Frustrating new health thing!
Thought I was going to end up in the hospital last night. Had this big attack of something in GI Tract. Pain, oh man the pain, severe nausea with threats of vomiting, massive bloating, chills. If it weren't for all the pain meds in my body and a med my doc prescribed to take as needed for my chronic nausea I would have been in the ER, because with all the pain meds and the anti-nausea I was a 10 on the pain scale and it was BADDDDD. It went on for about 5 hours then I fell asleep and woke with just the nausea and lower pain levels. I continue to have new health problems and good heavens I have enough already. I researched my symptoms last night and it sounds close to Inflammatory bowel disease(Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis), that would be a very bad thing to have but it actually fit another more closely, Diverticulitis. This has been happening a few times a week for like a month but last evening was the worst yet. I am getting afraid to eat anything. Just had applesauce today.
FRUSTRATING!!! Honestly though, I avoid ERs because of all those times I had to sit in uncomfortable chairs with pain, peripheral edema and whatever brought me there for hours and never getting any real treatment once I'm seen. I'm so wiped out today far more than usual. Feel like I'm in recovery. So, I am going to bed.
