My 87 year old grandmother has come to live with me. I have noticed that every time I take her to the bathroom, she has a smear of BM in her Depend Undergarment. She doesn't have an impaction. She seems unable to push the stool out of her rectum, and instead there is a constant ooze of soft feces coming out. I have her on Miralax 3 x weekly (she gets very constipated without it), and I give her metamucil in the evening. Is this something I'm going to have to get used to, or is there a way to bulk it up and stop the incontinence?

Yes, that time of the year has come up for me.. the dreaded physical exam! While I know it's very important to get done, I have yet to meet a woman who looks forward to it! My question, though, is.... would it be OK to be "intimate" the day before the exam? I have read somewhere that a woman should refrain from having sex the day before the exam, or else it might infringe on the results. I'm curious to know if anyone has valid proof of this, or whether it's just an old wive's tale?

haha this is lame but i have always had problems with my weight and fancy losing a stone (or two!!), the only problem is nothing seems to work for me. i've tried weight watchers and slimming world and all that, but just cant get into the right frame of mind. Is there anyway to get into the right frame of mind???
I'm going to start exercising loads when my exams have finished, will this be enough to help me lose weight? oh, and giving up chocolate too i think might help, as am raving chocoholic (have given up before...!)

I fell and broke two bones in my foot and have to go see a orthopedic doctor and I am just wondering if they use plaster casts anymore. The E.R doctor just put on one of those lovely blue shoes for now.

Is this normal?

I just started not eating like a pig. Use to like last week I'd eat when I was ready, and I'd eat whatever I craved, but since Friday, I've not eaten like that. I've really tried to keep busy and not think about food.

My question is, if I just cut back on my eating as far as eating only 3 meals a day and not snacking will I loose weight? I take my dog for a walk every day and its a little over a mile, so I do get physical activity, and I work in my flower garden a lot.........

What are some other good things I could do or eat to help me loose more wieght? nIs there a special food I could eat to make me less hungry?

I've tried meds like pamprin and motrin, and they do nothing for me. 800 mg of Ibuprofen only works so long before I'm popping more. I remember an old friend getting something that was sold as over-the-counter, but still kept behind the pharmacy counter - but so far nobody knows what that is. Suggestions?
