I have had severe constipation for a few years now. I typically have a bowel movement 1-2 times a week. Recently, things have gotten a lot worse. I have tried magnesium citrate, I have increased my fluids, I significantly increased my fibre, I take Metamucil, laxatives, ect. You name it, I’ve likely tried it. The only thing that worked were at home enemas. Although, I recently tried a mineral oil one and it didn’t do anything. My stomach is severely distended and I have severe loud smelly gas all day long. What do you think I could have? I am 29F.

A few times a night (not every night), I will wake up gasping for air and feeling like I died. I will jolt up, similar to when I don’t wear my CPAP. Has this ever happened to you? My doctor says that my pressure and fit are perfect. I have no leakage. My sleep is a lot worse when I don’t wear my CPAP, so we know that it is working. We suspect that it could be panic attacks that are waking me up.

I’m going into my 3rd year of law school and I’ve realized that I don’t want to be a lawyer. Everyone says that a law degree opens doors and that there are so many other jobs, but what could I do with my law degree? I’ve been considering legal recruitment, but I’m worried about the fact that I wouldn’t have any previous legal experience since I do not want to practice law. Any insights would be really appreciated!
