That's what I felt when I had a blood clot in my lung a few years ago

but not only for deep breathes but just breathing..

Jenn,

It does sound like a gallbladder attack.

I went through 2 attacks, and my doctor

told me it was gas. Well, the 2 attack

got so bad that I ended up in the

hospital, diagnosed with gallstones.

My pain felt like someone had pierced me

through the mid-stomach with a sword. I

had muscle pain all over back,

especially lower back. The pain would

disappear for a couple seconds when I

changed positions, but it would reappear

quickly. My stomach felt like I had

fire inside me, it burned and I was

bloated. If I touched my stomach, it

was rock hard. And no bowel sounds.

When I had my first attack, I didn't

know what it was. My granny stayed up

with me all night, kept moving me

around, she massaged my back which

helped a tiny bit, and I kept taking

Tylenol3 to kill the pain, but it barely

touched it. It finally went away by

morning. Two weeks later, it happened

again, and it was much worse. I

couldn't breathe since my stomach was so

distended. It's like I had swallowed a

balloon made of steel. Mom took me to

the hospital just in time. If I had

tried to get through it like the first

time, I would have been in serious

trouble because this time, I had

developed Pancreatitis and was turning

yellow. All the doctors were amazed how

I could take the pain for so long, my

blood count was unbelievably high,

apparently no one else they have seen

with such serious Pancreatitis, all

caused by gallstones.

So they put me on a no-fat diet, and

scheduled my surgery in May, so I could

finish off the semester. I think this

happened in March of 1999. With the

diet, I had no more attacks. The

surgery was done the old fashioned way

and now I have a 6-inch incision on my

stomach.

If this sounds like what you have, don't

wait, and go to the hospital now.

I hope you feel better soon. Let me

know if I can help.

Eternal Blessings,

Meg.

illnesses

Last Sunday, I woke up with strep

throat. I went to the doctor and

got a perscription for Amoxicillin (the

pink liquid kind). In

general, I don't get antibiotics first

thing, even with slight nasal

congestion, because I don't want to get

some antibiotic-resistant

thing going. Plus, they don't do

anything for viruses. I know there

are some drugs - I think Levaquin and

Cipro might be two - that fight

both, but I try not to take any unless

it feels like congestion is

migrating down to my chest. But on

Sunday, I knew I needed to go to

the doctor because my lympnodes were

swollen to the point where if I

leaned my head forward too much, I could

hardly breathe. Plus strep

is running rampant around here (southren

Ohio).

Then early yesterday morning, I woke up

with this piercing pain in my

right side, just under and beneath my

ribcage. I've had this a few

times before, spread out roughly around

6 to 8 month intervals. I

used to think my curvature was causing

my ribs to puncture an organ or

something, but after talking to a few

older people with similar

attacks and doing some internet

research, I've decided they must be

gall bladder attacks. Does anyone else

have these? It feels like I'm

getting stabbed in the side for anywhere

up to 12 hours or so. During

this time I feel so bloated at times, it

hurts to take deep breaths

(well, " deep " for me). And I cannot get

comfortable in *any* position.

One of the symptoms of Pleurisy is extreme pain when you " try " to take a deep

breath.. I've had it several times before and it hurts like hell to take any

breath.. And it can move from one area to another. When I get it I take

Antibotics (Cipro) and prednisone. The prednisone will knock out the pain in

less than an hour for me. If it is indeed Pleurisy.. And it is almost always

in my right lung which is the smaller compressed lung from the scoliosis.

So your pain could be from several different things..I Hope you get over it

quickly..

Jenn,

How well have you been with bowel movements?

It could also be gal bladder aches, maybe even diaphram aches.

If they persist that long, see a doctor. get x-rays, blood tests, anything.

It scares me to read you suffer twelve hours of pain.
