I guess it's logical that if the brain is having trouble sending signals to the limbs to move properly, that it would also not be able to work the intestines properly.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 1999 Report Share Posted January 22, 1999 Hi Vikki, Yes, I believe there is a connection between the two. Now that I have had time to think about my mothers condition, I remember a year ago, she would not leave her home, without going to the bathroom at least 3 times, always complaining about pain, and constipation. I was thinking last night if this was the first part of the brain being affected by CJD.......... nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 1999 Report Share Posted January 22, 1999 Dear All: My Dad suffered from constipation throughout his 50's to 70's. He was always taking laxatives, especially Perdiem. And he never drank enough water to suit the rest of us (Mom and me). Seems so strange to realize there were so many others with this same symptom.
