Today was awful! When I saw my pain dr last week, on Friday the 14th, he gave me a new medication that is for OID-Opiate Induced Constipation. He’s worried about my stomach always feeling nauseous. Much more worried than my GP seemed to be. He said that most people don’t associate nausea with constipation, but that it’s often the cause. I know that I’m on a lot of meds that can cause nausea, as well as constipation. I’m so used to being constipated all of the time, that I didn’t put the two together. Long story short, the pills he gave me should get the constipation under control, so that we get the nausea under control. HOWEVER, he said that for the first week I will most likely have severe cramping and stomach pain and that my bowels will basically be rebooting and starting to work again. So, Holly Shit!!! He wasn’t joking!! This weekend wasn’t great, but today? Today I am in so much pain!! The cramping is bad, but the worst is the stabbing stabbing stabbing pains  right in/on area of scar-tissue from my colon surgery. It’s just been so awful and so awful that I can’t do anything!!! It’s been all day and is really bad right now. So I can barely function or even write this and I can’t sleep!!  So so frustrating…’mmmm I have to go to bed.  goodnight all. Sorry about the “poop talk”, it’s, just been my entire day’s experience.
