Feel so Sick

[Joleen23]

Hi ,
Im about to go to the A&E dept again , was there last night and medication was put up and was given codine and flagyl and put on drip.

Go to A&E and ask to be seen by the gastroenterologist!

 

[Manzyb]

sorry you are feeling so sick. I hope that you get in and see someone who can maybe help you some. Hang in there! I don't think all flares are quite so bad. I know I've had some that were way worse than others.

Hugs to you, girlie.

Is it possible the meds they have given you have made you feel worse? Why Flagyl and what was in the drip, steroids or just to rehydrate. If you were,nt administered steroids then I find that mix quite strange.

However, from what your describing i would think you need to go back to A&E, as Beth says and see a GI.

Hope you get better soon.

Joleen,
Let me first say that most people on this board know what you're going through!
You need to get in to a specialist or emergency asap! With flare-ups, they sometimes get better before getting as bad as yours, and they sometimes get worse and worse until you get an iv drip with some good strong meds in the hospital in you. If you choose to ride it out longer instead of goig to the hospital, make sure you have close family members checking up on you daily!

In general you are much better off going via your gp...either in or out of hours. You will probably have less of a wait, they have been qualified longer than many of the juniors on nights in a&e so more experienced. Also they can get you admitted to hospital under the appropriate team more quickly. It seems a bit bizarre you were deemed ill enough for drip,flagyl etc but then sent home-less likely to happen if you are admitted via a gp.

I hope that when you go back that they help you better. If you are in a flare up like that they should probably admit you. Hang in there, and feel well again soon.

I hope you get admitted to hospital as soon as possible.
Sounds as though you may need a round of steroids by IV
to get things back under control again.

Not all flares are as bad as yours seem to be...
BUT they can be...so please get in there.

Healing Hugs~Nancy
