I was hoping to get to work on my fence this weekend, but that’s not going to happen. I’ve had a tummyache since Monday, but I figured it was just something I ate. Then Wednesday night it got so bad I could hardly breathe, and I ended up in the ER. They ran tests and couldn’t find anything, so they just gave me painkillers and sent me home. I saw my doctor yesterday, and she ordered even more tests, but so far they haven’t turned up anything. I have to load up on ibuprofen just to be able to breathe and move, sleep is miserable no matter what. The ER gave me some stronger stuff but it makes me throw up and doesn’t kill the pain, and that is a very unpleasant combination!!
Add to that, both th ER doc and my doctor said to stick to clear liquids only, so I’m having to stay near a bathroom.
That was my week.
Have they checked your gallbladder? Those are the symptoms both my husband and I had. For him, it went on for years. Surgery in Dec. cured it instantly and forever. The doctor thought he might have been sufering from a bad GB for 20 years.
For me, it was just one attack, but surgery cured it.
That’s not good. I be saying a prayer for you. Last time I had pain in the tummy area and trouble breathing, It turned out I had fractured a rib. Last time it happened to Hubby, he had appendicitus.
Hope they figure it out, and you get to feeling better.
If you are throwing up after taking your pain med-consider changing pain meds. I have horrendous nausea for about 36 hours with half a grain of codeine. No way will I take anything related to codeine. Possibly a different pain med would be better.
