Terrifying Tales of My Terrible Tummy

[mrs. vr]

AGH!!! I seriously wish I could yank my guts out thru my nose and just be done with them!

After weeks upon weeks of D, Friday I started getting really bad pain, threw up, everything I ate or drank made my stomach hurt. Yesterday, I wasn't as nauseous, but still food was making me hurt. THEN...(oh I'm so glad there is someone I can tell this to who wont get totally grossed out...) THEN! Everything STOPPED WORKING. I knew I had to go, but I couldn't get it out! I felt like my stomach muscles just weren't working, I couldn't "push" hard enough. Of course, when it gets backed up, when it DOES come out, I bleed. Oh, and for the record...NO ROSES HERE. :stinks:

I am so sick of this, seriously. I don't know what I'm going to do if there is nothing conclusive from these latest tests. Actually, yes I do, I'm going to throw a temper tantrum, right in the doctors office.:arghmatey_ani:

Oh, and on top of everything, I'm getting one of those sores on the corner of my mouth that hurt like the dickens, and the docs can't agree on what it even IS! (I've been told it's fungus, not fungus, dry skin, not dry skin)

See that's what happens when you dont know which end is up! LOL..Seriously, you sound like you are obstructing! Also I have had my intestines collapse, but it only happened for a few min and only once. When your bowels arent moving it is a sign that there is narrowing. I really hope you doc does something before it gets worse. And you said you were Hiccuping?? I think it was you... when do you see your doc next? Good luck, let us know.

Yeah that was me, but I ALWAYS hiccup, it's not any worse now that normal. I see the doc again in a few weeks, but I tell you, if I feel like I did this weekend before then, I'll definitely be calling. I'd just like him to have all the labs and stuff back since he's new (to me). Yikes, intestines collapsing, that sounds bad, and scary!

This is pretty much what's happening to me these days. For me, it's caused by a 9 inch stricture made from scar tissue in the large intestine. As it's scar tissue, and there is a large area affected, surgery is my only option.

I know how you feel

Creepy...*hugs*. Nothing like that showed up on my scopes back at the beginning of the year, so I'm sincerely hoping nothing like that has had time to form!

My stomach still isn't settled, but it seems like if i eat small amounts of really boring food, it's not horrible. I still get some pain after I eat, but it's nothing like I had this weekend, and entirely liveable. Unfortunately, things still aren't, er, moving the way they normally do. Maybe that just means I'm coming out of this latest flare, and this is more...normal?

Ugh, did I mention I really hate this???
