I also posted this in the neurology forum because I am suspect it may be neuro-muscular because of past drug habits, and the twitching/spasms I sometimes now get.

I am constipated 24/7 it feels like the muscle that I used to use to push out a bowel movement is gone. It feels almost like my insides have turned to mush, and I am always bloated. I have tried colon cleansers and lots of fiber. Dietary changes had little to no effect. Upper gi showed some acid reflux, abdominal ultrasound showed constipation. Sometimes I can't urinate; it feels like the whole area down there has locked up. I went to a urologist and he didn't really have an explanation. I can urinate normally at times too. I used to smoke pot heavily, but if I did now my throat would feel like it was closing up completely and sort of li ke a spasm feeling or something in the back of my throat and up through the roof of my mouth. Even my tongue, will feel all swollen or something. It's really tough to describe, but those are some really disturbing feelings... They are there but to a way lesser extent after stopping smoking. I have what feels like a pressure behind my eyes at times. I thought it might have been my thyroid too cause it runs in my family, I am irritable, can't remember much, don't feel refreshed after 9-10 hours sleep etc. But sadly enough that wasn't it (yea I was hoping it was so I could just feel normal again even if I have to take a pill for the rest of my days here)

my latest hypothesis is that something is wrong with the sphincters in my body. I feel like doctors aren't taking me seriously because a. I am so young b. When I tell them about my drug background they sort of act like I am still on some kind of lsd trip where I think this is what's happening to me. No. Or that these symptoms are 'stress' 'depression' whatever ambiguous condition they're inclined to fall back on when they can't figure out the real reason for your suffering. Stress was a foreign concept to me when my physical shell was operating properly. I am very care-free and have never had any depression issues, aside from a normal bunk day once in a while.

I had to switch pcp's because my original one just kept giving me prilosec which didn't do anything. I think he was just the new model robot created by the rx industry to dispense pez to everybody. I just had a second more thorough (it seemed) upper gi and my new pcp is going to review them with me on tuesday. I am almost at a breaking point here which is why I am posting here. Anybody with suggestions please respond.
