update on my misery

HI, I have not had enough energy to post, but wanted to thank you all for your support and friendship this week, I took all your advice and called Barix. I spoke to Dr Kam's nurse Tracey. ( she is so wonderful) Anyway, she suggested taking Zantac, that the stomach acid may be causing my nausea. I tried that yesteday. I have not eaten ANYTHING since Friday or Sat. little sips of water here and there but even that gags me..the smell or thought of foods makes me dry heave, and throw up bile. I tried last nite a sf popcicle and some chicken broth..and 2 saltine crackers..I FORCED it down, as that tightening in my thrat and jaw came and the salivating nausea.. I immediately had violent diahrea. nice. SOOO, still nothing today and I keep crying out of frustration at feeling bad, having no energy, and having to miss work. ( I have been in bed for two days. I know I am rambling. ANYWAY, today..Tracey from Barix said Dr Kam suggested that I take Nexium or some other similar med and an anti nausea, he could not call in a script as I am in Canada. I called my pcp who gave me a script for the Nexium and suggested picked up gravol at the pharmacy. I have done this. I hope it helps. I have a headache, and feel like I am absolutley dehydrated. I hope I can hang in until Sunday when I leave for my post op appt which is MONDAY...I really want to feel good and healthy again. this sucks. I am desperate to feel better and depressed from being ill and tierd and not eating. well back to bed. Viv

Sorry to hear you're still struggling with feeling crummy. Don't be afraid to call your doctor's office back and bug them till they help you. We'll keep you in our prayers, and hope you will be feeling better soon! --Dave

Prayers going up for you I hope you feel better soon. I also suffer with the nausea often, but I just suffer through it. The EGD dr said it would get better after my stoma was stretched NOT! I'm still nausated daily. Please keep us posted. Lesley

Hey Viv I will be there on monday to what time is your appt?
