Can’t decide if it’s stomach bug or I’m dying

[cryingonthesaledailts]

I woke up with stomach pain that has slowly got worse. It was at a 6/7 and is now about an 8ish. Within the last hour, I’ve also developed a slight temperature

I feel FINE. Not particularly tired. Not feeling sick or any changes in toilet habits. But it’s so, so sore.

Middle of the stomach? Above belly button.

I don’t have a gallbladder or an appendix and this feels different to those pains when I did have them.

Do I just wait this out? So sore I’m quite shocked I otherwise feel normal beyond a slight temperature.

I do not have childcare for disabled DC so a hospital visit would mean emergency foster carers, so I’m reluctant to seek help unless it’s absolutely vital. ‘No harm in being seen’ isn’t actually true when it means your disabled child is left with strangers and you’ll spend ages on the phone to social carer emergency line. If there was a real emergency that was life and death, DC would have to go with the police until care was found etc

Inam so sorry to hear that, thank god you went to the hospital! I hope your disabled child is ok. I hope you do not have to spend to much time in hospital and you recover quickly.

I'm glad you got seen to ! Get well soon. A couple of us weren't far off with our thoughts then.

I’m glad you sort medical advice. What made you go in the end?

Do you have a treatment plan?

I hope you’re feeling better soon x

Unusual to have pancreatitis without gallstones. Have you been drinking at lot more lately?

What do you mean without gallstones ? Do you mean without a gall bladder? You can still have stones .
