Nothing new and exciting today!
I called my Dr. back and spoke to her nurse. She wants me to eat more fiber and take some new meds. If these don't help and I still feel this way in a couple of weeks to go back and she will set me up with a gastronenterologist specialist.
I will tell you my story from the beginning.....
This has been going on since Halloween weekend. I got really sick (food poisoning, and so did the kids and hubby). I was throwing up, diarrhea the whole works! This was a Monday Nov. 1st from about 1-5 a.m. Tuesday, I still wasn't feeling well, but I wasn't throwing up any more, I still had the nausea feeling, that I could throw up at any minute (but never did). I had a really burning sensation in my chest.
I called on Wednesday and got an appointment for Thursday, November 3rd. My Dr. said I had gastritis (because I got sick so many times 6times, the lining in my stomach was ruined) and prescribed some antacids. Went home took the antacids and still wasn't helping. I still felt this way the next week (nausea, low appetite, just crummy), so I called my Dr. Tuesday, November 8th and got an appointment for Friday, November 11th. This time she tells me she thinks it is my gallbladder and makes me an appointment at Saint E's for an ultra sound. I get my results from my ultra sound and they are normal.
But...I am still feeling like something is wrong.
My stomach balloons out every time I eat, I am constipated, very weak, I don't want to eat, I still have nausea every once in a while, seem like I can't catch my breath, pain in my upper/middle abdomen. I had these symptoms before (when I was diagnosed with the gastritis) but I just though they would go away with the meds, but never did.
I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens in a couple of weeks. UGH!
