Delicately wondering

[indysteel]

Uncomfortable. As for the 'roid' or hemroids problem, I did get advanced treatment which was prescription drug from doctor. It worked within 5 days...after I tried regular over-the-counter treatment for 3 wks. Too long and potentially not safe to be left untreated. Yes. Maybe you should say you're bleeding from your problem. (Presumably you are..)

Are you sleeping well, and getting up at usual normal times, eating breakfast /other meals at normal times? If not, maybe that's why things are temporarily out of synch. I've noticed this for myself in last few years. Prune juice is supposed to be a good natural laxative. (also it's healthy for other reasons too.)

Hope you get around to some exercise. Even walking at length may help. For certain, if I don't bike, doing stretching exercises (there's simple, slow stuff where you don't bounce around) regularily, helps also.

Shootingstar,

Everything has been out of synch. During the move itself, I lost a bit of weight and was eating less than I normally do and at odd times. I also had trouble sleeping at the new house (I'm not a very sound sleeper as it is). That got me off on a bad foot, and things went downhill from there. Sleep, diet, exercise. Everything's been off.

From a diet perspective, I'm consciously upping my fiber and water intake. I'm hoping for a walk tonight and yoga tomorrow. I need to find a new routine at my new gym, but given my exercise restrictions at the moment, I'm finding that really challenging. I used to live five minutes from work and five minutes from my gym. Now, I still live five minutes from a gym, but it takes 45 minutes to get home, and I now have someone to go home to (my fiance), where before I lived alone. All of this life change--much of which is really positive--is harder than I thought it would be. It's a lot to adjust to physically.

The good news is that I had a decent BM (TMI? ) about an hour ago. Who knew that it could make me THAT happy? The bad news is that I still haven't been able to connect with my doctor's nurse to see about getting in for an appointment before next month. I'm just not sure I can hold off that long.
