constipated and feeling like dirt (may be a little gross)

constipation isn't really anything new for me but has been awful for a week and a half. here's the deal

-last monday i took about 3... maybe 4 doses of liquid pepto bismol b/c it works way better for me than imodium.
-was able to go fine tuesday
-then from tuesday to monday was pretty stopped up and wen't maybe a days worth if that. but monday wen't onl a few days worth in 4 or 5 trips to the potty.
-was finaly able ot go today (thursday) after not being able to since monday.

i really don't think it's ever been this bad for me and i'm lucky that my check up is tomorrow morning but i am SO uncomfortable. i'm extra tired, from my belly button down it feels like i ate elmers glue or something b/c it feels so stuck and gross, and i just generally feel yuckie b/c i'm hungry but the idea of eating is gross b/c of everything feeling stuck. ugh.

do you get like this? any advice on how to get it moving a little (not to much, i want to make it to the dr tomorrow)? i sit there for 10 minutes to go less thanmy cat. it's annoying.

and, there is a lot of mucous. like more in the past week and a half than in the past few months.
 
i have been. it just took a really long time. they diagnosed me in april.

i've been sooo good about not taking it too! haha. it had been MONTHS like. i took a chew here or there (maybe once a month if that if i felt really yckie) but i can't even remember when i last bought a bottle. i just wouldn't have been able to make it home from ohio without it.

i've been thinking narrowing and it started to freak me out but i was thinking when i do go a little, it's not skinny like spaghetti so i'd be good... that's me optimism. haha.

i tried eating corn to see if it would help a little. i'd rather have some pain and go than keep feeling like this. at least there's only 15 hrs til i see the doc.

thanks i will.
