I'm in so much stomach pain and I'm throwing up everything including my meds and all my doctors are blowing me off and GI is saying we can't get you in until May no matter what your dealing with. My PCP isn't much of a help. He gave me a refferal to another hospital but I haven't heard back. I'm dropping weight like crazy.
Do I just die from this or what? I'm on medicare so I need refferals so I can't just walk into another hospital. __________________ I'm Blue |

I think you can go to urgent care or emergency. If you tell them you have been puking for x days, cant keep anything down, have only peed once all day - all this has to be reflected in your blood pressure and heart rate.
Are you able to stand? You are not complaining that you are dizzy or falling over, or that you are puking or peeing blood. Do you feel you need IV fluids? You were diagnosed with an ulcer earlier this year, right? If soda makes you puke, dont drink soda. Dont eat stuff that irritates your ulcer. Go back to the BRAT diet for real. Unless as i say you are passing out. |

I seem to get sick after I take my lamictal. I went off it in Janauray then I put myself back on it last March or so. My pdoc told me I went up on it too fast. I'm on 75mg. I don't know if that would be an issue. Like if it would have caused any damage or something to my system.
But my mom is at the store now and I asked her to get me a case of unsweetened apple sauce cups and microwave minute rice cups __________________ I'm Blue |
