Fissure surgery in 2005

[Poopedout]

I had a Fissure surgery in 2005 , in June 2004 , I got blood work done to find out my hemoglobin was seven ! I was half empty with blood because when I went to the bathroom blood would come out but I didn't think it was that much , anyway I had to go right to the hospital when the bloodwork report came back and nine doctors looked at me in the emergency room and asked me what color the blood was and so on but all they did was admit me into the hospital and put two bags of blood in me overnight , and I went home the next day and was still bleeding not every time I went to the bathroom but randomly ? so they sent me to a Gastro into Rolla jus so they sent me to a Gastro Dr. and even though I told him the same thing I told the nine doctors in the hospital that the color of the blood was his red as the blood would come out if you cut you and even though I told him the same thing I told the nine doctors in the hospital that the color of the blood was The same color as if you cut your finger and it started bleeding, that color ? Anyway he did a colonoscopy my first one and it didn't hurt or anything and I didn't even know they did it after I woke up and The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me ? I was still bleeding after that and the doctor did another colonoscopy , same thing woke up didn't know they even did anything went to work the next day but was told I was healthy and there was nothing wrong ? But still continued to lose blood when I went to the bathroom ? So I told him that and he sent me to was supposedly specialist , a surgeon in March 2005, 9 MONTHS AFTER The blood transfusion I had in the hospital in June 2004 . So I drop my pants and bent over and it was an even three seconds and the doctor was mesmerized and said I have a DEEP FISSURE ? I said what is that ? And she continued to say I have a deep Fissure 5 TIMES and actually looking up at the ceiling ? So I looked up and said finally what's a fissure ? And she said I had such a deep hole and aren't you in pain and you drove yourself here today and so on ?? Anyway the doctor said I have to have surgery ? And the surgery happened the beginning of May 2005 , so for one month I was out of work and on pain medicine for the pain ? So I saw the doctor and got released to go back to work and didn't need any more pain medicine and Went back to work The first couple days of the beginning of June 2005 , within the first week of working I had problems going to the bathroom ? Like I felt I had to go but it wouldn't come out and now I'm getting late for work and of course called the doctor and she told me to try this and try that but it just got worse , basically I went and saw the doctor more than a few times in the month of June and it was and got soul horribly painful right at the beginning of July that I was hospitalized and told I've have diverticulitis ? Didn't know what that was either but I was in the hospital for four days , when I first got to the emergency room of course they didn't give me anything for pain for about eight hours ! But when they gave me something for the pain within a few minutes I had to run with the IV bag and holding my robe shut to the bathroom and I sat down on the toilet and filled it up basically !!! And then stayed four days in the hospital left on Friday at noon , and was back at the emergency room 15 hours later at 3 o'clock in the morning ? The doctor in the emergency room at 3 o'clock in the morning that day said it was so ridiculous that I stayed here just this past week for four days on antibiotics ? after I told him I just left yesterday , anyway he gave me a prescription for Percocet and sent me on my way by 6 AM that day , so I was only in the emergency room for three hours that time ? Still going back-and-forth to this surgeon that found the hole in my butt , until August 2005 because of another real bad experience with vomiting and lotta pain ! They got to the point where she told me that I have colitis and she doesn't do it to find out she specialized in it later ?? Very suspicious ? Set me to a doctor that if I had colitis the doctor she sent me till would've sent me back to the surgeon ? Anyway I struggled with this trying to find doctors and went through various doctors so many CAT scans and colonoscopies I can't count ? ? Finally into thousand 11 I saw a lime disease doctor ? Somebody suggested this doctor because she not only does Lyme disease but helps with other things so I went to this doctor and they started anabiotic's because they said I had lyme disease , AND ALSO gave me a prescription for pain medicine for the pain I was experiencing in my stomach because the pain medicine actually was the only thing that would help me go to the bathroom ? It doesn't make sense because I had knee surgery and I had to get off the pain medicine in 1983 to actually go to the bathroom ? So I know it doesn't make sense but I was with her 11 months with the anabiotic's and by that time the 11 month lease up she said I was clear but I was up to 1030 mg Oxsee code own a day !!! YEAH THATS A LOT !! But I worked the entire year didn't lose any time I ate food normally slept fine and went to the bathroom amazing !!!! But I really didn't like the way the pain medicine made me feel , It didn't knock me out or make me tired , actually if I took the pain medicine past 7 PM at night I wouldn't be able to sleep that night it would keep me up ?? Anyway when she told me I was clear I said get these pills away from me I don't want them anymore and how my getting off on better if I'm still taking these pills ??? So I got off the pills and when I did that of course I got a little sick for three days and went back to work and basically I tried everything again ? A laxative stool softeners the whole 9 yards everything and more than prescribed to see if I could just go buy it called the lime disease doctor back to want to half months after I got off those stupid pills and said I'm right back to the way I was before I even know who you are so I don't know what this is but I can't go to the bathroom , And now I'm not only late for work but missing days and I just I'm calling you to tell you I'm not better yet ? Well of course The doctor didn't wanna see me anymore ? so then I went back to the gastroenterologist and by June 2014, I just couldn't make it out of the house to go to work anymore !! I was pooped out !!! I couldn't go anywhere except to the gastroenterologist once a month , and in between getting I don't know how many CAT scans and colonoscopies ? And still to this day I cannot go to work, "I am a worthless person" !! , at my house I can't do anything ? Can't even cut my grass and it's hard to even take the garbage out to the curb !!! I've had at least three or more doctors say it's a possibility that my Vegas nerve was damaged and that surgery in 2005 , because I brought up the Vegas nerve four years ago because I found that and read about that for five years ago when I started telling every doctor I saw since then about that , I don't even finish the sentence and they just say it's not from the surgery ?? And I've been yelled at saying it's not from the surgery before I even mention the word surgery ? Anyway I can't find a doctor now that will even help me ? And I've investigated investigated and got my own answers after the doctor not being able to answer my questions I've gone home and found my own answers on the Internet ? Why the doctors didn't know the answers because their doctors ? I'll figure ?? Anyway since they can't find out what's wrong with me I'm having trouble with disability and been denied and then tonight all the way past standing in front of a judge and now I'm on Medicaid and appealing to the federal government now my disability claim they have not given me any money ? And I worked for over 30 years and the carpenters union and made very good money and at the time I left work in 2014 I was a general foreman and running a company and had various clients and was running anywhere between 15 to 30 men, and sometimes more ? The point I'm trying to make is I did not want to not go to work I was making great money I had a company truck company credit cards and who would want to even walk away from that but I had no choice because I couldn't get out of the bathroom or my head was like a bowling ball I just felt like I had the flu like really bad but for years ?? So now it's hard to find a doctor that excepts Medicaid because I'm running out of money and trying to hold onto my house ? And I've been on pain medication now for the last three years plus , since I started going to a pain management over three years ago ? Stopped taking the pain medicine at the end of January in 2018 and by the time April 1 game 2018 my own daughter drag me out of bed and brought me to the emergency room !!! They did x-rays or something and at the end of the eight hours a day on April 1 that he actually said why did you bother coming here even though they found swelling and things wrong inside me , so after telling them I haven't really eaten anything in the last two months I asked after he said why did I bother coming I asked what do you think I can eat ? And he said oh chicken and meat and vegetables and so on and I just bit my lip and said thank you and left !!! ?? Nobody listens to me ! Anyway I was in a lot of pain and very very hungry so I had to go back to pain management, The very next day after the hospital , and they put me back on the stupid pain pills ? 15 minutes after I took one pill I heard so much noise and felt so much move-in in my stomach and my gut and I haven't heard or felt anything like that and definitely more than two months ?? The next day I woke up at 6 AM in pain and had to take another pain pill and within 15 minutes I went to the bathroom so great , it came out beautiful and normal and that hadn't happened for months !!! Like I said , it doesn't make sense that these pills are not constipating me and allowing me to eat and go , but even that remedy taking pain pills to go to the bathroom is getting old the tolerance is in there , you get used to them and the only thing I can do is eat a very tiny bit , and then I can go to the bathroom on the amount of pills I have prescribed to me every month ? And other words I have one small boiled peeled potato that I met Shop once a day and if I eat anymore than that I either get sick or throw up ? And if I eat more than that and it stays in me I don't have enough pain medicine to get it out it seems like ? So it's like torture ? Pain management doesn't want to give me more because they say they can't so I have to just eat one potato a day so that it will come out with the medicine I have provided ? It's almost like if you run out of gas and a car and you have a 5 gallon pail to go put gas back in your car so you can get it off the highway , They'll only put one pint of gas in the 5 gallon can , and that doesn't even get you to the exit , ( The toilet ). ? Because if I take a half a pill I start to feel the movement and then I'm OK for a little while but I still haven't gone , then the pain gets bad again so you take another half a pill at night and you feel the movement and the noise and sometimes it go and sometimes it just saddles and I'm OK for a little while and then the pain happens again and you take a half a pill and you feel the movement and then hopefully you get to the exit , ( The toilet ) ? And this is just because I eat one potato a day ? To tell you the truth I don't know how I'm still alive just eating that for the last more than six months it's gotten that bad ? And now pain management is saying that I should probably go to a psychiatrist and rehab and take those Suboxone's again that didn't do anything for me in the past January when I got off the stupid pills , they say to wait 12 hours after you take your last pain pill and I waited 20 hours and I just got sick and could not sleep a wink for one week ! Yup all week awake cannot fall asleep ? So I went back to pain management and he gave me more Suboxone which I didn't really need and he gave me Xanax and I finally got some sleep !! So like I said , if they enforce this and not give me pain medication I'm going to get real sick again and within maybe not even two months this time I'm going to be in the hospital OR DEAD ? Because I know I'm not gonna be able to go to the bathroom and I'm going to be too scared to eat anything ? Can't even drink chicken broth , been there done that that's even a problem to go through my system ? And I've told the doctors time and time again I've been on more than I don't know how many diets and I've told them and told them that it just doesn't matter what I put in my mouth whatever I put in my mouth doesn't come out of my stomach it feels like it feels like it just sits in my stomach and gets old and it either makes its way down by gravity or I puke it up ?? Anyway they didn't listen then they have it and I don't know if they ever will but I have a problem finding a doctor now especially since I only have Medicaid ??? So I'm very very sorry for this long long book I wrote but hopefully someone will read it and I am hoping and praying to God that someone will respond and hopefully give me a phone number of someone I can just talk to first without saying you have to come in and see me so I can look in his eyes and he tells me I can't help you sorry goodbye I would just rather talk to somebody on the phone preferably a doctor or someone affiliated with the doctor to take down what I'm saying and PLEASE HELP ME ?? And I'm not too sure how this works ? AND I surprise myself Getting this far with signing in and getting to the end of this book ? And I signed in using email so I hope I get some kind of response in an email but I will do my best to look back to this website or whatever this is to put my username and my password and see what happens if I don't get any emails within a couple of days I guess or if I don't get an email tomorrow I'm going to sign back in and see if anything happens ? I'm not the best with computers and right now I can't even think that's why I said I'm surprised that I even could figure this out to get into write this novel or book or whatever you wanna call it ??? I just hope somebody reads it and shows me a little mercy and get back to me somehow so I can get back to them then maybe hopefully get to the bottom of this so I don't need to take stupid pills anymore or worry about the doctor whether he's going to give them to me or not I am just out of it and really don't want to live on this planet anymore if I have to live like this much longer ? So whoever reads this ? THANK YOU FOR READING IT !!! AND I just somebody does read what I wrote ? And hopefully it is red and I can get some help finally which would be absolutely wonderful !!! If I didn't believe in God and was totally against suicide I would've been dead already ? I know that there's a lot of people out there that if they were going through what I was going through they would've killed them selves years ago but I trust in God and I pray every night and I am against suicide it's the wimp way out I'm going to hang in till God takes me in his time , I just don't know how I'm surviving and still alive now still with the tiny bit of food or sometimes I don't eat even a potato for three days ? And I just asked myself how does a human being survive and live like I'm living ? And just question myself on how am I still alive ? And the answer to that is God is keeping me alive because it is it my time to go to him yet and I have faith in God and since I'm still alive I think that maybe this whole book I wrote might get me some help finally ? Maybe this was gods plan all along for me to suffer this long before I get some help ? May be ? I don't know ? ONLY GOD KNOWS AT THIS POINT IN TIME ? And hopefully I get some help soon so someone else will know or find out what is wrong with me and can it at least tell me if I can get help for what this is or can't get help ? It's very hard for me to even concentrate writing what I wrote I'm running out of steam now and getting worn out basically ? And I'm not even doing anything but thinking a little bit ? AND I might've missed spelled some words in this long story or a book or novel so I just want anyone that reads what they just read to know that there might be some miss spelled words or words that don't make sense but most of it's there to make sense out of because I can't type all this and I'm using an iPhone and talking into it and looking at The words that come out as I talk them into the phone , and I have made adjustments on spelling but I don't know if I caught everything that came out wrong ? I did my best and I just want you to know there's misspelled words not on purpose and it's because I missed it because I'm talking into this device to make it type ?? So I guess that's about it and if there is anybody else here I'd probably be told to shut up you talk to much or whatever but I guess that's it - "THE END" - Thank You

That's dreadful the way you've been treated! I really feel for you in your despair.

I'm not medically qualified in any way but am just trying to think of a solution for you. I have a friend who had a narrowing in her bowel and wonder whether you could have the same thing? She had that portion of bowel removed. I don't recall how hers was diagnosed but will certainly ask her when I see her this week. You may have more than one thing going on in your bowel. Do you think you still have the anal fissure? If so you should surely be using some cream to help heal that.

For now how about liquidising all your food, perhaps even adding lots more gravy/fluid so it's like a drink that will go through your bowel easier. I'd go for eating/drinking this just a little, and often. I'm in the UK and am guessing you're in the USA? Over here we sometimes have t.v. programmes where people with unusual medical complaints can get help (but of course it's televised). Is there anything like that over there?

I hope other forum members come forward and give you advice, that will hopefully lead you to a cure.

By the way this is not really the type of forum to seek help for your complaint, it is for the heart complaint atrial fibrillation. You may get more answers if you copy your post and put it on to a forum relating to bowel problems.

Click on My Hub at the top of this page and search for a bowel related forum. I will also look for a more suitable site for you to.

Hoping you can get some help and wishing you well again.

Jean

Thank you for replying ! My anal Fisher was completely healed by the end of the month after surgery , when Doctor first found it The doctor said I need surgery right away and then the doctor suddenly said it was OK to idelay the surgery because I said I was going to cancel a vacation that I was going on in two weeks , for two weeks ? But like I said, all of the sudden it was OK to go on the vacation and have a great time and when you get back call me and will schedule the surgery and get it done ? But I said I'm not leaving for two weeks for two weeks so it's OK to delay this for six weeks or more ? And continued to say go away and have fun and just call me when you get back ? So I left and went back to work until I went on vacation but as soon as I left because the doctor didn't even give me a prescription for ointment or anything because in the doctors mind and eyes I guess it was too far gone and needed surgery right away ?? So since the doctor didn't give me any kind a prescription or suggest anything to put on it , or a saft to put on it , from that day until I got back to the surgery I was putting Neosporin on the area and then putting toilet paper over it and pulling my underwear up to hold the toilet papered to that , and if I went to the bathroom during the day or anytime there's always toilet paper in the bathroom and I always carried Neosporin and those baby wipes in a plastic bag so they wouldn't dry up so I could clean really good after if I had to go , and then apply the Neosporin again and new toilet paper . So I did that for two weeks and then went away on vacation and did it through vacation and I might be wrong but it might've been healing by itself by the time I got to the surgeon with the scalpel ? The knife ? Because it seemed like I wasn't bleeding that much in the toilet when I went as much as it was before I found out what it was and started putting Neosporin on it for the six weeks before the surgery ? So I really think that I have nerve damage to my Vegus nerve ? Because of the pain I get in I'm on pain medication and when I take the pain medicine I can hear her so much noise and feel so much movement in my stomach and intestines , and then I go to the bathroom and it comes out very soft and never comes out hard like a person would be constipated because of pain medication ? I know what that's like because I went through knee surgery in 1983 and I had to take the pain so I could go ? Now it seems like that's what keeps my stomach muscles and intestinal muscles going and moving ? After the surgery in 2017 in March , they had me on morphine in the hospital for the 4 or 5 days I was there , and the day I left a normal poop came out of me , and then I got a months supply of pain medicine , and the pain was very awful just from the surgery but I was finally able to eat a cheeseburger and pizza and submarine sandwich , I didn't go up anything down and shoot everything really good but the only thing was I ate almost a month supply of pain medicine in two weeks ? I had to go back to the pain management doctor and tell him that I'm going to run out before it's time but I am I've been going to the bathroom and eating and going to the bathroom and you would think there would be a red flag up because how come I'm not getting constipated ??? Like I said with the knee surgery I had I came home from that and I had to get off the pain medicine within three or four days so I could go ? It was hard enough to sit on the toilet with the cast that almost came up to my crotch on my left leg ? And I know we talked about if I still have a Fissure , but as soon as I went back to work I was on the phone with the surgeon almost every day because I couldn't go and I went to see her a few times before I was hospitalized with diverticulitis in July , and the doctor just ranted and rave Don how wonderful the scar looks inside my butt crack !!!! Kept going on anon Anna how nice the scar looks ? Like I really care about a scar on the edge of my butt ?? And thank you for your suggestions about liquidation that's basically doing that done that and even with just drinking chicken broth for 10 days it wouldn't come out , it basically either stayed in my stomach and made me feel sick or I threw it back up and if it stayed in my stomach it's just I guess went down by gravity because I was so dysfunctional and couldn't do anything and like I said if I I just had chicken broth it would sit there , so I had to be very careful not to drink too much because if I did that I throw it all up ? And I've read up a little bit on this pain medicine about how it re-wire is your brain ? So I think it actually does that rewire my brain and my brain send signals to make my stomach muscles work so that I can go ? But I'm just getting sicker and sicker and I'm gonna need a bigger and bigger a Band-Aid as a goal before I die if no one helps checked his nerve out that no one will help me and they don't want to give me any more than they're giving me because they think I'm some kind of a drug attic , which I know I'm addicted to them now because I've been on them for a long time , except for at the end of January in 2018 when I got off of them for over two months before I went back to the hospital and then back to pain management to get back those stupid pills so I could go , that's when I stop taking the pills at the end of January and couldn't sleep for eight days and all I did was drink water and really didn't eat anything for two weeks and when I tried to eat a little bit I what do either of vomit it up or if it stayed in my stomach it would end up making me feel sick like I have the flu , so it really wasn't till the third week I started to drink chicken broth because I was starving , water was an enough ? So I started drinking chicken broth for about 10 days and then I had to stop and just drink water for two days and then a little bit of chicken broth and then a little bit a water but by the end of the ninth week my daughter forced me to get in her car and she took me to the emergency room , and they said there was swelling and problems but when I was leaving the hospital said why did you bother coming here ???? And I told him everything and even about not eating so I bit my lip , but said OK what do you think I can eat when I get home or on a regular basis ? And that doctor said chicken and meat and vegetables and so on !!! I had to bite my tongue this time and just said OK !! But in my mind I was thinking they did not listen to one word I said and I left and went home , been to pain management the next day and as soon as I took the pill I heard so much noise and felt so much movement in my stomach that whole night , and I actually fell asleep but woke up at 6 AM in pain and tried to go and I couldn't and I took another pill and within 15 minutes I had a normal poop ? Where it came from I don't know because I was hardly eating anything the last two weeks before I went back to the hospital ? Sorry for writing so much but I'm very excited somebody is actually answers did that help because I've talk till I'm blue in the face and obviously I got nowhere ? Especially talking till I was blue in the face since I've been out of work since June 2014 !! But thank you again for answering and I'm not sure if I spelled everything right ? And it's just about 4 AM where I am in the United States ?

[jeanjeannie50 in reply to Poopedout]

I must admit I know nothing about your condition at all, but it sounds dreadful. It sounds to me (and I'm not medically trained) as though you have some sort of intestinal blockage. It is strange how the tablets you take work so quickly i.e. you said 15 minutes. Perhaps your bowel is not contracting as it should. Have you had any scans?

Jean

[Poopedout in reply to jeanjeannie50]

OH YES ! Over the past 10 years I've had just about 10 CAT scans ? And I think I'm up to seven or eight colonoscopies since 2004 ? In fact they did a CAT scan and a colonoscopy at the end of January 2017 , and then a barium enema in February 2017 , and then they went in to do the surgery at the end of March 2017 , to take out six or 8 inches of my large intestine out, on the left side, and when they went in to take that out they found my appendix enlarged and "Plastered" to half my COLON ! SO The surgeon had to remove my appendix half my colon and all the way up to the six or 8 inches they originally went in to take out , with the appendix attached to everything coming out in one piece because the appendix was so plastered he couldn't peel it off or anything so we had to take it ALL out in one piece , AND everybody's been saying there's nothing wrong with me ?? and it's in my head and go to a psychiatrist !!! they even mentioned viewing my appendix in the barium x-ray Report , it said and the appendix was viewed in the x-ray and normal ? !!! And the two recent tests the reports for them said no blockage and The barium x-ray report also said something about 2 cm ? And the surgeon and the gastroenterologist were both telling me it was only 2 cm ? Which they were telling me I was fine ? but I wanted it out because it was 12 to 13 years by then already and 4 years out of work !! But they really tried to talk me out of doing the surgery !! and the gastroenterologist that the surgeon sent me to for a second opinion before he does the surgery, and he sent me to a psychiatrist to release me for the surgery ???? So I did that and went to a psychiatrist to get released for surgery ? AND The psychiatrist didn't even know what to do ? He was in his late 50s or maybe 60 and he said this has never happened to me in my whole career ? that someone came here with this kind of request with the prescription ? because the gastroenterologist wrote me a prescription to give him and the psychiatrist had to call the doctor and find out from him what he was supposed to do that would release me for surgery ?? So that got done and of course I had that terrible surgery, and the first two weeks I was home after the surgery it was so painful from the surgery that I took more pain medicine that I was supposed to , but after a couple of days I got an appetite and ate pretty much normal slow real slow at first but by the end of the two weeks before I went back to the pain management doctor I was eating normal and going to the bathroom GREAT and not constipated at all whatsoever ? ? but still had a lot of pain from the surgery still ? So I went to pain management and he did give me more pills Buddy cut my dose in half and within three days I couldn't go anymore hardly ? And 2 days after that I started vomiting anything I ate even if it was one piece of bread with peanut butter on it ? So that happened on a Friday night and Saturday and Sunday I was very sick so I went to the emergency room at the hospital ? What a waste of time again !! Nobody's really listening the pain management doctor must be listening because he's prescribing me these pills , but no other doctor really believes me it seems like because these pills constipate people , but I think in my case right now which they don't understand is I think I have damage to the Vegus nerve when they did the Fissure surgery ? Because that's when all this horrible stuff started happening , two months after the surgery and one month after I was off the pain medicine ? Because I think these pills are doing something to my nerves which activates my stomach and intestinal muscles to make things start moving because I can hear it and feel it and see it come out ? And I don't get constipated when I take them ? And I should've gotten real constipated with in those first two weeks after being home from surgery ?? Like I said the last time I came home with knee surgery I had to get off the pain medicine within the week that I got home ? But I have to thank you very much for answering and reading these books I'm writing ? But you never know I might get an agreeable answer to what I'm talking about because I can feel everything and or get a different explanation to try to help ? which is wonderful that there still are people in the world that will try to help and care enough ? THANKS AGAIN !

[Polski in reply to Poopedout]

You could try taking a teaspoon of linseeds along with lots of water. That should help the constipation. If it is ok then gradually increase the amount of linseed up to about one tablespoon a day, depending on how easy it is then to go.

Also (organic if possible) cider vinegar in a glass of water may help your digestion. Start with a teaspoon, and gradually increase it each day up to one tablespoon. You can use it in any cooking you do as well.

Some vitamin C and a general vitamin and mineral tablet should help your overall health as well.

Best wishes.

[Poopedout in reply to Polski]

Thanks for responding ! And this might sound crazy but I've been on pain medication for the pain and it actually makes me go it doesn't constipate me ? And I'm really sick of taking these pain medicine pills but it's the only thing that works ? I have taken flaxseed , Apple cider vinegar , and vitamin C crystals , this all started in 2005 after the Fissure surgery I had done , so in the beginning I was taking stool softeners , laxative , whatever the doctor prescribed me and other products that say will make you go ? I discovered vitamin C crystals in 2007 or 2008 ? 5000 mg in a teaspoon and it worked really great !! But I was up to over 20,000 mg at a time so it was like my body was getting used to it and it wasn't really working anymore the way it was ? But the vitamin C crystals work better than anything !! ? But like I said that stopped working too ? Anyway , I got off the stupid pain pills at the end of January 2018 for over two months ? I was taking stool softeners , laxative , vitamin C crystals , Apple cider vinegar , the first week I couldn't eat or even sleep at all , The second week I really didn't have an appetite but I ate a little , and if I ate a tiny bit more I would either get really sick or than I am or vomit or both ? So basically I drank a lot of water and I would only eat a tiny bit and sometimes nothing for two or three days and it was a horrible nine weeks ! I ended up in the hospital in the emergency room on April 1, 2018 , because my daughter actually forced me to go to the hospital even though I knew they would do nothing for me and they didn't ? Well they did a CAT scan and some bloodwork and told me I was fine and why did I bother coming !!!! and just for fun I asked him what I could eat when I went home ?? after telling them everything ? and they said chicken and meat and vegetables and so on ? I just bit my tongue and said OK thanks by . So I went back to pain management the next day and they put me back on the stupid pain medication , and I got that prescription filled and took one pill and within 15 TO 20 minutes, not only did I feel movement in my stomach and intestines but a lot of noise that I haven't heard or felt in months ? But nothing happened or came out probably because I wasn't really eating the last week at all Before I went to the emergency room ? But the next morning I woke up in pain at 6 AM and took another pill and within 10 minutes I had the best poop I've had in months, even better than what I was doing right before I got off of the pain medicine in January ? And now in the past month I've been taking Life vantage Protandim NRF2 STNERGIZER , and about a week and a1/2 ago started taking Kratom Red Borneo all natural herbal supplement , and just got a bottle of Protandim NRF 1 Synergizer, it's supposed to be a real good product and they have testimonies about people getting better from arthritis and problems like I have and other bad problems, One testimony some guy couldn't walk and after a while he could walk ? Anyway I'm taking all of that , and still take it least of 5000 mg teaspoon of vitamin C almost every day but I don't wait any longer than every other day ? But if I eat more than one boiled peeled potato smashed up , i'll either get more sick , or vomit, or both ? So I've been going along like that for the last three months or more with just one potato a day and believe it or not vanilla ice cream at night , or I should say before I think I can laydown and go to sleep ? Because even though I'm tired right now if I go in laydown I'll have to get back up and sit in a chair, last night I should say early this morning I went and laid down also had my back started killing me right as I lay down so I lasted an hour and a half and got back up at 4:30 AM and stayed up till eight or 9 o'clock in the morning , and then got maybe three hours asleep woke up tried to go just Peed and went back to sleep so a total of maybe 5 1/2 to 6 hours a day I get which I don't do anything anyway ? So the potato and a vanilla ice cream is the only thing I figured out I can eat ?? I have just eaten the potato and not eat any ice cream for days and it seems like having the ice cream , but just plain vanilla ice cream helps for some reason ? But there still a problem every morning or whatever time I get up because like this morning I might've fell asleep before 9 AM and the day before that I think I fell asleep before 8:30 AM ?? So I get up and of course because of the pain and I try to go and I can't so I'll take that Kratom every day 1st thing because it says you can take it on an empty stomach , so I take that after I've tried to go and then I tried to walk around and try to go again and by that time I have to take a pain pill and within 15 minutes , at least this morning I had a very soft GREAT normal bowel movement ? POOP ! So then every day I have no appetite and I might start to get a little hungry 3 to 5 hours after I wake up and sometimes I'm not even hungry but I will have at least the one potato , this is the way it is every day ? Couple of days ago after I was up for 10 hours and already had my potato five hours ago, I just got, out of the blue , all nauseous and threw up in the sink !! It was mostly water and fluid but that went right down the drain and what was left in the sink was really thick gloppy snotty looking stuff ?? And I could feel it when it came out thick like that ? and it taste horrible and sour and tangy like it's bile most of it ? or some of it ?? I don't know what I've found information about the pain medication and what it does and everything and I found one place that said it re-wires your brain ? So it may be does something to my nerves to send signals to my stomach muscles and my intestinal muscles because like I said I heard so much noise and felt so much movement after I started taking them again after over two months of being off of them ? And in 2011 somebody suggested to go to this for Lyme disease doctor ? So I went to that doctor and of course I had lime disease but I went there for my stomach problems because that doctor helps a lot of conditions other than Lyme ? So she started giving me antibiotics and pain medication , I got anabiotic's IV three times a week and was taking Flagyl , after a month of getting IV or longer than a month I was getting sick and I stop the IV three times a week and just took the pills and of course I have a duffel us to put the good bacteria back but the pain medication kept going up and up ? At the end when she said I was clear I wanted off the pills and I was up to taken nine or 10 - 30 mg oxycodone a day !! ?? But that whole 11 months close to a year I went to work every day eight food normally and went to the bathroom every morning after taking the pain medicine ??? So I told her I don't want these when she said I was clear because how am I get off I'm better if I'm still on these pills ? So when I got off and then I was sick for three days and back to work to days after that ?? And that was in 2012 I started seeing her in September 2011 . Anyway I ended up trying everything again vitamin C crystals apple cider vinegar stool softeners laxative some other natural pills that were suggested ? So within 2 1/2 months I called the lyme disease doctor back and said " I am not better yet" ? I feel the same way before I knew who you were before I came to you ? And of course when I called I didn't talk to the doctor I talk to an assistant or something that said she will talk to the doctor and call me back, and I remember waiting 4 hours staring at the phone waiting for them to call me back, and I got a call back and the answer was NO, and she didn't even want to see me again ? So I started thinking that she's bank I just wanna come back to get drugs !!! ? Anyway I struggled and struggled and was later and later for work and missing days and by June 2014 I could not go to work anymore , and I was already back at the gastroenterologist for over a year after The lime disease doctor said she was too booked or couldn't see me anymore ?? And a Gastro into Rolla just gave me every pill in the book until he said that I gave you every pill in the book and I don't know what to do and he actually gave me a prescription for pain medicine and again I had the best poop ever again !! And he prescribed me those pills right around my wedding out of verse three and we went out and I got steak and lobster tail and crab and vegetables and clean the whole plate off in the next day I put a big "S" in the toilet, so I told the gastroenterologist that right away and he said I can't keep giving you these pills you have to go to pain management and that's when pain management started then two years later I got the surgery done where they went into take out 6 to 8 inches of my large intestine and when they went in they found my appendix enlarged and plastered to my COLON so they had to take half my COLON OUT with my appendix PLASTERED and attached to it, and all the way up to the original 6 to 8 inches all of large intestine that they were going to take out ! ?? After that surgery I went home with a months supply of pain medicine but the surgery pain hurts so much I over ate them but was able to eat cheeseburger, turkey and cheese sandwich, pizza normal food, other meat chicken vegetables potatoes normal stuff , and I was going to the bathroom no problem except for the surgery pain hurt but I had a normal poop and I had to go back to pain management and he lowered my dose and I was in the hospital within one week , first I wasn't going that great and I wasn't going to the bathroom at all then if I ate a piece of bread with a little peanut butter on it like throwing up within three minutes and that was the last two days and then I went to the emergency room so they could just tell me that the whole problem is the pain medication ? So obviously they didn't listen to what I said when I got there like everyone else I didn't start taking these pills first I took them after and then it let me go to the bathroom because I think I have nerve damage from the surgery and my Vegas nerve ?? And I know there's a test for it but I can't explain why no doctor that I can find will write a prescription for that test ? I almost feel like they want me to die and wondering why I'm not dead yet ? !!! But thank you very much for replying but there's a little added extra info that maybe you didn't know or maybe you did and I'm sorry for writing another book but yeah never know , at least I don't know but you might know someone that gets a good idea and that's why I am doing this and just putting it out there so that maybe somebody will say I know someone that had the same thing and they did this or that and thank you for the suggestions I'm doing most of them anyway but, and more the new product I mentioned I'm taking ?? So THANKS AGAIN !!! If you think of anything or run into anybody that thinks of something PLEASE throw it my way if you can like you did before I wrote back to you ?

Flax seed oil and L-Glutamine can both be very soothing for the digestive tract.
