Hi You Can Tried Free Legal Advise & Demand To See An Independant Medical Person To Tell You What & Why This Has Happend, You Do Not Want To Be Like Me Fighting Off Sepsis & Urinen Infections & Now Have Found That Since The Opp My Prostate Has Enlarged & I Am Being Fast Tract For An Investigation On It & Blood Test After Blood Tests Still Going On After 3 Months & My Be More Now But Any Try That ok Best Of Luck Ok
I sympathise with you. I have a 5cm hiatus hernia and yet they won't do anything to me just give me pills and send me away to suffer in silence.
hi have been told i need the surgery but am waiting to have ph studies and osephageal manomatry.
i habe been in an iut iff accident abd emergency with such epigastric pain.
Its a nightmare isn't it. I am the same with A&E and all they do is keep for several hours, do bloods, hook me up to a morphine drip and then discharge me and tell me to see my GP to refer me on but when the GP does they discharge me saying we don't know what the problem is other than the hernia and keep taking the tablets.
same problem. i have been told my consultant that he is refering me to uclh because mine is very complicated. as is third time. no medication is working and am on morphine and codine pain.
I have codeine too as well as Amitriptyline and another couple of tablets too. I think I take around 13 tablets per day to try to keep it at bay which sometimes works and other times I am in agony and curl up with hot water bottles and sweat it out the best I can 
I also take anti depressants. i have just got an appointment for the 24hr ph and osephageal manomatry studies. which will be done on the 13/14 feb. hopefully next step will be the surgery. i am dreading the test as am not allowed to take any antireflux medication until after the procedures.
To be honest if it is the same one I had you will probably not feel like eating anyway. I had a tube up my nose and down into my stomach that had to stay there for 24 hours. Whilst I had it in I couldn't eat as every time I swallowed I could feel it pulling at the back of my nose and it hurt so I couldn't eat hence when they got the results of the acid in my stomach there was none because I hadn't ate!
sounds like the same thing i am having next week. i get acid wether i eat or do not eat. while i am writing this i have got such acid and have only had a cup of herbal tea. they are doing two test one is the 24hr one and the other is to test the muscke strength in my osepgahus. not looking forward to either as both consist if having a tube in my nose.
Well hopefully they get to the bottom of it for you. Let me know how you go.
will let you know how i go on tuesday. not looking forward to tuesday and wednesday. how are you feeling. am suffering st present as have had to stop all meds until after the procedures. can only take painkilleds and anti depressants.
I have good days and bad days but they just discharged me with no diagnosis or anything other than I have the hernia. I just take all the pills and try to live each day as it comes along and suffer when it plays up. They just don't have a clue so they just send people away to suffer.
i have been told i need the surgery and will be refered to a surgon following the 24hr tests. my consultant was just waiting for these to be done so hopefully now will get a date for the surgery.
am dying having such a bad acid attack tonight. have not even eaten much only had a yoghourt and a banana. in for a bad night ☹
Poor you its not nice is it. Try a hot water bottle too sometimes it can ease the pain slightly.
have invested in a heat pack that you can heat in the microwave and it helps to an extent. not looking forward to tuesday. have to be at hospital early for the one test which lasts a couple of hours. they thwn take the tube out and then get a couple of hours break beforethey insert the tube for the 24 hr test.apparently not been kept in but have to go back on wednesday afternoon to have tube removed.
how are you feeling this weekend. wasvgoing to ask are you in the united kingdom or elsewhere. not having the best of weekends. dreading the 24hr ph and osepgahu gealmanomatry tests on tuesday and wednesday.
Let me know how you get on. I have had a fairly ok weekend with not too much pain for a change. Its a rare moment that I cherish when it happens!
I am in the UK yes, how about you?
hi yea. iam also in the uk. I live in north london. i am in the medical proffesion so all this is even more difficult as i know what should be done about the symptoms. am dreading tomorrow.
