yeah, the other day when i went to the ER for this pain/ache in my left abdomen, which i wrote about here the other day (which all started when i took that MAGNESIUM CITRATE SODIUM LAX..which made me very gassy, distended abdomen, sickly...), anyway, i the third day after i had taken that laxative, the ache was so bad in my left abdomen, i went to the ER convinced it was something serious, perhaps that i had done to my intestines with that crap!! One of the tests they took was a urinalysis...ok, the doc comes back and tells me basically that the only thing they could determine from the urine was that i wasn't taking in enough fluids. Now, at first, that doesn't sound like a big deal, you figure you'll just go home and drink, drink, drink. But, then i began THINKING! and getting fearful, that maybe I'M JUST NOT ABSORBING THE FLUIDS! now, the reason i say this, is because, i felt as though i HAD been drking ENOUGH fluids. Now, yes, once i had done that lax. thing on Thursday night, i was exhausted, so by Fridday the next day, i was wiped out, and in a lot of discomfort in my abdomen, and very distended! I tried to drink water, but it made my stomach and intestines feel AWFUL!!! so, i tried drinking sips of water, tea, and cool green tea over that day. That was Friday. By saturday then, i really hadn't taken in to many fluids, but then again, i couldn't, it made me sickly.
Ok, so sat. was basically the same, and still feeling sickly, and bad in the abdomen, the intestines, and now it was moving in towards the abdomen itself, more towards the left of the belly button. So, for me to drink, was a problem!
SO .... by SUNDAY, i had such a bad ache/pain, and almost like small convulsions in the area of my left intestines..which made me have to cough. So, off to the ER i went, i knew this couldn't be right.......

Point is.....first, I need to know what anyone here knows about that MAGNESIUM CITRATE SODIUM LAX. FROM WALGREENS? secondly.....could it have drained me of so much fluid, that now i'm dehydrated..in other words, why did the dr. say i wasn't taking in enough fluids? was it because i hadn't drunk enough SINCE that lax. night? or bec. there's something wrong with me that maybe i'm not absorbing fluids?
I didn't think i had any problems like that. i mean, BEFORE that lax....i was trying to drink a good amt. of wate in my life, i don't think i was taking the 8 -10 glases a day...but i was trying...and maybe drank about 4-5 glasses a day...i mean, that has to be enough, no? maybe not enough for OPTIMAL health, but certainly not for it to show up on a urinalysis, that i'm not taking in enough fluids? So, i guess,....that's what worried me, i hope i don't have some disorder now, that prevents me from absorbing fluids!!!! WHAT DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THAT LAXATIVE? i feel, in my heart, that after that, i was never the same, i feel it did something to my intestines....
