Feel like my body is going to give out soon

[Epicjinx]

I'm in pain alot and I dunno how to cope can't take pain medication I've lost weight my throat is apparently going to heal and I'm loosing energy to cope daily.... I don't know what to do anymore the pain is constant I got anti-acid tablets to help because soon as I got in nearly threw up which is horrible. I feel like soon I'm going to collapse I dunno what to do or where to turn to now. Im extremely tired and keep sleeping more than eating and drinking.... Will I need a feeding tube to keep alive for the rest of my days? I'm being told the acid from paracetamol won't have permenant damage but I'm not sure....... I dunno where to go or how to go on... im really exhausted. I feel like my body is just going to give out soon. Help at All....???

I wish I could help! I can pray! I sometimes have weeks like that due to pain! You are in my prayers and feel free to PM me at any time. We are all hear to listen and pray. I am not going to say anything stupid like hang in there. Or you'll get through this. I just want you to know I am thinking about you.

That's what everyone else keeps saying that I'll get through it and the nightmare will end but I'm not sure about it. I tried walking to the doctors today and felt like collapsing.

Man, that just sucks. That's why I don't say those things. I can offer my support. Like I said. I'm hear. I can always listen. Now that I know, I will pray. Like I said. Pm me to let loose if you wish. I'm a good listener and maybe have advise. Hang in there the best you can. I honestly feel your pain.

that's a real shame your suffering so much,yes pain manifest's in so many ways,its so difficult trying to give helpful advice when you are struggling,so your pains are taking control of your life,but it all depends on what sort of pains you are suffering with? So there's fentenal patches which release a dose of morphine into the blood stream which are highly effective,but they cause bad constipation so a high fibre diet is recommended to keep you bowels open,and if your struggling digesting food perhaps speak to your health centre and see a dietician to see if you can have the high protein shakes that supplement your food intake these might help with your energy levels,I sometimes wonder why we have tongues in our heads when you feel like your GP isn't listening,perhaps have a friend escort you for an appointment with your GP to give you some moral support,explain the pain relief isn't working and causing you other problems,sometimes you have to go round the houses before you feel like your getting somewhere,I'm sorry that your feeling so low,but please do make another appointment with your GP,and possibly get put forward to a pain clinic which should be able to sort out some pain relief in the not to distant future,thanks

Pains I'm suffering with: heart burn, unable to eat much, pain either side of my ribs and sometimes on my belly, just getting up and walking hurts me. I dunno what else to do Samaritans tried to help but I'm not sure what else they will do now.

try getting an appointment with a stomach specialist and even your doctor can refer you for a gastrointestinal camera down your throat a bit unpleasant but it has what the NHS call a gold 5 star review,I've had numerous problems with my guts over the years and last year the camera picked up an internal bleed and had the bleeding clamped off,it was mind blowing how a little clamp can save your life,and the weird thing is that I didn't have any pain with that condition,but the duodenum ulcers had me in agony,the pains were unbearable,they came in waves and then the belching relieved it temporarily,you might need a course of antibiotics to see if you've got the h pylori bug which can cause the acid problems,keep to a bland diet and a definitely do NOT SMOKE or DRINK alcohol as this us a major irritant to the stomach,hopefully you can seek this advice from your GP and start narrowing down the source of your pains,and if it's a stomach ulcer related illness with in a week you will find a great improvement in you general health,good luck

I have been thinking of this but I'm not sure if they would refer me as I was there yesterday for my throat and got told it would heal.

[Cb1963]

well by the time you'd get an appointment hopefully your throat will be healed up enough to get this procedure done maybe,the acid in the stomach is pretty potent it can burn a hole through carpet,so getting heartburn,indigestion sorted will help you in the long term😊

[Epicjinx in reply to Cb1963]

I'm too scared to go back to the gp incase of annoying them so soon...

[Cb1963 in reply to Epicjinx]

it's your health here were talking about,I was blissfully unaware how serious my stomach problem was and I put it off for days as I was burying my father down in England and was told by NHS 24 to get to hospital straight away I had the procedure done,got released for 6 hours and then had to return for a total of ten days,so don't put it off,no messing around here,take care
