I have a lump on my head
So I noticed this a few months ago and I'm 99.99% sure it's not a cysts or ingrown hair. It's a bump right above my right ear. It totally feels like solid bone! I have a really tiny one above my left ear. It doesn't hurt to touch or press on it. It doesn't move go in. I'm a 40 old male, who's a plumber

Has anyone been through this, the
obstruction
is in the large
bowel
and they also casually mentioned Diverticulosis!

Home screening vs colonoscopy
Hello I have IBS and now diagnosed with sigmoid, Grade 1 piles/internal hemorrhoids. When stool is hard and/or I’m constipated it is painful/sharp to “go”. Sometimes blood on toilet paper and/or stool. I have a prescribed internal cream which is helping but she wants to do a colonoscopy. If I were to

Lactulose
Anyone taking Lactulose for constipation? I was prescribed it after not having a bowel movement for 10 days and no relief. Now today I called my dr. and they doubled the dose for me to take. If I don't go by tommorow I have to go in and have them take exrays. This is so embarresing especially if they

Sleep Paralysis?
Evening all! Quick question, does anyone else experience sleep paralysis? I remember one occasion in my teens but it’s frequent now. I’m lucky in that I get it when I’m falling asleep rather than when waking up which I believe is way more terrifying! It’s also not frightening, but I get stuck between

Histology Report
Well my histology report has come back indicating that the prime site for my mucinous cancer is the small intestine. It then spread to my left ovary which appeared to be the primary site on the CT scans? Obviously it wasn't. I am now being transferred from my breast/gyni oncologist to a bowel cancer

First days on Amitiza - input needed
Recently diagnosed w/IBS-C. Although I "go"every day - it's smaller/thinner/less solid. I tried all 3 doses of Linzess but discontinued b/c of severe cramping and diarrhea issues. Today I took dose 1 of Amitiza. Although side effects less severe than w/Linzess, I'm wondering if this is something
