Hi mads,
Sorry you are having such a difficult time. Did you tell your doctor you haven't had a BM in weeks??? S/He should be helping you.
The only idea I have would be for you to run out and get a prep kit. Something like Phosphosoda... You can find it at most drug stores and pretty much all pharmacies. Ask the pharmacist about your options. You should get relief within hours of taking it.
Good luck! I hope you feel better soon.

You definitely need to see a doctor if you are vomiting or feel as if you are going to or even need to. Vomiting with severe constipation can be a symptom of a blockage in the intestines. When it can't go down, it will come back up. A lot of people brush off constipation, but it can be quite serious and you should seek help in order to get cleaned out and to make sure you don't have a blockage of some sort.

You can't wait till then. You are probably losing hair and ruining teeth because you are getting no nutrients. That is ridiculous that you have to wait. I think you need to be more aggressive with your Dr. as you can't go on like this. You need to get something to get rid of the buildup. I don't know about your other health problems but how can they let you go on like this. YOu are going to end up in ER seriously ill and they ought to know that. Throwing up like that can really ruin your esphagous like a bulimic. There is something they can do in the interim, I am sure or at least allow you to take a good laxative to clean you out. Are you making yourself vomit to feel better or do you not have control of it?

Mads: You need to either get to your doctor now or get yourself to the ER. You're literally turning toxic from the waste in your intestine and like mentioned above you could have a blockage. I know, I ended up in the ER for exactly the same reason. When the ER doc told me I was completely full and that there wasn't even room for gas in there, that was a serious problem. I had my colonoscopy coming up that week (on a Friday), so that they put me on clear liquids and I got to start my prep 4 days early (2 bottles of mag citrate, 2 heaping tablespoons of MOM every 4 hours until the day before the c-scope, then 2 bottles of phosphoro soda in a four hour period of time and 4 tabs of duculax) It finally started moving Thursday night. I was worried I wouldn't be clean for the scope - that's how bad I was.

Vomiting or even wanting to can also be dangerous as you might end up vomiting feces (I'm not kidding), since there is no place for anything to go. Please, this is serious, you must get some sort of medical attention now.
