Being sick everyday for 4 weeks

[inkgirl]

As the title says. Ive been sick everyday for the last 4 weeks, usually just a little. This time it was quite a bit. Not sure why I was sick as not eaten nice lunch time. I have a doctor's appointment on the 19th for something else. Do I wait till then and talk about it adding to a list of things I have to talk to them about or call 111 in the morning? I'm not pregnant. Pregnancy tests are negative so not sure why I'm being sick. Dont usually get stomach pains with the sickness and nausea but tonight I'm in a fair bit of pain right in the centre of my stomach.

Undiagnosed maybe but OP has been diagnosed with gastritis.

My mum had morphine when she had peritoneal cancer that spread to her colon.

Morphine causes constipation.
Have you asked them about MALS?

Because of all the vomiting and pain, the medication they were given me wasn't working so they needed to rule out other stuff

Its definitely dosent help the pain and has only bad my bowel movements worse. My boyfriend asked them to give me laxatives as he's had it before

They have me laxatives about an hour and a half a go

Gosh, just come across this thread and I really feel for you. There's nothing worse than endless tests that come back normal, when what you want is something off the bloody scale so they can say "there's your problem" instead they seem to think if the tests say normal there can't be anything wrong while you are writhing in agony (or in my case saying, "but there's a big dark spot in my vision...").

Don't go home without a diagnosis and a prognosis. Good luck.

Have they got you on Omeprazole? That caused me awful inflammation and pain. I weaned off after six months as it upset my whole digestive system. They doubled the dose and it doubled the pain.

Its been an awful week, had a blood test almost every day this week for it to be normal, ct and xray was normal and had a camera down my throat this morning, 4th time and that came back things had improved from the last one I had done last month. So the meds they have been given me this week are helping is just also bunging me up. Theyve said I have gastritis. Been on 4 different stomach medication plus morphine and anti sickness and blood thinners. Was meant to go home today but had a sudden wave of extreme pain so they didnt send me home. Instead my boyfriend requested I get laxatives, so they've kept me in another night and now its a case of waiting for the laxatives to work.

I was on it yea they took me off that awhile ago because I had been on it a few years. They've got me on something else now can't remember what its called though. Just know its in liquid form

@inkgirl have you had a colonoscopy?

Ive not no, they're sure they've figured out what's wrong with me

Neither can I, ive told them when I was in the first few days it dosent do anything for the pain its just bunged me up. Had laxatives last night and still haven't gone

Good point!
According to AI: Yes, morphine frequently upsets the stomach. It alters digestion by slowing down stomach and bowel movement, which often leads to upper and lower gastrointestinal issues.

Common Stomach and Digestion Effects

• Nausea and vomiting: Very common, especially when first starting the medication or raising the dose.
• Constipation: A near-universal side effect because the drug drastically slows down bowel movements.
• Cramping and gas: Changes in gut motion can cause mild to moderate abdominal discomfort.

OP, I hope you feel better soon. This is so awful for you

Absolutely shocking! I am so glad you posted about it. There are anti-nauseous drugs that may or may not help but at least they won't make you feel sick.

No thankfully the vomiting has stopped, pain still there though.
The only other thing they can give me are ppi's to help coat the stomach stopped in pain that way.

Well its definitely bunged me up, had laxatives around half 6 last night and still now bowel movement
Thank you

What have they said about the yellow bowel movements?

Nothing just that its not normal

Surely you’ve got nothing left inside you to come out!
So sorry you’re going through this.
