my health

For almost two months now I have been having on and off nausea and heartburn, usually it lasts for an hour or two and sometimes it lasts all day.  I went to the doctor after  about 2 weeks of these symptoms and he gave me pepcid which helped for a little while but then my symptoms got worse.  One day last week I actually threw up water (nope could not even keep water down) and I had lost a total of 10 lbs which is huge for me because I feel like I am too small anyway.  I have gained back 4 lbs as of this morning which is good.

 I went back to the doc on monday and he has referred me to a gastroenterologist (sp?) who is going to stick a camera down my throat and get samples of my stomach lining.  I am totally freaked out by all of this.  Don't know what to think.  I was actually feeling better but then this morning a small bout of nausea.

Re: my health

  • Oh no!  Hopefully this doctor can get to the root of the problem(s) and get you on the road to recovery soon, or at least get you some kind of diagnoses (hopefully a quick fixable one)!

    You'll be in my thoughts and please KUP!

  • How miserable.

    I hope the doc can figure out what the problem is and give you a solution.

  • Oh I am so sorry you are going through this! Dh went through this about 6 months ago. He had to go to the gastrenologist and have a scope done too -- it's a short procedure and not too bad but you can't drive after it. Lots of luck to you it goes well and they find out what's wrong. For dh, they found nothing but damage from reflux and put him on the otc meds for it. He's just had to watch what foods he eats and take a reducer before bed.
  • I'm sorry to hear you've been going through this.  I hope you're able to get some answers from the gastroenterologist.  You'll be in my thoughts!  KUP!

  • Best of luck at your appointment.  My grad school roommate had to swallow the camera once and I will not pretend that she said it wasn't bad.  I'll be thinking about you and hope the doc finds what he's looking for.  T&P!

  • Gosh, I am sorry you're not feeling well, but I'm glad they're on the case.  I hate feeling nauseous, so I can't imagine your agony! 

    Here are some get well soon vibes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • What a drag love.  I knew it was bad but I didn't know it was this bad.  I hope the procedure is quick and painless and they find something out quicklike.  And that you get to feeling better soon with an easy solution.
