Bobby, I know that doctors can really put on the pressure sometimes, but you always have to the right to say no… to anything. It is your body. You are allowed, and should be able to feel free to, to go seek care for one thing and refuse to be tested/treated for something else.

I think this is the doctor we talked about explaining your anxiety to? Have you gotten a chance to do that yet? I would hope he would be more sensitive towards you after a talk like that, but regardless, I can understand why you would want to avoid approaching him about this "area."

If you don't want to go to the doctor because of this issue, you can try taking a fiber laxative like Metamucil or Fibercon and an osmotic like Mirilax together to try to get and keep things going. I recommend the fiberCon, and buying the generics for both.

And maybe let's not talk about the test anymore… ?
