my tummy hurts :-(

i have suffered with acid reflux since i was 19. you name it i have been on it and nothing works. i had 3 particularly bad bouts of it this week and the third one (sunday night) was so painful i went to the ER. i was there from 2 am to 9 and i was writhing in pain. the pain meds (dilautid) would work for a few minutes and then nothing. they gave me fluids, a gi cocktail of mylanta and something else that made my mouth numb, and iv pepcid and finally that took the edge off so it wasn't excruciating.

i have been home since then working on and off, popping percocet, and sleeping. they did an ultrasound in the ER for gallbladder which revealed i have "sludge" which may or may not be an issue. this morning i had a hida scan to test my gb functionality. i dont think it's gb but i would be absolutely skipping into the operating room if it would relieve my symptoms. i know it's minor surgery and if it can relieve my pain then where do i sign? anyway i am off to another sitting up nap. good times!

Re: my tummy hurts :-(

  • awww i'm sorry. my husband is always popping tums and stuff for heartburn and complains about it...but that's bc he puts hot sauce on EVERYTHING so i don't feel bad for him. i'ev never had heartburn or reflux so i can't sympathize...but hurting sucks. sorry :(

    funny you say that i actually took 8 tums sunday night and believe that's what put me in the ER. apparently tums increases acid production. ugh.

  • Oh no!  I hope they figure out what is going on soon and you get to feeling better.
  • I'm sorry.  I hope you feel better soon.  I have acid reflux problems too and have yet to find any meds that help either.
  • Tums increase acid? That seems backwards. I'm so sorry you aren't feeling good. Hope you start to feel better soon!

  • ugh so sorry to hear that!  I really hope you get better soon.

    That is crazy...and think of the millions who take tums everyday.  I will say they never worked on me either.

    The best things ever were these things called I think Tempo's and they were small teal squares that were like a chalky chewy gum that dissolved but I haven't found them anywhere in years.

    What do they mean by sludge?

  • Omg, you poor thing! My total sympathies... I have only had it during my pregnancies. It is absolutely wicked. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I'm so sorry, hope you get some relief soon.
