Not really sure if it is DS related... but have you thought maybe you had a

bit of food poisoning?

Near miss trip to the ER.......

Last night I had a horrible experience...I had eaten my dinner, (nothing

unusual), and was " puttering " around the house. I had previously in the week

replaced some plumbing fixtures under the sink, but had some leaks that I

could'nt stop, so the cold water and the reverse osmosis system was off. I

decided last night to fix it. I spent maybe a half hour lying on my side and

reaching into the cupboard to get to the fittings. Finally got it right.

A little while later, I started feeling weird...realized that the feeling

was the precursor to a vomiting session. I began salivating a lot, and ran

into the bathroom. I endured forceful, gut wrenching vomiting so bad I

thought my but was coming up too. And then the pain started.

Donna... I kinda agree with Jerry.. sounds ALOT like a kidney stone attack..

having been on your side in an awkward position reaching for plumbing fixtures

this could have been just the right thing to kick start a small stone out of

place.. just enough to give you a taste of what it's like.. my experience with

kidney stones (all 5 of them) coincide with your story.. quick onset of odd

feeling.. nausea.. intense gut-wrenching pain.. and finally pain ending quickly

(after hours).. i'll tell ya.. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy..

no-sir-ree! But yes.. do call in to the office for safety sake.. Janice

>I started feeling weird...realized that the feeling was the precursor to a

vomiting session. I began salivating a lot, and ran into the bathroom. I

endured forceful, gut wrenching vomiting so bad I thought my but was coming up

too. And then the pain started. It was in the stomach and abdomen, and was

horrible. I layed on my bed curled up in a fetal position, moaning out loud. I

finally decided I had better let my mother (who lives with me) know. I didn't

want her to find me dead in bed, with my guts exploded all around the room. Of

course she panicked, and wanted to get dressed for a trip to the hospital. I was

thinking to myself, I'll have to call 911, because there is no way I can drive

in this condition. I layed in my room for about another 20 minutes, and all of a

sudden the pain stopped....completely.

Donna,

That actually sounds a lot more like one of my recent kidney stone

incudents, but without a CT scan or catching the actual stone, that's

pretty difficult to confirm.

My attacks usually start with a minor discomfort, vomiting (predominately

dry heaves), and then intense pain that makes it nearly impossible to find

a comfortable position. So far, these attacks have lasted between two and

three hours before the stone was actually passed, but until then the pain

was so intense I pitty a woman in labor if that pain is anytning like this.

I'm glad you are feeling better, Donna! The symptoms were so sharp, though,

I would add my voice to the others in saying call the doctor. I hope you

continue to feel well.

Hugs and blessings,

Ann
