[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 890066, member: 17713"] The slow colonic transit was diagnosed December 2013. The full crisis started yesterday morning!! Pure agony. I should have noted the days when I hadn't gone to loo... But I didn't. I felt rough on Tuesday night and my stomach was hard and bloated but I thought that the flaxseeds would work even though I had missed 3 nights of them. Yesterday morning my blood had shot up to 18 and this used to happen previously before my diagnosis and when I got up I was in discomfort. I have small microlax enemas at home as a back up so gave myself two of them. They didn't work but caused me real agonising pain. To be honest I was screaming so loudly on the toilet floor that a stranger knocked on our front door!! Hubby had called ambulance but got told they were busy and he had to phone again 20 minutes later. This time the operator could hear me screaming and got a paramedic to us 10 minutes later. He called an ambulance after trying to get me off the loo to bedroom and then me going back to the loo. Then he gave me morphine..then another 15 minute wait for the ambulance. Then at hospital the normal nurse to do the triage and a hook up to a paracetomal iv drip then a long wait, then eventually an a&e consultant, then an xray, then eventually saying I would have enema. Then a change of mind and a surgeon had to see me. Then after waiting for surgeon he wanted me upstairs in the "admittance ward". Each time being off my head with morphine (x2), paracetomal drip and still in pain and having to explain myself and my probs to everybody time and time again. And when a change over in staff I had to explain again. During this time I looked at my notes... They had me writtendown as a type 2!! They didn't consider anything at all regarding my diabetes. Even when I said my levels were dropping they did not offer me any food but suggested a drip as I was not allowed drink or food but the drip never arrived so I ended up eating my sugar cubes. Not forgetting it was 35 degrees and I could have been dehydrated!! The hospital enema fortunately worked and another different surgeon discharged me. It is a truly disgusting, embarassing time to go through. My hubby went home to get clothes as I was taken away from home in knickers and tshirt. He texted me to ask if I'd passed anything. I texted back to say I'd given birth to a 6lb 18" alien!!! Lesson learnt well and truly. I hope that others will never have to go through this. My GP phoned me this afternoon and said twice that I was slurring my speech... Once he asked if I was hypo... Then realisation that it was the morphine still in my body. Brain back to normal now at least... Bit of trial and error to know if my bum is-lol!!! [/QUOTE]
