OK I have to share you my horror story from today. Its bugging me so much I think i'll just cry as I type it. Last night my stomach caught me just randomly. And I'm not talking some bad pains, I'm talking MAJOR PAINS--The worst I have been in pain this whole past year. I couldnt sleep. And I threw up (which has NEVER come along with the pains before). It felt like someone like my right side on fire and forgot to turn off the lighter. I tried taking Buscopan (i took 4 in like a 3 hour span) and it did nothing to help.
This morning I called home and dad came in earlier before he had to start work and took me to the hospital here in Yorkton.
I waited almost THREE HOURS to even see the doctor, and the dude had some nerve!!! He wouldnt test me (just a basic urine sample), all he did was touch my stomach in different places and say "does it hurt here". He said he has no clue what it is and to go see my family doc since he knows the situation.. *cries*
My mom called the hospital and gave them...heck (using a nice word here)...and so they're supposed to call her back once the lady's out of the meeting to see if they'll take me back in again and actually check for something. If not, she'll drive here to pick me up and take me to Canora hospital.
What if this IS something serious? I have a friend in nutrion/health, and shes worried that maybe it could even be appendicitis. And yet these guys wont help??
I'm not going to school...my classmates will kill me, my teachers will kill me, but if I go to Canora i'll make sure I get a note...if I cant even sit in a chair, or can only lie flat, HOW could I possibly sit in a hard chair for 6 hours in class and then try to focus??
Sorry this is a rant, but I needed to get it out . I'll keep this updated

I'm very worried about you. It could be appendicitis, or have you ever been checked for ovarian cysts? They can be as painful as you describe (believe me!) A pelvic ultrasound would be a good idea, I think.
Please let us know how you are, when you can. I'll be thinking about you

I'm so sorry you're having this much trouble. I hope you can get in to see a competent doctor SOON! Is it actually your stomach or cramping type pain? I had a twisted ovary once and it hurt so bad I was vomiting. It can be excruciating. I hope you figure out what's wrong and get better fast.

Check in my signautre I was checked for ovarian cysts with a pelvic ultrasound this fall.Oh and mom's on her way for me now. Yorkton hospital never called back, and she called Canora hospital and they said to bring me in. Clearly small towns aren't always a bad thing...
Oh and lonewolf, it started off with cramps thru my whole stomach and then in no time at all stayed with the usual low right side.

Lisa, I am sorry you're in so much pain, and that the doctor at the hospital is a non-caring jerk. The same sort of thing happened to me a year and a half ago. I went to the hospital, thinking I was having a heart attack. I was in excruciating pain. After five hours, the doctor told me that my heart was fine, that it was 'only' severe stomach and bowel cramps. And that there was nothing wrong with me, and they sent me home. I was very upset.
I hope they can figure out what is wrong with you, and you feel better soon.

I had to wait a couple hours in Canora too, but I took a textbook with me so did some highlighting/reading...
The nurse gave me a pain killer shot, in the arm I chose. and MY GOD the pain. I still cant feel my right arm, its seriously a good thing I'm a lefty. Its temporary relief at least. And apparently my blood pressure was really high (could you blame me tho?!)
When the doc showed up he felt my stomach, asked what problems I've been having...and then he sat there thinking, he was like "what can I do to help you...." So he gave me a prescription for 3 things...Apo-Metronidazole, PMS-Mefenamic Acid, and Apo-Ciproflux...I know i've been on the Cipro before.
Oh and his first question to me was "Have you been checked for Ulcerative Colitis??"
I asked him if I could get him to make a note for the school so they know i was at a doc and he said "that's not a problem".
Blah Im gonna eat a little more and do a little lying down. i have a headache, i'm sore and just...i dont know. I suddenly can't wait for my 3 scopes

Did they consider gall bladder disease ? It is usually painful in the right upper abdomen, but not always! It is typically cramping in nature with a build up of pain and then easing. If a stone was present and got lodged, it would be very intense pain, and usually with vomiting. Stones or sludge can move in and out of the duct, triggering painful spasms. Other areas where the pain is felt from gall bladder is the right shoulder and between the shoulder blades.You look young to have gall bladder problems, but it definitely happens.....and I think a little more common in celiacs. Also a non-functioning gall bladder can do this,too. An ultrasound of the abdomen or nuclear imaging of the gall bladder(HIDA scan) might be in order. Are you any better tonight?

I'm so sorry you had such an awful day. Your parents sound like they were great. It's always nice to have someone with you when you have to go through these things. When are your scopes again? It's still a couple months away isn't it?
Hugs,

Just want to mention that a sonogram a few months ago which did not show ovarian cysts cannot prevent a new ovarian cyst from popping up. Your body changes every 28 days and a week after the sonogram, in theory, you could have started developing a cyst that would by now enlarge itself making your abdomen painful. I get them often these days, they go down or resolve themselves, only to have a new one 6 months later.
Husband has Celiac Disease and
Husband misdiagnosed for 27 yrs -
The misdiagnosis was: IBS or colitis
Mis-diagnosed from 1977 to 2003 by various gastros including one of the largest,
most prestigious medical groups in northern NJ which constantly advertises themselves as
being the "best." This GI told him it was "all in his head."
Serious Depressive state ensued
Finally Diagnosed with celiac disease in 2003
Other food sensitivities: almost all fruits, vegetables, spices, eggs, nuts, yeast, fried foods, roughage, soy.
Needs to gain back at least 25 lbs. of the 40 lbs pounds he lost - lost a great amout of body fat and muscle
Developed neuropathy in 2005
Now has lymphadema 2006It is my opinion that his subsequent disorders could have been avoided had he been diagnosed sooner by any of the dozen or so doctors he saw between 1977 to 2003
