So I finally got my MRE on Monday after being tossed around in schedule changes. I had an empty stomach and everything ready for my scan. About 20 minutes after I drank the delicious Golytely, my abdomen started moving around and cramping during the scan. After also a mild reaction to the the injection, they decided no medical intervention was needed and sent me home. My stomach had been twisting since the MRI and got worse over the next hour. I was eventually unable to move and in the most horrible pain in my life with my 3 year old and 11 year old trying to help me. I called my neighbor and she called the ambulance. As soon as the ambulance and fire rescue got to my house they immediately greeting me like I was faking it and annoying them. I was so shocked. I was having trouble talking because the pain was so unbearable so they were only getting more annoyed with me. Then I started projectile vomiting the orange juice I had when I got home Once that happened and they saw my stomach under my ostomy was rock hard and sticking out they believed me I guess.
I hate that I ALWAYS have to convince them or docs and medical professionals that I'm not faking it. Anyways, I'm terrified to eat and my stomach is still in alot of pain after my 9 hour blockage working its way out in the ER. Missed e call from my GI yesterday so waiting for him to call today.
I have had Golytely before, I don't understand what happened. Also my MRE showed nothing according to the ER doc.
They still have no idea why I am getting blockages so frequently. No sign of Crohn's so far. Waiting for my GI to call me back so we can do some type of scope.
