Tired of feeling sick

Uggh, I got sick early last week and ended up in the ER.  Throwing up, fever, dehydrated....the whole thing.  They thought I had a UTI so they gave me an antibiotic, ciprofloxacin.  That made me throw up everytime I took it.  So I went back to the Dr. and they say, no UTI ( I really didn't think I had one lol).  Well they all pushed on my belly and said I was too tender and made me go to the surgeon's office.  They said I was fine and too many people were pushing on my belly and I was just sore still from surgery.  Well the nausea has NOT gone away this whole time.  They started me on Nexium, which definintly helps, but it is almost all the time.  If I just think about food I get nauseous and start to gag.  I am not sure what to do.  They all say nothing is wrong with me but I am not eating and I really need to.  My husband made me chicken noodle soup last night and I sipped the broth and had a few noodles and kept it down.  Today I am at work and gagging every couple minutes s as I sip my water.  HELP PLEASE I want to get my protein and feel good but nothing is working.........

i feel like i just read the story of my first month out. i was sick ALL THE TIME. i had to do several barium swallow tests because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. i was always nauseas. everything made me gag. turns out, all i needed was time. i was put on compozine for the nausea which helped a great deal. as for the gagging thing, i still find myself doing it sometimes but i realized a lot of of it was mentally in my head and i have to sit there and mentally prepare myself to eat something. IT WILL GET BETTER, i promise. give yourself time, i know its so extremely hard right now. but thinking back to where i was two months ago to where i am now is amazing, altho i still get nausea and am still taking the compozine as needed. just hang in there and try your best to get your protein in! it helps.

Push the issue... I was sick too, kept telling me UTI, kidney infection... but I never got better, turned out to be something much more serious...if you dont feel better soon, make them run test like cat scans and maybe an upper GI just to make sure everything is ok.
