Yep, the receptionist lady put me on the cancellation list. I mentioned the colon possibly being narrowed (and explained why) and I think she realized that it wasn't a good sign, so she was the one who actually said she'd put me at the top of the cancellation list. I thought that was nice of her. I didn't even have to ask.

If things get bad again, I'll go to the ER to be seen faster. I don't know what my insurance coverage for the ER would be, but I could always ask in advance since my situation wouldn't be an emergency at all. Good idea on your part. It just sucks that I might have to resort to the ER just to be seen. In some ways, I wish the GI doctor had spots reserved for "urgent" patients who need to be seen urgently, but then people would just lie about their situation in order to snag the "urgent" appointment slots anyway, so it'd be pointless.

I could go to a different GI doctor, but the one I went to before was AWFUL. At the time, I had IBS-D, so I was getting chronic diarrhea, basically. And firstly, I asked to see an MD, but they put me with a nurse. Secondly, the nurse lady told me to take an antispasmodic and miralax together. Why the f*** would I do that? The antispasmodic was fine on its own, but miralax???? I still had diarrhea even with the antispasmodic. I think she probably thought I'd get constipated on the antispasmodic, but miralax is not the answer to that!

Btw, i took miralax last night and will take it everyday until the GI appt. It ALWAYS gives me diarrhea, but it's better than having "stuff" stuck in a possibly narrowed colon. I also don't know if Miralax is even going to work with the pee issue that started up very recently.
