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.

Their online forms arent available weekends and evenings, which is a little silly so dont have much choice but to wait.

If you like the taste of miso soup, it's cheaper to just buy a tub of miso (it keeps in the fridge for ages), and add it to water or broth.

If there's no diagnosis if gastritis on your discharge notes then perhaps the oramorph was appropriate. Your discharge paper will have a diagnosis, either confirmed or suspected.

@inkgirl sorry if you have answered this but where is your pain and on what side? X

Ive never tried it to be honest

Yea no mention of gastritis despite them telling thats what it was

It was on the upper middle stomach and down the right side. They didnt seem bothered just kept pushing pain relief

So what exactly does the discharge notes say is the diagnosis @inkgirl ?

You keep saying that “they didn’t seem bothered”first about the vomiting; then about the pain; then about the bowel movements; then about the colour of faeces; then about fact you didn’t respond to morphine…..

You have just spent a week in hospital and have had thousands upon thousands of pounds worth of tests conducted on you.

”They” were bothered. They just found basically nothing to be concerned about.

Then you probably want to test whether you like it or not with the sachets first. I love it, but it might be an acquired taste. But it is extremely good for you!

Miso soup gave me horrific stomach cramps and diarrhoea, from what I googled that isnt rare, so I'd be cautious. Its a shame as I do like it!

I didn't mean it in a oh they can't be bothered, it was a they weren't concerned bothered.

Got to wait till I get paid but i will try them thank you

Ah really, don't think I can handle anymore stomach cramps

And I've just been sick again! How long does this last?

With respect, gastritis is a condition, not an illness. You have to learn to live with a condition, not suffer from it. Same with asthma, diabetes, etc.

Yes, you need to find a way to manage it, and try different things in order to do so, but reporting every time you are sick isn't helping you manage it, it just entrenches you deeper. It isn't something hospital will solve - they have done what they can and it sounds as if they have been very thorough.

Try to up your game - distraction, diversion, get out and about. This can all happen alongside gastritis. I am not saying it will make it go away, but your quality of life will be so much better.

What is your diet like @inkgirl ?
and your weight?

Turns out that gastritis isn’t the diagnosis after all

I can’t see any reference to gastritis on what you have screen shot

Gastritis is a general term, and I was using it that way.

Oh jeez really, went out yesterday spent time with the boyfriend outside of hospital, tried doing normal things just felt worse as the day went on, and now woke up feeling worse then I did before I went to bed, despite taken the medication ive been given I'm still feeling ill

I am a little over weight which I was trying to lose before all this anyway. Diet could do with improving still but its not as bad as it was

Lose weight
improve diet

that should help. A lot

Thats what I'm confused about they told me one thing discharge notes say different
