Laura, I'm thinking about you today. I'm sorry this has taken so long to get to the bottom of but hopefully there will be answers today. It really does make me so angry when you've done all you could do to try to get the help you need and it is turned back on you, as if it was your fault. I know I would have given him an ear full that's for sure.

Let us know what they find out when you feel up to it, until then thoughts are heading your way.

Just to let everyone know that i did have the scope down and he said all looked normal, he called me surgeron and there setting me up with a baruim swallow, and if that is normal then he is going to talk to me about the reversal and it would be him doing it!! That, made me a little happier cuz he is a great doctor!! you can google him Dr. Eagon....but on a side note this nasua meds are not working either!! But, have decided to force myself to eat a few things a day wheather i want to or not!! I have to keep my health up not only for me but for my family!!! ANd by all means if i get sick then i get sick but at least i tried!! I so didnt want to leave the hospital yesterday cuz i was so weak i couldnt walk at all!! I even asked them to admit me which they wouldnt, my mom told me she was gonna put me in phy ward if i didnt settle down!! Well, I wanted some awnsers and im sure i was probally being a little rational about it but geeeesh i want this to be done with!! Thanks all!!

Talked to Donna on the phone yesterday evening and she told me that after this next step which is the barium swallow, then we are going to have a meeting about the "take down" reversal? Which is Nov,1!! keeping fingers crossed, but i did tell her on the phone from now on when i call i want all my questions and concerns to be brought to my doctors attention!! That he was not fullly aware of what has been going on these last couple of months and that really botherd me! And of course as emo that i get i was crying!! but anyway just wanted to let you all know!!!! Thanks Laura

Best,

Default just a little update

First of all I want to say thanks to all the replies!!!! Very appriciated!!! More than you know!! Anyway, I do go have my barium swallow tomorraw!!! On a side note I have been eaating a little better the nausua has went down just a little but enough to let me eat about 3oz I am getting all my liquids in but my protein is still pretty low!! After i get better I will start working harder on my protein!! Right now I am just trying to keep things down and right now the only thing that is working well is salads so i try to eat grilled chicken with it or turkey!!! I am just hoping that everything is ok!!! Will let everyone know tomorro!! thanks all again!!! Laura

Laura,
I'm so sorry that things aren't getting any better for you. How sad that your dr's office ignored your clamor for health and info for so long.

Nortryptylene is a wide net drug--it can be used as an antidepressant, antianxiety, sleep med, and apparently antinausea drug as well.

I hope they are able to find out why you are so uncomfortable asap and that it requires very little to remedy it.

Default another update

So went and had my barium swallow done and ressults are nothing is wrong? So what the hell? I believe this is becoming more of a mental issue, considering that i do have ocd? but why the vomiting then and nausua? I see my surgeron on thursday!! Hopefully we will have some kind of conclusion!! And none of the nausua meds work at all only make things worse and i mean worse!! Im out of ideas!! But, to be honest again the only thing that will allow me to eat is still the vicodens but you know they are helping me with my mood wise too, I even told my phyco doc that and he said well do what you have to do!! But, i dont want to live on those either but looks like im going to for awhile!! Anyone with any suggestions my eyes are open!! Thanks all!!
