Stomach and cramps

[MANATEE91]

I have been getting sicker and sicker for the last week, stomack and just not feeling well, Monday night,Tuesday morning, I just didn't sleep, I couldn't lay down because it would hurt my stomach so much, I would go side to side looking for some comfortable position but it didn't happen.  I haven't eaten or gone to the bathroom in a few days so I had the dry heaves.  It was a constant hell for 24 hours with no relief, I could walk around and it would help some but it was still real bad.  I went to the Dr Wed morning (small clinic) and she thought I needed an ultra sound and that it maybe a gall bladder.  She also prescribed medicine for IBS.  I don't know if the medicine helped or what ever it was played its course but it was the sickess I ever remember and I'm a 54 year old Male.  I would almost rather die than go through it again.   That was another thing, my emotional state was about as low as a human being could go, it was horrible.

Hello sorry to hear you have been physically unwell, it does sound quite an ordeal..do you have a date for your scan?
I think you should drink plenty of water and eat lots of fibre to keep the constipation away, hopefully it was just a very nasty gastro bug and nothing serious.
It sounds like you could do with a lot of rest and to take it easy..
When we are physically unwell it does effect our mood and can leave us feeling pretty crappy!
Try to rest up and keep us posted with how things go..
Hugs
