Re: Been in Hospital

Ronnie, So sorry to hear about your hospital stay. Hope it's nothing

serious. I've had a lot of GI problems. Inflamation of the stomache and

esophagas. Must be careful with meds and certain foods. Hope you get to

feeling better this weekend. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

, do you think the drugs you take for RP has caused any of your GI

problems? Since, I never had this type of problem before I am wondering

about the meds we take. Love and God Bless, Ronnie

Ronnie, C here. Meds have always bothered my stomach, but I think

its worse now (must be old age)lol I'm sure the Meth and Pred bother it. I

take Prevacid(?) for my stomach. What meds are you on?

I have Ronnie and I have been hospitalized for it. Mine was really severe,

they said the medicines did it. Then a while back it happened again and they

did another scope and the doctor said it was the RP doing it and that they

may have to go in there and cauterize everywhere it is bleeding. That pain is

horrible. I pray you are feeling better soon. Please take care.

Love you

Glad you're feeling better Ronnie. Hope they can figure out the reasons for

this too.

Keep us updated.

Hi, everyone. Well, our plans to go to Georgia were spoiled when I was

taken

by ambulance to the hospital Thursday Morning. I woke up about 2:30 AM with

extreme abdominal pains so severe I could not move. I vomited so many times

by the time I was picked up I was vomiting bile. They kept me at the

hospital until last night about 7:00 PM. I had a lot of different tests

done. A GI Doctor did a test where he looked into my stomach and took a

biopsy. He said I had gastritis and after testing the biopsy I should know

something. I will make an appointment with his office in about two weeks.

Has anyone had experience with this type of pain? Wondering if all the

medications I am on could have done this. Anyway, my stomach feels better

and I am happy to be home. I have missed all of you. Love and God Bless,

Ronnie

So srryto hear about yur pain and hospitaliation. On at let two

occasions I too wa ken o the hospital wt extreme abdominal pain and

onstant vomiting andwhen there was o liquidleft, the dry heaves. The

first hig they did was put in an NG tube although unpleasant, they tld

me it would hepstop he vomiting, and it did. They gotmy stomach

settled, did tess etc. on one occasion after a few daysthey sent me

home oly to be readmitted a coule of dayslater with the same problem.

Id have to get into the records t get mor information on that

hospitalizatio. On anoher occasion, i went n wit he vomitng etc pain,,,

after a few days my dctor was getting ready to discharge me when y

husband saw my pulmonologist in he hall at he hospitl, and mentioned

that i wasin thehospital and wouldhe vist. he didthe nextthing i knew i

woke up afer a 5 day cma. Seems during the vomitin I aspirated adn

developed severe pnemnia that alsmot killed me. I do remember they id

gi tesscolonolscopy i had internal leeding and tey saidi did nt have an

ulcer, thati had tracts in my stmach--i actuallyhave pictures of tese.

rtuately after 2 monts in the hospital i did rcver. Yes i do believe

the meds did helpcause tis. so leae do not let vomitng or abdominal pain

go untreated. do not mea o scar youbut I have come to realize that I

have to take pain---anypai seriously and not dismiss it. no matter how

little it seems. I tell the dctor and keep a personal log.

sincerely
