For the last two weeks I have been having some health issues which has made me worry even more, and sleep often. It started out with a loss of appetite. The smell and sight of food turned my stomach. I had started to only eat once a day, then hardly at all when I did eat. I had been feeling sick to my stomach for days.

Mom had prepared me a delicious chicken ceszar salad and after dinner I took a shower. My food had not even begun to digest and was already being thrown up in the shower. My body was rejecting any food I did manage to force myself to eat.

My boyfriend works in the health department and is really amazing. I told him I have no problems keeping liquids down, so he told me to buy some meal replacements. I bought some BOOST drinks which helped a lot. Drank one a day, and he also recommended that I start taking a multi-vitamin. I've been taking the vitamin, plus boost for a few days until I could get into the doctors.

I had finally managed to get into the doctors on Thursday of last week. I told him what was wrong, and he listened to my stomach and asked me a bunch of questions. He told me he thinks it could be an ulcer, but he would send me for blood work to find out what was wrong with me more accurately. He gave me two trial packs of NEXIUM to take while waiting for the results. (So typical of a doctor to prescribe something for what they THINK is wrong, instead of seeing if it's truly that.)

I have finished one week worth of pills and started the first pill of the second week's worth of pills to treat an Ulcer. I still have not received a phone call about my blood work results. I may call them on my lunch today to find out if they got the results in, and if so what they are, because my stomach is still uneasy and I gag a lot these days. If I talk for too long I start feeling an increase in pain in my stomach.

...is the nexium helping at all, or what?

If so, the doc's likely on the right path - could be an ulcer (or maybe even just some kind of "stress induced" acid reflux kind of thing maybe).

If not, I'd be calling that doc before lunch and getting some answers and other options. (Says the guy who only goes to the doctor when he's forced to do so... )

Whatever it is, I hope they get it figured out and get you back towards normal before long. Love and best wishes to you, Mira-dear.

Unsure if they are working, stomach pains are still lurking.

I also HATE doctors.

Cdnflirt How are things now? Did you finally get an answer to the stomach conundrum?
