Sheila1366 Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I had to go to my GI dr. today due to a very swollen belly,pain and nausea. He did bloodwork and gave me a medicine called GI Cocktail. He is also on call this weekend incase I get worse. On an all liquid diet til things settle down. Along with this lots of pain in my neck, hard to turn head, pain in the glands in my neck, dizzines is much worse, feels like pressure in my head and numbness in face.When I went down to the dr. I was afraid he was gonna put me in the hospital. Walking is gettine worse too. Hips feel like they are coming out of their sockets and hurt.Almost too much to bare.

diamondcut Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Im sorry you are not doing good. Its a tough one because when you dont eat you have no energy, your heart has to work harder, yet you then eat, the nausea and pain can be terrible and your heart still has to work over time to now digest the food you have just eaten.What are the stomach meds he has given to you, for me metoclopramide made my stomach cramps even worse, and i am sure i have read for MCAD its not a god drug to take.Only thing i had to watch was if i went to a liquid diet for too long, when the time came to eat solids it was very hard and worse before i stopped!!! Its like having an old car in the garage, you have to take it out for a drive now and again even though its a rusty heap and you dont want to!!I sympathise with you becuase its not a nice situation to be in.Hope you feel some relief soon.

Sheila1366 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thanks diamondcut. I am on generic prilosec, liquid phenegran. Have tried Reglan and remeron. Both I suffers terrible side effects.Just started throwing up. I don't normally throw up just really bad nausea. I started getting sick, stood up to go to the kitchen to get nausea medicine and I get this wave come over me, I almost fainted. Haven't fainted since I had my tilt table in 2008.

micheller Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I'm sorry you feel so sick. I've been that way for almost 4 years now. After dealing with the nausea, pain, and all the other symptoms daily for that long, I've given up hope that it will get better. The GI cocktail is great but doesn't last long. I believe it's maylox and lidocaine. Have you tried zofran for nausea? I have the dissolving tablets because they work faster. I've tried most of the antiemetics and zofran works the best even though it's still a hit and miss. I really feel for you. It's hard to deal with. It's my main symptom that I'd love to trade for another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
