So after 5 hours waiting in the er,
doubling over and crying every 10 or so
minutes, I was given a 5 minute chat with
my doctor who practically called me a liar
and sent me home.
Help!!
First off, I do have ibs. I've been
dealing with it since I was 12. I was
recently perscribed paxil for the stomach
pain, which is what was always the ibs,
and the stomach pain has been relieved.
That is not, however, what I was trying to
figure out.
I saw a gastro. Found blood in my stool,
did a colonoscopy and endoscopy. All
clear.
I saw an internist. She gave me the paxil
for the stomach aches. Ordered blood work
and a gallbladder ultrasound(and the
pressure killed). All clear. Still not
okay.
I saw a surgeon. No stones, but a hida
scan has been scheduled for friday.
Here's what i've been dealing with for the
last month or two:
intense pain, mainly located in my right
stomach, below rib cage, almost constant,
but I have crazy attacks which make me
unable to move, breathe, etc.
Appetite, lost.
Weird heat flashes where I go into a fever
of about 100 and sweat outside. (it's
winter in indiana...)
chest pains.
Constant, constant fatigue.
I can't sleep at night because of the
pain, but even when I get a full nights
sleep, I feel like i've been up for 3 days
straight.
It just gets worse and worse the longer
time goes by. Please, i'm desperate for
any ideas you can give. I'm 19 years old,
slightly overweight but very healthy(other
than this) I can't keep living like this,
this is no life at all.

I was on looking for help with y problem
and read your post. I felt compelled to
write and say that I sincerely hope that
you get it solved soon. I know that it
gets hard to deal with something that is
undiagnosed, but keep trying. Good luck.
