Follow-up Constipation

You'll recall from my earlier post that when I called to talk to the doctor on Memorial Day they told me to take Colace. When the doctor opened on Tuesday they called me and told me to take Myralax and Colace. So I was on my way to get my blood drawn and I picked up the Myralax. Got my weekly blood drawn and came home. I took one cap full and decided I was going to relax until the husband got home from work.

About 30 - 45 minutes after I took the Myralax my stomach started cramping horribly. I was doubled over in pain and crying. So when the husband got home we called the doctor who recommended an ER visit. Being stubborn, I said no and voted for a walk instead. Flash forward to 10pm when I decided the doctor was right because I was still cramping. We got there, took x-rays and luckily nothing was wrong. Just constipated with a back-up. Got home at 3:15am but I had to be back for chemo the next day at 10am. Yuck!

I'm now on a daily routine of Myralax and Colace until everything gets back to normal.

The only new news is that I'm super tired. I feel like I had the flu. Everything aches, I'm tired and I'm cold all the time. I hope this is just from lack of sleep this week.
