Hi everyone I have not been on in a while but I would lik to see if anyone else as suffered with stomach problems with fibromyilagia. Since June I have had chronic lower stomach cramps and vomiting first time happened the pains got so intense husband whisked me off to hospital after being there 4-5 hrs seeing many doctors an 2 surgeons and load of pain relief was told it part of fibro. Surgical doctor said I will have to go for double camera but app never arrived. So these pains carried on but got worse to the point of when it happens I can not eat or drinks as it makes me gag an I vomit again. So been back an forth to my gp over it to be told I have food poisoning which I told her it cudnt be as I ate the same as my family members. So finally I have had a camera for my stomach an biopsy from stomach an bowel. Sorry for the ignition long essay an thanks for taking time to read it kirsty xx
This happened to me 2-3 times after I had eaten Chinese food. I decided it was due to some ingredient I. The food, possibly msg. Since I wanted to stay out if the emergency room I quit eating Chinese food. It hasn't recurred
I tried that as well but still happening I cut out all take away food for this reason being. Thanks for your reply 😊
...google stomach disorders, persistent vomiting, even pancreatic issues, ....do you also have ibs issues ? I'd personally check out the pancreatic avenue as it's reminding me of my mums early days with pancreatic issues. If it is pancreatic related then it needs to be addressed as soon as possible, like all other things - the sooner you find out what is causing it, the sooner you can get on top of it.
Hi Kirsty,
I'm wondering it it's anything to do with some medication you are on. I had this happen to me when taking hydroxychloroquine, just a thought.
I get all these symptoms your describing with diverticular disease, I also have Fabriomyalgia so it can cause flare ups worse? Diverticular was diagnosed via a colonoscopy, so might be a good idea for both a colonoscopy and an endoscopy, I've had three flare ups this year and my body is totally exhausted with it all, I have no energy whatsoever, hope this helps xx
Hi ii have just Googled pancreatic issues and all the symptoms are the same so I will nw Spk to my gp about it I really do need to get to the bottom of it as it gone for long enough thank you for your help
Hi sukes my husband has suggested this as well but More not to sure as I have been on all the same medication since the start in 2014 but the sickness an all other stuff only started in June. Thank you
Thank you Trisha I will have to Spk to my gp about it do you suffer with bad fevers with this as well. I have had about 5 since June it totally wipes me out for at at least a a week thank you I will Google this disease as well xx
Yes I do have have ibs issues as well
Yes, I do take fevers that's because there is infection in your body, I'm so exhausted and not very keen to go out because of the fever and dizziness. Xx
Yes I am the same an it's also so embarrassing cos am sweating all the time xx
Just another thought Kirsty, could you be going through the menopause?
I'm also going through the menopause and a lot of the symptoms of Fabriomyalgia can be exaggerated due to these added symptoms of menopause. Who would be a woman! Lol
Hi sukes am not to sure as am only 37 I thought I may be to young my urologist nurse did mention this to me so am not to sure I will have to Spk to my gp
Hi all I went to see my gp today as she has some results for me I have to go for further tests nw as I have a enlarged bowel an she said it can 1 of 2 things ibs or ibd which she things it's possible I have the second which is inflammation bowel disease I have a lot of the symptoms I will not find out in till I have had more tests done so yet again another waiting game as the hospital as not got any available appointments yet. I also spoke to her about the illness which was mentioned to me but she as said let's do 1 thing at a time xx
Hi Kirsty, well done you for seeing your doctor again.
I had two abnormal bowel tests and had to go for a colonoscopy. I was worried sick about having the procedure and the result. It turned out that it was diverticulitis, so not as bad as I was dreading thank goodness.
It seems as if it's all a waiting game, I hope they can get you in soon. x
I have had fibro and chronic IBS and stomach issues. Try illiminating gluton and dairy to see if it gives you any any relief. It has helped ease my symptoms
Thanks sukes I am waiting to go to the gastroenterology clinic so hopefully won't be waiting long it just a nightmare waiting an worrying x
Am being tested for celiac disease as well. I will cut these as well am looking for anything to ease it thanks
