Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Tawny: Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. Stomach upset/diarrhea can be really difficult to deal with, especially when you have other health issues on top of that. I know you have IBS, but didn't you start your new med about 1 month ago? Could you be reacting in some way because of that? Please keep us posted as to what the doc says. I hope and pray that you're feeling better soon. --- In , " tdianaok " <tdianaok@y...> wrote: > I have been having really bad diarrhea for about a month.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 , I only took a couple of the pills, my stomach couldn't tolerate the med. I did call the nurse line here locally, and they advised me to go to the ER. I did have inflammation on my heart last year,(there is a name for it), so they told me that could be a possibility, or my liver. I am really scared right now. I am not going to eat anything, and see what happens. Thanks for listening, Tawny > > I have been having really bad diarrhea for about a month.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Tawny: I know you'd mentioned that it has been hot where you are living. Please make sure to take in lots of clear fluids. Try and keep yourself well-hydrated until you can get to the doctor. Try clear broths, water, or watered down apple juice. I would try and seek medical attention ASAP.....just to be safe. With all the trouble you've had with your health, it's not worth the risk of leaving it unchecked. Hang in there, > > > I have been having really bad diarrhea for about a month.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Dear Tawny, I'm sorry you are having a hard time. I would go to the ER if it continues and I pray all the lab work will come back ok. I hope it's not diverticulosis which I believe is an infection of the colon or bowels or something like that and one has to take antibiotics. At least that is what my sisiter is battling with the pain you describe and she is on antibiotics AGAIN for an infection. She also had r/a and... You are in my prayers. I prayed for everyone in the group last night as usual before going to sleep. May God bless you with wisdom and strength as you continue on this wonderful journey. Sincerly & with love, Marie > I have been having really bad diarrhea for about a month. I don't > really think too much about it, because I have IBS.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 , I woke up this morning feeling very dehydrated. I am drinking plenty, that is about all I can do. We went out last night, got some tums, that did help a little. I am drinking water this morning, and it is all starting over again. I will go if I get worse, its hard for me to go to the ER with my 10yr old in tow. The last time I went, she had to stay at the hospital with me. So, trying to avoid that right now. Hugs, Tawny > > > > I have been having really bad diarrhea for about a month. I don't > > > > really think too much about it, because I have IBS.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 a, I did start the patch, which I don't use all the time. Do you think that could cause the problem?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Marie, Thanks so much for the prayers. I will go if I get worse, so don't worry. Hopefully, whatever the problem is, it will pass. But, I will call my doctor first thing on Monday. Just having liquids this weekend, and see what happens.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Tawny, so sorry you're having all these awful GI things. The first thing I thought when I read your post is maybe a reaction to meds, also. Are you doing any better? When your tummy is sick it just makes you feel bad all over. Have you tried gatorade- or powerade, it tastes less " nasty. " Hang in there, sweet girl. Are you still homeschooling your dd? My grandbabies went back today, and Chas goes off to Marshall on Saturday. The first week is freshman orientation then real classes begin on Aug. 29th. Will be keeping good thoughts for you. Love jane > > What about the patch? Didn't you start that about a month ago? > > > > > > a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hi Jane, I still have problems eating, because of the diarrhea. The indigestion isn't as bad. I'm really watching what I eat right now. I have been trying to come down with a cold for a week, and that hit me too. So, just trying to take it easy right now. I have tried Gatorade, and will get some when I get to the store. My little one started school last Tuesday. I am not homeschooling this year, yeah:)!! It was a little too much for me. I am glad to have the extra rest, shameful me:) How are you doing? Your always on my prayer list, Tawny > > > What about the patch?

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Tawny, I hope you get to feeling better soon. Changing meds around or even just adding new meds can do this to your GI system. If it isn't better soon, perhaps you should call your doc. Get better...Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Tawny, Did you talk to your doctor today? Would Imodium help? The duragesic patch has diarrhea listed as a side effect. Not homeschooling this year isn't shameful. Maybe next year you'll feel up to it. a On Aug 15, 2005, at 1:16 PM, tdianaok wrote: > Hi Jane, > I still have problems eating, because of the diarrhea.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi Marina, My liver enzymes are up once again, so I think that is why I am feeling so bad. Now, I have a cold in the summer, so having a bad time. Oh, if I had a magic wand right now:) I am tired of being sick, Tawny --- In , " marina_troi " <marina_troi@y...> wrote: > Tawny, I hope you get to feeling better soon.
