steroids put my digestion at a standstill

Help! My doctor put me on a steroid course for a terrible migraine that wouldn't go away (I'm allergic to migraine meds and most pain-killers, so this was experimental.) I took the steroids for a day and a half, totalling 9 pills. I discontinued when my severe nausea turned to vomiting. But after discontinuing, I discovered that I'm not digesting anything. It's been 5 days. I have terrible cramps. Sometimes, I feel the need to go to the bathroom, but the most that comes out is a large marble. And there is quite a bit of urgency associated with this pathetic bm.

How can I get back on track? I took Miralax last night and this morning but nothing yet. I feel like everything is so hard inside of me, I've requested abdominal massage from my boyfriend, even though it's painful, to try to soften it up. I've used my heating pad and I'm walking around frequently.

Thanks for any help.

Carolyn
