I will try to make this story as short as possible. On 10/7 I was admitted to the ER for about 5 hours for uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea. I am allergic to all anti-nausea medications so once I get going it is really hard to get it to stop. Thankfully with a long list of cocktails it calmed down and I was released, five bags low on fluid. They did call me the next morning and told me I had C-Diff. They put me on Flagyl. Blood in stool and urine. Exactly 10 days later I was back in the ER with the same problem if not worse. The doctor was afraid I was going to blow a blood vessel in my eye that is how hard I was throwing up. Seven hours and lots of different medication cocktails later they were finally able to get it under control. Oh and they retested for c-diff and said it is gone. Again bloody diarrhea and urine. Then we come to last week. I went into my doctor’s appointment and he sent me to the ER because I was so sick. I was in the hospital for six days and just got out two days ago. The nausea and diarrhea have subsided a bit but the pain has become wirse and is almost unbearable. Every time i eat I am doubled over in pain. They had me on bowel rest in the hospital for about 72 hours then advanced me to clear and soft foods. I have lupus, fibromyalgia, Sjogren’s Syndrome, chronic kidney stones and IBS. Although I have never had a IBS flare even close to this. Either way they have run test after test colonoscopy, endoscopy, CT scan and cannot find anything wrong besides all my lupus, Sjogren’s and fibro markers are way off which is typical for me. The only other things they found was my pancreas and liver enzymes are off and they have never been off before. But according to docs if it is not raised by 100's of points then it is not pancreatitis. They have done ultrasounds and CT scans and just see that I have bilateral kidney stones but otherwise everything seems ok. They prescribed a bunch of mediations when i left the hospital but the two main ones are benytal and morphine. If I dont take those an hour before I eat there is no chance of me eating without excruciating pain. Even with those mediations I am in pain (especially after eating.) I have not been able to eat anything but baby food, applesauce, toast, crackers and pasta. I have lost 12 pounds in the past week and am frustrated as all hell. I need to go back to work on Monday i have been off all week and I still don’t have any answers. Can anyone provide any incite? Has this ever happened to anyone before. The docs working diagnosis is post infectious irritable bowel disorder, mainly because they can not find anything else besides my intestines and stomach are inflamed and irritated. Oh also having bloody stools. Can anyone help??!!! I am becoming very very upset and frustrated.
Thank you:-)
