Hey everyone...
I have a question...Do any of you have stomach problems? If I was to trace back some sort of symptoms, I could go back quite a ways to unexplainable pain in my left lower abdomen. It would come and go. I had CT scans, colonoscopy, the tests came out fine and no one knew what it was.
For the past month, I have been having this pain high up in my stomach, right where the stomach starts that feels like I was punched. I have some reflux, heartburn, but mainly I hurt or feel nauseous off and on all day. It doesn't matter if I eat or not...I don't eat spicy things or greasy/fatty foods.
I was on Prilosec over a yr ago for Gastritis, so I started taking it again but no change. The Dr gave me Dexilant, which made me so sick, weak with diarhea. He switched me to Zantac which I take 2x a day..feel the same. I had an ultrasound this morning which showed my gallbladder had a polyp? The radiologist told me it wouldn't be the cause for my discomfort, and not to worry about it or do anything about it so now they are thinking its possibly a Hietal Hernia? I am totally stressed!
I don't know if I can postpone if I needed surgery or not. My husband is due back from Iraq next month when we move up to Wa state. We absolutely HAVE to move at the end of June...I have to rent out our house, since I can't sell it right now. I have to fly up to Wa to find a place for us to live, its so much pressure, I feel crushed all the time.
I am trying to do everything, I can't walk straight, so its extra hard. I have no family here to lean on.
So, my question is...Does anyone else think there is a connection between MS and stomach issues? My neuro would disagree.
