i tried i tried 5 pills of BISACODYL 5MG) and it worked.
i turned down alice's offer to pay the 250 for pudge's blood test. I am pretty certain if pudge needs surgery and medicine which would be very expensive i will just use my savings and pay. that seems to feel right.
i am finally getting my hair cut in two weeks at a new place. kathy will take me. she wrote she would like to take me afterwards to a place around the corner that has outdoor seating. i wrote how sweet and that i would pay the cab fare. i don't think how bad my walking is.

made another appointment for blood test and asked if vet would tell me approximately how much the surgery and medicine would cost if pudge needed it and said would definitely have it done.

i feel so nauseated and have a stomach ache. very depressed.

I am glad that the biscodyl worked for you.
I wondered why there were not any mag citrate bottles on our shelves at the grocery store.
So happy that you like to read and learn.
I don't read much at all.
Sorry your tummy hurts so much,
Damn IBS.

very depressed and scared. don't know if they will make magnesium citrate any more because it was contaminated. i still have some bottles left and still drink them. last night tried Mag 0. it worked a bit after a while. I learn so much from the facebook site. I made friends with a lovely woman whose husband is very wealthy and a genius and they commute between boston and San Francisco for his business. She has a ph.d in health psychology which I don't understand. She said he is incredibly helpful and loving and plays the piano beautifully. She plays the guitar and HAVE CONCERTS together. He has figured out all about magnesium and taught her and they will make some themselves. She said she would send me some. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T GO TO THE BATHROOM FOR A MONTH and is so terrified. She just went a little. She also is terrified of what to eat. She was never heavy but now weighs 118 pounds and is 5 8. She walks a mile a day. She knows so much more about what food to eat than I do.
yesterday i had oatmeal and buckwheat and two nuked potatoes. I have to have half and half in my coffee. YESTERDAY I THOUGHT I MIGHT OVERDOSED ON THE NEW LAXATIVE WHICH COULD BE FATAL. She reassured me that a lot of people on the site take that amount and it was another type of magnesium which would be fatal. HUGE RELIEF. Stupid things things I DO WHN I FEEL DESPERATE.
I called the vet twice to try to find out that if Pudge needed surgery and medicine how much it would cost. He didn't respond. SH@T.
I had written to Alice how generous she has been to me and if Pudge needed surgery and medicine I would take it from my savings which I already I am using. That was a f@Cking SH@tty bipolar thing to write because of guilt.I obviously don't know how long I will live. Just for insurance I will be paying over 260 a month besides initial big payments besides medicare. I wrote her this morning and said I goofed and was up all night worrying about what I wrote. I wrote I COULD PAY 1000 and would welcome her help if need be. my bipolar really interferes with my judgment. Of course it has made my stomach ache worse because there is a connection between IBS and emotions.
I really do adore the book about LIVIA and Roman society. the writer has read all the ancient sources to write it. what a goldmine.

no stomach ache. just going to use that laxative. gentle. still have to go. will stop drinking the contaminated bottles. did laps in hall and so much easier without stomach ache. still ultra anxious.

I'm glad she had her blood test too. Sounds like it was needed.

Good luck with the next test.

Donna

Wrote first response before I found the rest of them. But I hope
you start to feel better with your stomach. Sounds like the new
person you found is smart and a good connection for you ibs problems.

Hoping you can continue to find the answers.

Donna

I am glad that you are out of pain for now and that you made some laps in your apartment.
happy for you, glad that alice understood.

donna,
you realize that doctors don't have a clue. so far today no stomach aches.
love,
bobby
my poor new friend is so impacted. it didn't happen when she had magnesium citrate liquid. i offered to send a few of my bottles but i guess it was too complicated. i read such awful things that happen when you are impacted but no way i mentioned them. she doesn't want to got o the hospital and her husband is besides himself. i freaked. i read plane travel i didn't mention that. can make ibs worse. they commute between the east and west coast.
love,
bobby
