Amanda, I'm so sorry you're going through this! I completely feel your pain. I often go into a major C spell after having an attack of D, too, and it's sooooo uncomfortable. My best advice would be to try to get through today and make pooping your #1 priority tomorrow. Personally, I normally can't go on work days no matter how hard I try, even if I get up early. I was just discussing in another thread how weird it is that the only time I can go a lot of the time is when I sleep in, relax and wake up leisurely, and sip a hot beverage like soy coffee or tea with my breakfast. Even if I get up early and have the same hot beverage before work it doesn't do the trick. So my advice would be to try to relax and let your body do it's thing tomorrow. For me, pushing it too much doesn't do any good. My body has to be totally ready on its own. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it's all that works for me. Sometimes it even takes 2 weekend mornings like that to get things moving. It makes full-day plans on weekends a little difficult. Sigh. Anyway, I hope that works for you. If not, I'd give in and take a mild laxative or even just a stool softener. You certainly don't want to start another week at work feeling this way, and laxatives can be a good thing if you use them rarely and they're not stimulants. Anyway, I hope you start feeling better soon. I know that pregnant feeling and it's no fun at all. Good luck!
