if constipation is your only symptom i seriously doubt it. if things are not better by your next visit, it would be good to remind him also, that the meds you take can cause constipation, and about the high protein diet you observed for several months. tell him any supplements you take, also. i believe he will work with you on med dosing, different meds, and diet/fluids, first. i think the colonoscopy would only be considered if all of that is an epic failure, or if you have other serious symptoms
even when you have normal bowel movements (stool discoloration, pain, bleeding, etc.) painful movements and bleeding are fairly common if one is constipated so that would not count.

I am just so down. My medications aren't working.

i'm sorry.
you are being really really brave facing this medical challenge. you did really well telling your doctor about the constipation, so now he can help you, and you can feel better and move on. i think you'll feel better mentally also with this problem behind you...omg, no pun intended!
anyway, you know what i mean.

I have to make an eye appointment. last time he had trouble taking a reading from the back of my eye which scared me. I just seem to be scared of everything.

this is more pressure. perhaps get the physical over and then do this. one thing at a time. do you always go to the same doctor or is it a clinic and you get pot luck? i hope things go smoothly this time.
