    Tips for pain management

    Hi all, I am undiagnosed as of yet, but, depending upon some upcoming blood work, I may be starting another round of testing. Right now I'm trying some different medications that my doctor recommended, but I'm still in a fair amount of pain. It's not enough pain fit me to go to the ER, but it is...

    As usual, back when things get bad and question about Donnatal.

    I'm back again. A couple of weeks ago, I started having pain in my lower right quadrant all day every day. I made an appointment with the doctor for today, and the news was disheartening. Several months ago, after a hospitalization for a very inflamed small intestine, and several more weeks of...

    Sedation during MRE

    I'm scheduled to have an MRE of my small intestine on January 14. I did a phone consultation with the radiology department the other day and they asked me if I'm claustrophobic. I said not really, and when I asked about it, they said that if I were claustrophobic, I could request a sedative from...

    Frustrated!

    As some of you probably know, almost two weeks ago I was put on a regimen of antibiotics including Flagyl. For the past three or four days, my midday dose of Flagyl has been making me so sick - to the point where I've had a lot of nausea and even vomited a few times. I just called my doctor's...

    Pain back after Colonoscopy

    A little background if you haven't seen my story in the other forums (sorry to be repetitive, but I think it's relevant): On November 5, I was admitted to the hospital with sharp stomach pains on my right side. After staying for a few days and being subjected to a few CT scans, it appeared that...

    Best phone app for journaling food, symptoms, etc?

    Kind of an odd question, but given the fact that I'm supposed to be closely monitoring my food and symptoms for the next couple of weeks, it seems that it would be easiest to do track using my iPhone. Any thoughts on an app that would be most effective for this? Anyone else done something like...

    Feeling strange about clear colonoscopy

    Well, I just got back from my colonoscopy, and it was totally normal. Even my doctor seemed surprised. Good news, for sure, but I'm feeling oddly...disappointed? I know that sounds weird, but basically this clear colonoscopy puts me in the same place I was before - not knowing if I have or had a...

    Still new, but making progress - and a question about missing work

    Hi everyone! I posted in the "Your Story" section the other day, but I figured it made some sense to come hang out here in the Undiagnosed Club while things are still pending. Long and short - I went to the hospital on November 5 because of a recent fever and continuing AWFUL stomach pains on...

    Undiagnosed and VERY new at this

    Hey all, Just looking for a little bit of support, I suppose. Basically, I've had stomach problems for most of my life, but I've largely chalked it up to "having a sensitive stomach." I've gone through periods where I've had issues with vomiting more than seemed normal, but those were also...
