No long finger nails on my caregivers J Our healthcare would be sooooooo much easier if we could check into the hospital and have everything done at once! Even outpatient where we could be on a bed and just do all testing in one day.

Make sure your attendants aren't shoving sharp long nails down there. Miralax will help you to some extent. You have the right idea, find a way to get checked into the hospital to evaluate your rectum. Then all the specialists are right there an can give your options to you. Back in 01 when I started having pain I went in to the hospital and got my colonoscopy done and they did scans and evaluated the pain, offered drugs as well. People have no clue that we cant get on tables and a proper examination is impossible unless you have a person that can lift you up on the table. I just told all my docs the situation and they helped me get in the hospital. Im not sure how people do proper bowell routines without digital stim. If you get some hard stool packed in there its never coming out anytme soon. You would have to run the program so your bowels are so loose you would go everytime you bent over.

I’m pretty sure my rear is prolapsing……….way beyond hemorroids nicki From: Derrick Winegardner [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2014 5:09 PM To: nichole rohling Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Procrastination did u try mirlax? thank god it saved my butt. i tried everything and nothing helped. now, i have not done digital stim in year or more. i had hemorrhoids bad. i had 2 cut out in surgery , left 1 there.

They can’t tell me if their rooms are big enough for my lift to do a transfer but I’m welcome to send someone by to measure and look to see. I live 70 miles away. I was hoping pictures of my rear hanging out would suffice on the 1st visit but they said no, they would have to do an exam (and my butt barely fits on a procedure table at the gynecologist’s office)……….. I’m thinking a trip to the ER at the hospital where they do surgery sounds like less hassle……. and I imagine if my blood pressure is anything like this morning 154/135 that’s reason enough to go to the ER (then again they may treat my blood pressure and tell me to follow up with the doctor about what’s causing it) This is why I’ve put it off for so long……..it’s not an easy task! Bowel program was this morning which made it worse……..and I’m finally coughing up crud from upper respiratory infection which apparently is causing my butt pain because I get a pounding headache when I lean forward and cough. I finally took a lortab and think I will take 1 in the morning about an hour before I get up to shower(hopefully it will block the pain and help me not to get dysreflexic). Curse words J Also, I have a prescription for Clonidine for when my blood pressure gets high but I’m scared to take it because I’m afraid it’ll make it bottom out……..my norm is 90/60. Anyone else use this for bouts of AD? Any and all suggestions please. Nicki c5/6
