The last few days have been a bit of a nightmare as i am having major problems with my bowls and excess wind. It’s bad enough having to suffer with attacks from the beast each morning but to wake up and then be in agony within a couple of minuets of opening your eyes all because your stomach is bloated and you can seem to get rid of the wind or stop it from developing. I have tried everything you can imagine and there isn’t a medication or tablet that you can take that will help get rid of it. I have use “Liver Salts” in order to break down the wind and try and settle my stomach but it only gives relief for a short period of time and the wind and pain just returns.
This has been going on a for a few days and due to me being constipated all the time it is a worrying situation to be in. On Friday my stomach was really bad and no matter what i tried i just couldn’t seem to get rid of the wind and no matter how many times i tried to go to the toilet and pass the wind it was just not having it. Then suddenly on Friday evening i had a strange feeling in my bowls the same feeling you get when you have the runs so i dashed to the toilet and tried to go. After about 5 minuets of pushing as hard as i could, but nothing seemed to be coming out, i suddenly exploded. The relief was amazing and it poured out of me. When i looked to check what had happened and the mess i had left behind after exploding so badly my stool had turned to a blackish grey colour and there was like a grey oil slick on the top of the water, not to mention the smell was like nothing i have ever experienced before.
It was as if there was a blockage and what came out had been in there for a very long time. I felt great after the clear out but unfortunately the very next day i was back to the same old routine of being constipated again and excess wind building up inside me and unable to pass it or get it out. The trouble with the wind is that it doesn’t stay in my bowls and ends up travelling around the inside of my body making it very painful and uncomfortable. I have tried everything but nothing seems to help so i no longer know what i can do to relieve the situation and make myself feel better again.
I have been trying to ring the doctors and make an appointment for the last half hour but the telephone is constantly engaged. this is normal for the doctors as they are always so busy. It is murder trying to get an appointment to see my actual doctor as she is pre booked weeks in advance and they will only allow priority appointments to see her so small things like problems with your bowls will be given to the locum doctor to deal with instead. I wouldn’t mind so much if i could actually get the appointment in the first place. Sometimes i just want to SCREAM!!!
