Aggitated
Everyone has been very supportive but feeling really aggitated just now. Going to doctors. Concerned about bowels hardly working despite senna. Also seeing my Consultant yesterday felt my options had run out. Yet everyone here seems to have had loads of different chemos. If Caelyx doesn't work

Yes, advanced endometriosis may cause pancreatitis!
I'm in my late 50's now, but have probably had endometriosis since my first period (age 16). Unfortunately, although I was diagnosed early, there were simply NO treatments more than 40 years ago. I was infertile. Later in my 40's after undergoing YEARS of chemically-induced menopause, I started having

Pain clinic appointment?
Hi everyone I woke this morning to find my appointment for the pain clinic had come through:). Things are happening so quickly for me, even though my doctor gave me this diagnosis I am still finding it very difficult to get her to give me a pain killer that actually works for me. I can have co-codamol

Sleeping problem
I don't know if it's just me but, I can't sleep on my left side, my hop feels like it's moving out of its socket, so painful. I sleep on my right side but my shoulder wakes me with pain so I try to sleep on my back, but the headache is torture. I only get it while sleeping on my back. It's like my head

Constipation and Kidney Failure. Does anyone have any advice, or ideas about the management of chronic constipation in Peritoneal Dialysis.
Constipation is chronic and my Bowel has slowed down to hardly function at all, only going every four days, even with lactulose,
docusate
, movicol,
senna
! I am getting extremely paranoid about it. I am concerned there is something seriously wrong. What should I do?

Does anyone know a good way to reduce or stop constipation in peritoneal dialysis?
I am on
docusate
,
senna
and lactulose as well as picolax to reduce constipation but nothing is moving my bowel. It's causing the machine to alarm. Does anyone know of any other medications lifestyle or complimentary remedies. It is painful and ruining my peritoneal dialysis catheter.

How do you cope with Gabapentin side effects?
I've been taking tramadol, naproxin, amitriptyline, gabapentin, ducosate, senna and metformin for a number of years now. Considering the number of tablets I take on a daily basis, I'm lucky to not really suffer from many side effects, although the ducosate and senna are obviously prescribed to counteract

Cleanse Ultimo-Natural product that improves daily digestion!
Cleanse Ultimo tells me that I have some more to learn (I should take a few steps back to look at the bigger picture).

Severe constipation and bowel problems, can this be thyroid related ? Recommended pain relief !

Worsening constipation
I have had IBS for many years now. My main problem over last 9mths or so is constipation which I can normally manage with senna. But this last 3 or 4 weeks has been awful, I feel about 6mths pregnant, people are noticing too. I can go 8 days with no BM, then it's diahorrea, and normal stools and horrendous
