Who does the sewage sifting? I can just see it now. After taking these for a few months, I go out in the back yard and I hear a strange buzzing from the septic tank. 😂

Constipation can be hard, but you've gotta push through it.
I have the opposite problem and it's hereditary. Diarrhea runs in my genes.
Apologies to any sufferers; I have a weird sense of humor from working in a poop-intensive field.

I have suffered from this problem. All of my BP meds tend to dry me out. Lots of fiber and stool softeners keep things moving. Sorry for the TMI. 😳

Guy goes to the doc. He's a little backed up. Gets suppositories. Calls up doc:
"This medication isn't working and these huge pills are hard to swallow."
"You're swallowing them?"
"Should I have just crammed them up my arse?"

Guy goes to the doctor with an earache. The doctor looks in his ear and says, “No wonder. You’ve got a suppository crammed in your ear.”
The guy says, “Now I know where my hearing aid is.”

A vet tech goes to make a note in pt's chart and she's holding a thermometer. "Now where did I put my pen?"

You know what the biggest difference is between an oral & rectal thermometer? The taste! 😄

Back in 1980, I worked on a construction job where the firehouse in Santa Clara had been built over a dormant creek bed and the land settled. We pumped concrete into the void.
The salty old fire chief told us of stories about calls he made. One guy inserted a vibrator, ( not orally) and was unable to extricate it, so he called the FD…. Not a good way to fill a void.
Another guy wired each testicle and plugged it into a socket.
The former lived to see another day, the latter did not.
Bad vibrations for either though…. Bad vibrations on both counts.
The old fire chief said “ people sure do strange things”.

I love all the humous responses in this thread. The news report indicates that the patient would need to take these vibrating pills "daily" the same way one would take other maintenance treatments. In reflecting on the news report on the Vibrant constipation pill vs. my own experience with GI issues, I would personally become quickly concerned with whether all these daily vibrating pills had truly all passed completely through. I recently had a "pill camera endoscopy" where I had to swallow a digital pill camera capsule and wear a digital receiver strapped around my waist for 8 hours to receive the approximately 70,000 images the camera took traveling through my personal plumbing. I never did see if my single "one time pill camera" ever exited my personal plumbing!!! Heaven forbid, it may still be transmitting images to a cloud storage somewhere!!!
Ok, I'm ready for your humorous jabs now!
