help me... i dont know what to do...

[mikedastonfj1100]

This might be a bit weird posting something like this on a forum of bikes and what not... But the last two weeks I have not sh*t and now I'm starting to feel nauseous... I almost past out last night riding home from work.... I would think the vib from my bike would keep me regular... Not working...i think my intestinal track is trying to shut down.... I don't want to go to the doc if I don't have to... Is there any thing I can do.... This is serious... Please help if possible...

Assuming you are indeed serious, why the hell would you wait two weeks? This is getting into dangerous territory, that kind of thing can kill you.

I'd say, eat a couple of boxes of prunes, but I'm not sure after two weeks that would be enough. You can try that, and/or some over the counter laxative. There is this disgusting liquid stuff, magnesium citrate, usually works pretty well. If a bottle of that doesn't fix you in an hour or so, you might be ER material.

I have heard of that mag. Citrate stuff... Does it really work and where can I find it?

Worked every time I tried it. Any pharmacy should have it.

+1 on the mag citrate. Work from both ends. Use a couple of stool softener suppositories.

If this does not work within a couple of hours, get to a doctor ASAP.

2 weeks is entirely too long. You are at a high risk of sepsis. DO NOT fuck around with this condition.

There are a lot of reason you could be constipated. Lack of water, fluids is the first. If you are having pain see a MD, if there is any blood, go to the ER. We use walk in clinics around here, they're faster..  Try a OTC laxatives, Milk of Magnesium is a mild one. My family just drank beer, sometimes a lot of beer. Go on webmd.com.

Mike, why don't you want to go to the doctor?  if it's money, is having a doctor bill worse than being dead?
If the stuff the guys are recommending here doesn't work tonight, GO TO THE DOCTOR!

[Zwartie]

GO TO THE DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY!!!

On a side note, thank goodness for Universal Health Care! I feel sick, I go see my doctor. I feel really sick, I go to Emerg and don't think twice about whether I can afford it or not.

Did I mention that you should see your doctor right away?

No ER will turn away anyone needing treatment, money or no money. There are all sorts of ways to handle the bill even if you don't have insurance.

Not that any of this matters. If you haven't pinched a loaf by now, go to the ER tonight.

I will let u all know what happens tomorrow... Felt like I was about to die there for a min...

Do you mean you've been trying enemas and magnesium citrate over the past two weeks?
If they're not working, go to the doctor now.

Eat prunes for dessert. I'm serious about this. Buy boxes of prunes, and whatever sweets you eat, eat prunes instead. I do this at first sign of that sort of trouble. There is a chance you overdo it, but blowing up the bowl for a bit is far preferable to getting poisoned with your own body's waste.

Do you really want your obituary to read "killed by his own bowels"?
