still sick after 17 months out

Is anyone out there still sick. Dumping on any thing and every thing. I am having bad,bad pains in the lower part of my chest. For a few days everything I eat makes me feel like I am having a heart attack. My chest hurts. It happen when I was in the hospital in october and they put me on a heart moniter and said my heart was very good. Today I feel like crap. So weak over the weekend my son had to pick me up and carry me to bed. I am only 42 years old. My feet and hands are swollen. I eat no salt...........My stomach is swollen and sore. I have a md appt. @ 2:00 today. I just don't feel like moving. I hurt all over. Just feel like laying down and not getting up. Yes this depresses me. I am so tired of being sick. But I will not get my gbs undone. I will die a skinny person. My weight stays between 95lbs. and 98lbs. I just don't feel good any more at all. No days do I feel good. I want 1 good day. Trying to go out and get my kids christmas is hard work for me. I can't even stand long enough to cook for them anymore. And I am out of work so much. They keep trying to find a reason to get rid of me. And I have been here for 15 years..........I am just so depressed of being sick. Yes I am on depression meds.........2 kinds..........I take all my meds and do what I am suppose to... I get in all that I am suppose to......... Just don't know anymore........................................ god bless Amy

I had chest pains every day for a month or so. Was hospitalized and got a full cardiac workup on the front end of that month. Heart was fine. I was having esophagael spasms. I tried to see what triggered it and found it was my vitamins. I switched from any tablets to capsules or chewables and the pain went away. Also helps to take them with warm liquid to help start breaking them up. You might want to see a gastroenterologist and get scoped. There is some type of test for spasms but I never had to get it. Figured it out by my own observation and switching things up. I hope the doctors can figure out what is up with you and get you on the road to recovery. Please be sure you are getting your vitamins in one way or another. It is really critical. Take care! Kathy

The pain went away for a few months. And I did ok. Not good but ok. Then it just started hurting again...I take a butt load of gummy vitanins. And I have to crush some of the big pills. I am on so many meds. On lots of pancrease meds.Thanks for caring. God bless. Amy

Amy, You definitely need to see your doctor immediately. Why do you think your employer is trying to get rid of you...because you've missed so much work? Can you take a leave of absence (you've been there long enough to be able to do something like that****il you find out what's causing your medical issues. You need to get to the bottom of it all now. Please let us know what the doctor says. Good Luck. I'll be praying for you. Maura

You REALLY need to see a Dr. Are you intentionally that underweight?

nooooooooooo.......When I got down to 88 lbs. I said more than a few bad words to the doctor. I told him to freaking fix me. He should have never let me get that sick and that low.........He wants me now at 120. If I can just get up to 110. I will be tickled pink. Food makes me puke.........about all I can eat is a bagel.....toasted......Liquids are getting where they make me sick. I eat food then in about 2-3 mins. I am puking. hot,can't breath. and it goes on for like 45 mins. then I am real sleepy.....It is almost every time......It is hard to be sick at work. I can't lay down. I can't run and puke every few mins. I guess I am just depressed and tired of being sick. I will know something today. I hope....................went to a new doctor............. Amy

I have took lots of fmla leave. I have not worked a whole month in like 17 months. I stay to sick and weak. The doctor has me on lots of pancrease meds. He hasn't said that I have pancreasetitas. But said a round about way that I did. SO I am not sure. I will know today. Thanks so much for the prayers..............God bless Amy

when I was in the hospital last month. I was in there for 8 days and called my nursing director and told her I was going to be out in the hospital for a while. She told me that might be a problem. "you know you have been out alot"..........I called the county manager. He told me to have it put in my fmla......That I will be in the hospital and will need to leave every friday to go to the doctor. And they was not happy I went to the county manager. I have been here alot longer than the nursing director. And I have been here alot longer than the health director. They will just have to deal with it or go to the eeoc............... Amy

Hey Amy, I hope your appointment with your MD today was productive. I'm actually hoping that he admitted you to the hospital so that you can get the help you so desperately need. Its obvious by your post that you are starving yourself, and your body is rebelling in a tremendously obvious way. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, that you can get past this dark hole you're in, and get healthy. Wendy

I will know some thing today.......I hope........I went to a new doctor. Seems like the old one just anit kickin it anymore........Think he just don't know what to do. He don't have a good track record when it comes to gbs. Found that out a little late. But oh well it is done and now I just got to get things fixed.......... Amy
