a little depressed

ok..so as some of you may know i was having some swallowing trouble a few months... i was doing better.. but the night after the wedding i had my left over meal and the food started to just come up ( gross i know)...
i went to the hospital cause my doctor was there. He admitted me for the night ( i was very unhappy about this) they put an IV in and started meds... they gave me Reglan..which is awful..and should be banned if u ask me. I was shaking from the inside out and couldnt stop it.. i felt like a crazy person. Apparently doctors say its an 'odd' reaction but ive spoken to 2 friends now who have had it in the past with no anxiety problems like myself and had the same if not worse reaction. It totally alters your mental state(not everyone i guess..but a lot of ppl seem to have this reaction). Anyway.. i couldnt wait to get home and with no answer they sent me home on a bland diet the next day. Well i guess my throat got really tore up from teh stomache acid cause i could barley eat mashed potatoes and went to an ENT twice. Long story short i've been eating baby food for the last 3 days and have lost like 4 lbs since everything is either hard to swallow or comes up on me. my mom just got me a milkshake..but even that comes up a bit... the ENT thinks i might be having spasms in there.
Went for a barium study today and they called me a few hrs later and said they need to do a 2nd one. I am just so frustrated... i am starving and now i am pretty much afraid to eat cause i am afraid to wind up back in the ER ..or have that chocking sensation. And my doctor was closed today so i have to wait til monday to see him and til next week for further tests. So far blood work and xrays look good. Doc thought it was stress but now he isnt sure. it's just really been bringing me down. DH is going to work in an hr to drop something off and it seems like this has been his busiest week and my worst... it kind of stinks!! it's really not helping my anxiety any..and i just feel down
Sorry.. just needed to vent a little!!!!!!!!!

I am so terribly sorry you're feeling so sick. I know it sounds weird but I hope they find something so that they can treat it and get you on the road to better health. Good luck and feel better!

thank you. It just stinks cause i was on such a high from the wedding and im trying to just focus on how wonderful the day was and me and DH...but its tough right now!! especially since i was in the hospital on my 2nd night as married woman...it really brought me down. i hope they figure out something soon too!!!

I hope you get better soon!! Keep us updated.

Krystal I'm really sorry. The first thing that comes to mind is that my stress always Hits me weeks after the fact. I know you've had some medical issues before this so I may be way off...but is it possible it's just all the stress from the wedding coming out now.

I really hope you feel better. Trust me, I know what it's like to have chronic medical issues (mine were stomach).

Thanks hun. I know stress is def. a part of it. And as the ENT said.. i am probably developing a fear of eating since it's so hard for me to do right now. But the acid in my stomach is def. effecting it to. Either way i just want an answer at this point. I'm already on .25 mgs of xanax anywhere from once to 4 times a day depending on how often i need it. Between my anxiety and this he said it would help with both problems.

It's also stressful cause Me and DH really want kids (he's 39 so i know he doesn't wanna wait too long..and honestly neither do i)...so i'm hoping i can figure it out and get off some of these meds and figure it all out!! although my MOH did offer to carry children for me ..lol.
thanks for the well wishes

oh no im so sorry! I hope you feel better soon!

i hate it when docs can't figure something out and blame 'stress' or 'nerves'....don't accept that! sounds to me like you have something really going on with you medically, get other opinions if need be! hope you get better soon

Ugh that is so horrible I hope you feel better soon!!!

I'm so sorry that this is happening to you! Try to just get through the weekend as best you can and keep us updated on Monday.

thanks so much ladies. I'm hoping for a better answer Monday and hopefully this 2nd test will give me something to go on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let us know what you find out on Monday. In the meantime, try not to stress to much....stress is a killer on the body (I know firsthand)

I can't imagine what you are feeling.. I would definitely try to have a protein shake if you can thin it out with extra milk so it goes down easier.. I hope you feel better and get some answers asap!!

omg! i am so sorry you are going through this. my prayers for you to get better!!!

make your doctor test for EVERYTHING. even if it is the slightest chance you may have it...even if your not in the demographics that usually get something.

a number of people in my family (including myself) have been diagnosed late with issues because dr's didnt feel the need to test for something because it was such a slight chance we might have it.

google your symptoms and see what comes up.

feel better in the mean time. try eating sherbert and a little jello if you can manage it. i know when i'm sick i can keep that down at least.

if anything, stick with ice chips to keep yourself hydrated!!!

I'm so sorry!!!!
I hope they find out what is causing this and get you on your way soon!!
