MDJunction to me

Sylvia4648"I have suffered from depression most of my life, but had some long, non-depressed times. The last 16 years have been an on-going, constantly worsening nightmare for me medically, socially and with my family. 11/2008 to the present has been the worst time in my life, and new things just keep piling up. During that time I’ve gone from being mostly homebound to being totally homebound due to the errors of about 2 dozen doctors who overmedicated me so badly that I came home w/ 4 conditions I didn’t go in with. I spent months wanting to die, and finding MDJ may well have saved my life. It’s one of the worst feelings to know that nobody on earth needs you for anything; but now that I’ve been a group leader for awhile, there are people here who need me. Thanks MDJ." (Sylvia4648)

Hello. I know that recently you posted that you did not vomit as much one day. I hope that that experience does not dissuade from getting to the doctor about it. Not as much, is probably still not very good, and I'd like to know that you are taking care of yourself, getting the help you need, even if there is even the slightest improvement. You deserve a life free of vomiting and suffering and make the docs take you seriously and don't give up. You are so strong.

Dearest Hawakeita

Thank you so very much for your post. You have no idea what that means to me. Well I spent most of the weekend vomiting. This week has been a little better. Monday was rough but it has gotten a bit better. It goes off and on. I have a doctor's appointment to go over my bloodwork which was not bad. There were a few things that were off but nothing horrible. I guess I will bring up the vomiting again. I don't see how he can help me. I will try though.

Today I am very sore and having trouble moving around. ALL my joints hurt and I have a killer headache.

Well, since you said to keep investigating my stomach issue I will bring it up with the doctor.

Thank you.

How are YOU?

I should have kept my mouth shut because now I cannot stop vomiting.

Something set me off.

I had a seizure a few hours ago.

Now I am SOOOOOOO tired but cannot stop vomiting!!!

I HATE THIS!!!

IDNK....I am so sorry to hear this....have you called your doctor to let them know you are still having seizures and still vomiting? I think you should call them....I will keep you in my prayers.

Well, I went to see the doctor. He couldn't help me. He just increased my sleeping medication,Trazodone from 100mg to 150mg. Guess what? I am still not sleeping even though I kept it down for about an hour before vomiting.

I guess we all struggle.

This one is really hard to cope with and not do something I would not be able to undo.

I will not say what because I know it is against the rules and wouldn't want to upset anyone.

God is testing me and I am losing the fight.

The worst part is doctors can NOT figure it out.

Even with antineasuea medication I am vomiting.

God please hold my hand tonight and do not leave my side.

Where are You?

God Bless you all. Many of you struggle far more.

I know I shouldn't ask why.

Crying has come and gone.

Where am I?

Who am I?

WILL this end?

I have switched medications, I have stopped medications, I have had tests. Gastritis but no reason. I am coating my stomach like I am suppose to.

At this point I am not able to eat and can't keep down liquids. I am throwing up a lot. I have been throwing up a LOT for two days.

I do NOT want to become dehydrated again. I had to get fluids not that long ago.

Please make it end.

TORTURE TORTURE TORTURE

God Bless You Dear Friends
