 | |  | | I am just going to blah for a while....
For 2 months, I have been having stomach issues. I eat I get nauseated, I don't eat I get nauseated. I never feel hungry, but I feel full with like 10 bites of something (that is if I don't stop eating from the nausea first).
Due to me not eating that much, I am having lots of dizzy spells, and disorientation when I am standing/walking. I put my hands on the walls, counters, chairs, railings, to help myself not fall. And I havn't yet but have I mentioned that when I get these spells they make me more nauseated?
I have only threw up once so far, and that was in the morning before I ate anything. Morning is when it is worst, and it is hard to get up out of bed. I threw up another time but that was during a blood test so doesn't count, at least I don't think.
I learned that if I stop eating as soon as I start to feel sick then it doesn't get that bad, but if I keep eating, I am over the toliet or have a trashcan next to me to be sure.
Tonight I had 4 bites of lasanga (which is the best made by my mom) 3 bites of salad and 2 bites of a breadstick, and some juice.
I have seent he doc about this and last month she priscribed heart burn medication. Reason being she thought maybe the acids in my stoumach was too acidic. The first week it didn't work, then I had one day where I only felt sick in the morning when I had brakefast, then the rest of the day I ate and ate, didn't feel sick and felt full after a normal amount of food. I thought to myself "YAY!! It is working!", that was the end of that. I continued to take it for the rest of the month but it still has had no effect.
I saw the doctor yesterday and she said this is serious that I am not eating as much as I should and is sending me straight into a gastronologist. She gave me a referal and said that they would call us to get an apointment. So we are just waiting for that, then hopfuly we can figure this out.
Oh also when at the doctor yesterday she did an abdominal exam and when she pressed on my liver it hurt! My whole stomach was tender but didn't hurt. But over the liver it was like "OWIE!!" So who knows.
I have a feeling I am going to have a lot more blood tests.
More blah.
Well my tyriod is normal, which is good. But the test I threw up during (then which I had to retake) was an insulin resistance test, and I am right on the border line of having it. No meds, just have to watch my carbs. This is good news as 4 years ago I was borderline diabeties. Of course I was 30 lbs heavier. WOW, I just relized what I said, when I was 14 I was 30lbs heavier then now, that has got to say something in itself.
Even more blah.
Okay, not really blah more of a question. Harley, can you tell me what Dysautonomia entails...... someone keeps showing me links and I have a lot of the symptoms but am not sure on where to go with it. I don't think I have it, but better to check it out and be wrong rather then not check it out and find out I have it ten years later.
Anyone bored yet? |  |  | |  |
