Crappin' a cantaloupe?

Does anyone else have the sensation that they need to crap out a cantaloupe? and what is this called? So many words I never wanted to know so intimately...spasticity, vertigo, etc. Will this feeling go away soon? 4 months now, only 2 months on avonex. Any help?

Could it be that it is just sensory. The "colon full" nerve stuck in the on position. I would let the doc handle this one; it should be medically investigated.

I have to say that is the fist I have ever heard it put like that. LOL
I have IBS and sometime I am fine and other times I feel like~~~~well, like I need to crap a cantaloupe. I get bloated and feel like something is pushing out of my spine. Maybe it is the meds. Either way....you need to discuss this with your doc.
