DESPERATE NEED OF MEDICAL ADVICE/ATTENTION I'm uninsured, scared, and don't know what to do!
Monday august 29th 2011 during the night maybe around 10 pm I gradually
(but out of seemingly nowhere) I started feeling slight numbness all
over my body, dizzy, light headed, hot/cold, moderate body aches, nauseous, and vomited a short while
after that. Whenever I would move my head it would feel heavy and I
feel sluggish. I didn't throw up the next day yet slightly felt all of
those previous symptoms. The next morning (wednesday the 31) I threw up
and couldn't eat that day. That same evening the numbness, dizziness,
etc. suddenly got pretty severe and I went to the hospital. The only
thing they could tell me is that it's probably gastroenteritis, but I
don't see anywhere in the symptoms about feeling the numbness and other
things. The just gave me Zofran (I got the generic version because I'm
uninsured). On thursday and friday I never threw up and ate a decent
amount but the symptoms never totally went away. It is now saturday and
I threw up this morning, but since have been able to hold down food,
however the numbness did come back but not at it's worse. I'm pretty
sure I have acid reflux or gerd on top of that but occurring
previously. I forgot to mention diarrhea but it's not severe or another
color, but once earlier it was watery, but not since. I also have NOT
vomited any blood. There seems to be so many contradicting symptoms I
have no idea where to begin. And of course without insurance going to
the hospital will be very unfortunate for me.

So there's no stricture? The top of the inside of my throat has a really weird texture with some bumps.. I don't know what this means:( Is it normal for the gastroenteritis to come back when I feel like I'm getting better?
Yea the doctor said either gastroenteritis or gastritis from H. Pylori (too much soda every day my whole life.. recently cut back) I would have to go back to the hospital to get the right prescriptions because I don't have insurance or a primary care doctor.
Hello there sorrry to hear that you have been feeling so unwell the past few days :(. My first question to you did you have a heavy meal that could have been undercooked ect ? If so you could have suffered with accute food posining! Secondly Acid reflux gives you very bad stomach ache and usually lasts for a short time and you can possible be sick with it but feel much better straight away without diarroe and sickness ectr. I no this as i suffer from acid reflux myself.
The term Gastroenteritis springs to mind as you say you have been sick and been havin toilet issues. This usually clears up within a few days and its like havin a flu virus or stomach bug. Another thing to remember is to drink pleanty of fluids especially water to stay hydrated through this ordeal. If you are suffering from a temperature then parecetomol will take the fever symptoms away.If you get any worse or feel weak ectr then contact your G.P who should perscibe you some anti biotics to get rid of the bacteria in you tum . I hope that you are feeling well soon and good luck i hope my advice helped.
