    Katie,
    After I wrote my post I decided to eat some oatmeal. I just read the box and it is Quaker One Minute and it also says 100% wholegrain... Maybe thats why it worked so good for me. However, I'm not crazy about oatmeal so I haven't had any in awhile. I sure hope it works because I'm several days out myself.

    CL,
    I hope you get some rest tonight. I don't know that much about the patch but it sounds like that thrown in with everything else could be the problem.

    I chatted with my pharmacist yesterday about my constipation issues and she armed me with an arsenol of products. In the end, what worked for me was the prune juice and 1 Milk of Magnesia caplet. It still took about 3 hours to kick in, but when it did, let's just say it was a huge success!

    I agree Linda, I think in my case it is a combination of the fentanyl patch and my menopausal symptoms. It's all mixed in together, big time. It's weird, because I had been all done with hot flashes and night sweats for a good 4-5 years, and then all of a sudden, this past spring, it all came back to visit me again. Never head of the oatmeal suggestion. For hotflashes? Now I've heard everything. But hey, I'll tuck it away! :thumpup:

    What I'm really hoping for is some good sleep tonight.

    Hey CL,
    I hope you had a sweat free restful night. The oatmeal was for the constipation issue not the hot flashes. When you were having hotflashes years ago did you take anything for them? My GP will not give me hormone pills and I have never tried any of the herbal remedies. Just curious if you have? And also do you think this constipation issue makes our backs hurt even more? The oatmeal I ate last night did not work as well as I hoped this morning. How much of that prune juice did you drink?
    Have a nice night.
