May I share some good news about my health.

[Lillixyng]

For the past 18 months I have been under the care of my GP and local hospitals for problems with my stomach. I have a diagnosis and have been trying to various prescriptions. Last week was dire, blinding headache, constant nausea and retching. On Monday I went back to the GP and got seen immediately.

I was prescribed a different medication and have now been free of symptoms for three days. I feel like I have been reborn. Throughout this I cannot fault by GP and the NHS.

I don’t have anyone to share this as nobody knows how ill I have been.

That's brilliant! I'm glad you're feeling better.

Oh how flipping brilliant! Massive congratulations. You can never overstate the joy of being pain free after so long. Marvellous . I am thrilled for you.

Hooray what a piece of good news, so pleased you have some relief from those things and hope you can now enjoy your Christmas

Hooray, long may it last!

That's great news @Lillixyng. You must be so relieved to have found an effective treatment.

Yes, please share good news, little enough of it in the world and on MN! I have gut issues various ones,on meds at the moment, not working, probably having to go back to the Dr next week. Under one consultant, another next month. Am hoping you will be able to tell us, what the problem was.

For the past 4 years I have been unable to eat. No appetite and feeling full after a few mouthfuls. I went down from 7 st 7 to 6st 5 at present. There was no pain but quite often I would be retching , sometimes two days at a time. I was diagnosed with Erosive gastritis. I was first prescribed Omezpresole in a high dose which eased it. I was waking up with a migraine practically every day. The symptoms of retching and nausea though did not cease. I now have Prochlorperazine which I take three times a day.

Thank you all for your good wishes. I hope those of you suffering find some relief soon.

Fantastic! I'm really happy you're feeling better.

Wonderful news @Lillixyng ! So glad you shared this with us here on MN! You've suffered in a most horrendous way. So very pleased that you got the attention you needed, and so quickly, from your GP and the NHS. Also glad you were able to share that with us, as there are all kinds of negative comments on this and way too often. May you remain symptom free, and begin to enjoy your life again! All the very best to you!

Thanks, glad for you. Me acid plus silent reflux. Last year dreadful abdo pain, I had a flare up of mesenteric fat stranding,caused by previous abdo surgery. Also found at that point to have a hiatus hernia. Yes, massive doses of ppi, plus stringent diet. I've never been overweight, never smoked, don't eat rubbish... mostly vegetarian . It's miserable. Now I have this weird acid taste in my mouth. Having to try and sleep upright.

Excellent news - great to hear you're feeling a lot better 😊

That is fantastic news and will make a huge difference to your life in many ways.
I hope you can enjoy your daily life now

Great news, long may it last.
