What happened to me at 1:30 AM

I was constipated for the past 4 days. I actually have a regular bowel moment until this occurred. I got worried because I noticed that new pimples pop out from my face every day so I opted to take a high fiber diet. 2 days ago, I bought Fibrosine. I poo-ed but I can't say it was a success. So yesterday, I followed the advice of one of the staff nurses: take 2 tablets of Dulcolax.

When I got home at 4 pm, I took the tabs and waited for the result. After 2 hours, I poo-ed but I wasn't still satisfied. I belittled the effect of Dulcolax because I felt that I wasn't able to let it all out. Lol.

At 1:00 AM, I was awakened by a stomach pain. I felt a gurgling thing was going on inside me. I thought I was just cold so I turned the air-con off. Still, the pain worsened. Then I suddenly had the urge to poo so I ran to the comfort room immediately and sat on the bowl. You know what happened next.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tolerate Dulcolax's laxative effect. I called my sister to get me a hot water bag, a glass of water and Imodium. I also asked her to wake our parents up because I couldn't take the pain anymore! I felt so weak! My vision also started to get black and I cried for help. My parents panicked because they thought my illness was attacking me again. I told them about my Dulcolax intake and they scolded me for taking 2 tabs. When I was already done, my mom assisted me to stand up from the bowl and when we got out of the comfort room, I fainted. I know I fainted because I felt my body collapsed and that was the last thing I remember until I woke up from my bed and saw my mom lying beside me.

After 4 hours, I still managed to go to work but I still felt so weak. I was really dehydrated. Thanks to Gatorade for the relief.



I will forever hate Dulcolax for this traumatizing, embarrassing and funny laxative experience. I've had fleet enema before but this is just the worst! I swear, I will never ever take Dulcolax again. It's a pain in the ass! Literally and figuratively speaking.
