I have no idea but I have a new doc on nov 5th. im also logging and taking picture of when I do soil myself so that he cant say its in my head.

 

[annie7]

sure hope this doctor is better than your current one. good luck!

 

[Hybo]

thanks annie. I hope so to. I am reading storys of people that have IBS D that shart all the time because of constant D. They get to use Imodium to solve it, which wouldnt do a damn thing for me

 

[annie7]

no, you're right--it wouldn't.

 

[Hybo]

So I looked over my anal manometry test. And it was missing the part of how strong my anal muscle are. Called the doctor's office that did the test had them sent over. Come to find out my muscle are really weak (I thought I was just pooping myself because I still had Botox left in me. Bit that's not the case. I have been having a hard time getting to the tolit (most times soiling myself if I'm not right next to the toilet. Leaking and wet farting) but since the Botox has worn off I am still having issues. So hopefully new doctor can help me with this. I've already had been doing PT kegals and what not for the last 2 months. So idk where this will take me. Enemas are also not helping with the incontinence

 

[annie7]

so sorry you're still having issues.

that was a good idea to look over your anal manometry test and call the doc's office to get the missing part.

yes, i do hope your new doc can help you.

good luck.

Just gIt back from New doc. He said what's the point of putting me through hell. I will be getting a colostomy. I will continue to update this.

 

[annie7]

oh that's good to hear--that's what you wanted--right?

yes, do keep us updated.

 

[Hybo]

Yes. Enemas daily laying on a floor and laxitives are not a kind of.life.to.live

 

[annie7]

i hear ya....

 

[Hybo]

Started Sitz marker test today (hes allowing me to continue enemas since he only thinks the main issues are in the recal anus area).

 

[annie7]

he's allowing you to continue enemas during the test?? seems to me that using enemas would wash out the markers along with the stool and negate the test. all the instructions i've ever read re the sitz marker said no laxatives or enemas can be used during the test.

 

[Hybo]

I guess he just wants to see the first half of colon. He knows 2nd half works fine besides my rectum because I was forcing stool out w no urge for 2 years.

 

[Hybo]

Day 5 x-ray is tomorrow. Also Annie I have been reading a lot on the sitz test seems like most are now allowing enemas and mirlax to used during the test. I still think that this could mess with results. But I have never had constipation like ibs or what you had.

 

[annie7]

it all depends on what the doctor's purpose is for administering the test:

if the doc wants to see what your transit time is like while you're taking laxatives or enemas, then they want you to use them while taking the sitz test.

if the doc wants to see what your transit time is like when you don't use laxatives or enemas, then they tell you not to take them while taking the test.

 

[Hybo]

All marks have passed (I knew they would) still have to get Another x-ray on Weds then Thurs colonoscopy.

 

[Hybo]

Colonoscopy was clear. Have a meeting with stoma nurse and surgeon on the 20th of Dec.

 

[annie7]

thta's great, Hybo! you're on your way to a better quality of life.

 

[Hybo]

Annie how often do you enema to get mucus out now?

 

[annie7]

i do it every other week. not fun. i wish i was one of those people who can just push the mucus out on my own but i have pelvic floor dysfunction, so i can't--i have to use a small, fleet size enema. and even then, i have to strain to get it out.
