Had out-patient surgery this past Friday and they gave me Hydraoxycotin (or hydraoxycodone) to cope with the pain. Well, that stuff sucks and sucks hard. Got to the point where I had to quit taking it (took my last one around 5:30 p.m. on Monday). Caused me to itch/have a rash, lightheadedness, nausea, and the worse part - constipation. Not to mention, that I never could go to sleep when I wanted to but the next day when I needed to be alert, I felt like I could sleep for days. Really, really bad stuff... At any rate, I have experienced stuff I have never before in being all clogged up. I would gladly take diarrahea any day of the week and twice on Sunday over constipation. And knowing how the Hangout is the place to talk about this stuff, I wanted to see if the rest of the BBS felt the same way. So if you had the choice - which would you not want to have - diarrhea or constipation? There are only 2 choices and definitely no "neither because they both suck".
I'm the only one here that hasn't had BAD CONSTIPATION? I don't recall the last time, but damn, by the looks of the poll results, I don't hope to have it soon. I voted the D I just hate self-inflicted toilet-paper rash.
I never had to deal with the C until 3 days ago. And I'll say that C is way worse than D. Mostly because it causes so many other problems... just the fact that you're retaining your waste and reabsorbing some of that crap is horrible on your body.. plus eventually you can't really eat anymore cause you're so backed up (at least that's how it was with me). And it even ended up making it harder for me to breathe. Gross.
i've only had bad constipation a couple/few times in my life and it was very unpleasant. TP rash sucks but its, to me, its not as bad as that feeling like your o-ring is about to rip
I've never been constipated so I chose diarrhea. I had bad diarrhea back in November when I got the flu, and I couldn't even fart without crapping myself. It got to the point where I crapped so often that it was pure clear liquid that I was letting out.
constiarrhea is the worst. you know, you're all bloated and can't let one out, yet you're leaking. that sucks.
Thanks DaDa. This Hydraoxycotin takes a LONG time to get out of your system (another bad effect of it). Honestly, I probably should have never taken any of it in the first place as my pain is similar to a slight groin pull. Of course, hindsight is 20-20 but yea, I would have skipped it altogether (taking the painkiller) but then this thread wouldn't have been created, now would it?
If you can't poop then I have just the thing. Buy some Twang, and get a couple bottles of water. And you are set. Finish the bottle of Twang in less than 10 minutes, and everytime you swallow it, drink some water. That will get your going.
Beck, your post makes me wonder... have I ever had constipation? I can't even remember or know if I ever did. Sorry about your problema, Manny, but here's a good one to laugh at:
Constipation sucks. Diarrhea blows. Constipation is worse than diarrhea in my opinion. Diarrhea is just a quick weight-loss situation. Chicks should dig it...
