Guest guest Posted February 6, 2001 Report Share Posted February 6, 2001 I've been very sick on and off for about 15 years. My current issue is nausea, vomiting, pain in my liver area (under ribs, right side and other places in my abdomen), slight fever, headache, feeling faint, my skin looks red, hands and feet swell up during the night, my muscles ache, I have chills, mental confusion, lost 48 pounds . . . could go on forever. My GP has been treating me for 7 months with ulcer medications without success. Anyway, I had my gallbladder removed in April and that's when my worst symptoms began. Went to the GI and he did an endoscopy/colonoscopy and ultrasound of my liver/pancreas. He removed a polyp in my colon and said my ultrasound and bloodwork looked OK. He told me pathology found some sort of infection in my stomach that looked like it " could be " Helicobacter Pylori, but I DON'T HAVE AN ULCER! Prescribed 2 different antibiotics plus Prilosec (again). Since I took my new medication, my stomach pain is worse than ever. I just happened to find some correlation of my symptoms with Hepatitis. Can my GI tell from ultrasound/bloodwork whether I do or don't have Hepatitis? Something else that's curious . . . anytime I drink alcohol I get pain in my liver area and most recently, if I remember anatomy correctly, in the area of my spleen. Just wonder if I'm barking up the wrong tree. I'm soooo sick, and scared because they really don't know what's wrong with me. I would appreciate any and all feedback.
