Re: Kim-vacation coming up soon-phobia about being in a car

[Guest guest]

Thanks for telling me this, Kim. Have you always been like this or has it just

been since the you started having hypoT symptoms?

I know what you mean about not wanting to be far from a bathroom!!! I have to

pee all the time anyway 'cause I drink SO much!! Yesterday I had twelve 16-oz

bottles of water!!! I'm just so thirsty all the time...can't help it!

Of course, I do work in VERY hot temperatures for long period of time. Yesterday

I wasn't working, but Kemal and I went walking and both of us got VERY

overheated. Then we got together with some friends and were sitting outside in

the sun for a couple of hours.

Anyway, when I'm in a car I get nervous. When I get nervous, I have to pee!!!

And then I'll go and have to go again 5 min. later.

Then sometimes when I get really anxious I also have diahrrea,.

So, being in a car (other than to work or to school) is just awful for me. On a

long trip I get sick 'cause I can't drink much (else we'd be stopping every 1/2

hr.) and I usually get a migraine...am nervous as the dickens, and when we

finally do arrive, I'm constipated for DAYS!!!

On our vacation last summer, I think I didn't go to the bathroom for 4-5

days...and that's after taking 2 laxatives.

Anyway, sorry you're dealing with this crap too...thanks for sharing...makes me

feel less like a freak!!! Hugs, Sheila

<<I'm constipated for DAYS!!!>>>

This happens to me too Sheila!!! - for years & years, as far back as 15 years -

I'd get constipated while on vacation! To the point of having to get

laxatives!!!!! I was in so much pain in Disney 15 years ago that we got

suppositories - ugh! It's awful to feel that bloated and in pain! I think for

me my body has to have consistency - so now I try to stick to the way I normally

eat -- oatmeal for breakfast, and salad for lunch & bring water from home - & I

seem to do o.k. I'm always relieved when things keep moving! ( & so is everyone

else).

Hope things " keep moving " for you while you are away!

take care,

I am not sure... its gotten worse over the years. Even like a 15 minute

drive I have to take a pepto so I dont have diareah in the car then of

course it constipates me. I am just soooo sick i get very anxious, even

going for a walk I think maybe ill be too tired to make it back on my own or

too dizzy. I am up to going about 2 houses down both directions then im just

WIPED out tired and have to go to bed. I use to walk 16 miles a day. I am

not a lazy person and I definately know I am having anxiety but I dunno.

I hope you get to see a gastro and get things straightened out. do you have an

no, you're NOT lazy...you're sick. Once you get better, you'll be back to your

old self! Hugs, Sheila
