So my biggest complaint with my post viral gastroparesis has always been my chronic-unbelievable amount of nausea. It has stopped me from doing almost everything. I am a month or so away from heading 3 hour away to college studying to be a physician assistant in a 6 year program. I am beginning to doubt every decision.
For 1/3 of my senior year at high school i was doing great. Even after i was doing great. I gained some of my weight back that i lost a year ago. Then a month or two ago i hit a rough spot and are starting to have more days that are hard to get through because of my nausea. I had my tonsils out 2 weeks ago-worst thing ever when you have a stomach disease. I got sick off of every single medicine even the anti-swelling medicine. it was hell for everyone around me and watching me be that sick. Ever sense the surgery and being that sick due to the medicines-my stomach disease has come back and 10X worse i feel like. I can hardly eat or drink because i'm very nauseated. I'm nervous going into college and orientation that i won't be able to make it because even smells have been bothering me and making my nausea worse.
When I was this sick a half a year to a year ago I tried every medicine for nausea. I did acupuncture, naturalist who tried giving me herbal stuff that did nothing, and nutritionist. My attitude went from positive and determined to now becoming negative and scared to death of the future because of how sick i got. I thought sense I was feeling better, i would only get better.
When i was hospitalized last year they put me on even the highest anti-nausea medicine possible through IV and it still did nothing.
I now am quitting my summer job earlier then planned because standing up for 4-8 hours 4 days a week drains everything out of me. I become lifeless because of how tired I am.
any suggestion? I'm very very frustrated and losing hope to my future and am praying it is just still trying to adjust from surgery and it will just fix itself.
I haven't been to my gastroenterologist in almost a year because things started to improve with my physical therapy and now i'm thinking maybe I should go back before I head off to college in a month and 8 days!
note: when I have nausea i hardly ever throw up..i feel like I have thrown up for the past day or week and i want to but I never do. I don't hold it in, no way anyone could that's why i don't understand how i don't throw up and one reason doctors dont look as serious to my issue of nausea sense i'm not throwing up. Sometimes throwing up feels better and relieves me.. then having my constant nausea. I dont and wont ever make myself throw up though.
I also have other symptoms like fullness, sometimes really bad indigestion where I can taste everything i ate without throwing up (if that makes sense), bloating, cramped feeling, pains near the stomach and liver and the other part after my stomach that starts with D (can't think of medical term). I've had gall bladder out, tonsils, surgery on both ankles, and a bizillion endoscopies and a couple colonoscopies.
My main thing is nausea. I constantly feel like I have the flu or that i'm car sick and all I want to do is stay in sweat pants and lay around and stay still without moving. Again, any help?
there are 4 things that keep me sane while i'm feeling very sick and i will lose the 2 most important thing when i go to college. 1. my dog Sadie (yorkiepoo) 2.Listening to celine dion (going to concert aug. 12 if i can handle it) 3. the internet (lets me vent like this lol) 4. my mom (she is 10000% there for me)
