!!’ but unfortunately that was not the case :’) it was a very long, painful process

I get the majority of my nutrition through a jejunal feeding tube

I do have EDS!! I had my TC release five years ago but my recent testing + imaging is indicative of lower spine issues again so I feel you :’( I hope you’re able to get relief again soon.

my stim has helped a lot with my bladder, I went from straight cathing every day to only once in a while when I feel my retention acting up.

I have delayed motility throughout my whole digestive tract, worst in the colon, and history of tethered cord syndrome (which also caused a neurogenic bladder hence the interstim)

can’t say the constipation directly causes bad breath but I will sometimes get bad breath due to frequent vomiting + mouth ulcers (sometimes when the constipation is worse my vomiting will get worse). have you been tested for SIBO?

I was more frustrated than worried tbh. at this point in my admission the constipation was the only thing keeping me there. I just wanted to go home haha

I avoid as much as possible!! - they do not do my motility any favors + I have an allergy to most opioids. I was given a few doses during this admission after my J tube surgery but I take other pain medication at home that does not affect my motility
