View Full Version : Nausea and vomiting update...

Well, after a weekend from heck I am doing ok. I spent the ENTIRE day Saturday in the bathroom. Every time I got up I had to sit back down. I was so miserable, so nauseated and just so sick and nothing I did helped. The night before I was SO bloated I looked like I was carrying triplets in my 9th month. It was so awful and I just can't explain the stomach pain I had. I almost went to the ER on Saturday because I was scared and so was everyone else in this house. I was so exhausted on Sunday I barely got out of bed, Monday was spent on the couch trying to recover some energy and today is the best day I've had. I don't feel great but I certainly feel better than I did over the weekend.

The scope session can't come soon enough for me. I'm so tired of dealing with this stomach stuff. I'm afraid to eat for fear of hurting my bladder and/or my stomach.....the nausea comes and goes when it wants to...seems just to torment me really....like ok, lets play with Sandy's mind and make her wanna go puke again!

So, that's where I've been the past few days...in the bathroom. I've made my master bath a place of beauty and comfort....full of candles and my book along with magazines to keep me occupied for those times I can't seem to leave.

I want this to end...I just want to be normal again! I'm almost hoping he'll find some Crohn's inflammation so he can give me some meds to get me straightened out again. I know that if a repeat of Saturday happens again I am not dealing with it at home...I AM going to the hospital. I forgot that I had a direct admit ok from my doctor, all I had to do was call him. I just don't want to go. :(

So, wish me luck that things hold out til I get the tests done and if I disappear again you can bet it's my stomach keeping me off the boards!

Thanks everyone. Today I'm running back and forth to the bathroom again. I've lost 8 lbs in the last 2 weeks or so.....not so good...good for the butt in the tight jeans, but not so good for the body as a whole. ugh

Sandy I'm so sorry to hear this. I can only imagine that you are possibly dehydrated and it's no wonder you didn't remember you had a direct admit order to go to the ER. Don't hesitate if you start getting sick again. It's possible if you go to the ER that they will bump up your procedure. Do you think? I know other people who have gotten in for next day endoscopies when they have been this sick.

Yeah, I've thought about that....once a few years ago I had to be admitted and had both procedures done the next day. If this keeps up I'm not going to make it til the 26th...it seems like such a long time away! I'm just such a terrible patient and I just can't tell you how bad I HATE being a patient. It's no fun on that side of the sheets for me. :) I do promise to call if this round of run to the potty continues though. Even my kids are worrying about me now. :(

Sandy~

i know you now have your period but are you feeling any better with the tummy stuff? Iam worried about you! I hada edocscopy an few years ago and had to tell them while the scope was in that i was in pain and needed more meds! they gave me Fentanyl in my IV which I am allergic to! Din't know that until after the procedure, Iwas sick for days!

Let us know how you are doing. you'll be in my prayers:pray:
