My stomach cramps have been pretty bad today. Paracetamol does absolutely nothing and codeine only takes the edge off for a short while. They’ve given me another oral painkiller in liquid form which sounds similar to morphine but isn’t (I don’t remember the name). This might have worked but, unfortunately, I’ve just thrown up so it obviously won’t now. They did an ECG earlier and may have to do another one.
I’m just waiting on the doctors now.
I’m feeling pretty rubbish right now; my stomach has been cramping all night so I’ve barely slept. The doctor thinks it’s my bowel reacting to solid food after not having any for a few days so they’re giving me codeine and paracetamol to try and keep the pain down.
I have no appetite either so I’ve asked to have jelly for both lunch and dinner today because I don’t think I could stomach anything else.
On IV pain killers now because my cramps have increased quite a bit this evening. I’m going to request to see the doctor because this feels like it’s only getting worse.
Despite me wearing my thickest jumper, putting the heating on and hugging my hot water bottle, I haven’t been able to get warm all evening. I’ve had more BM than “normal” this evening too and my stomach/gut is soar from all that so I’m in more pain than normal. I really don’t know what to do, I’m already not going to work tomorrow and it’s look pretty likely that I’ll be back in the hospital before the end of the week. I just hope they find out what’s really going on and fix it.
Sorry for all the negativity but I’m really struggling to stay positive through all this.
Been feeling pretty crap this week. It’s been just under two weeks since I finished the prednisolone and I knew I’d have a few withdrawal symptoms like maybe a bit of stomach pain, but I’m still feeling like I’m on the verge of a flare up which is only just being kept at bay by the mercaptapurine.
I’ve been going to bed early and practically falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow but when it’s time to get up, I feel like I’ve barely slept at all so I think I’m crashing.
I keep getting cramps in my left side which feels like period pain sometimes (even though it’s not because I’m on the Pill).
On top of that, everything I eat makes me bloat, regardless if it gluten free or not.
At least I only have one more day of work this week.
I have a Fifth Edition session on Sunday afternoon which I’m looking forward to but at the same time wish was another day because I just want to be able to sleep all day Sunday.
