I take 2 hydrocodone daily. I have major issues with constipation & am on senna lax, benefiber & Movantik daily. I still do not have bowel movements daily. In fact it takes at least 3+ days before I can have movement. I always feel like I can still go more but it doesn't come out! What is your suggestion? I just want regular bowel movements!

About an hour ago I became freezing cold and started shaking and wasn't able to stop myself. I had nausea and began to panic. I've been taking senna for two weeks to help with my digestion, the only other thing that has changed from my otherwise normal diet is I've had more sugar (currently on honeymoon in Paris). The shaking has stopped now but I'm still feeling very cold and dizzy and light headed. Could you advise on what it might be and whether or not it can wait until I get home?

I've been having constipation on and off since 2014. Then last summer, I went for five days without a bowel movement. I had to use enema to finally get some feces out. Then I can no longer produce bowel movements. I went to GI doctors. They gave me miralax, amitiza, linzess, senna. But nothing works. The only way I can get some wastes out of my belly is to pump water in, but now this solution seems not working either. My digestive track appears to be completely blocked. I went to ER a week ago, but the doctor says she cannot treat me because I have no fever, and she has no way of helping me either. Is there any treatments at all? What should I do?
