My body is to tired

At the end of Jan 11 I hurt my neck and the Doctor put me on these 2 mixtures of heavy pills that contained morphine and velum. I was taking 11 pills per day. After a week that I came off them I could not eat, had diarrhea and vomiting for 9 days. The worst of all was the nausea it was heavy that I had to move in with a friend so she can help me with my 6 years old daughter. I even was in hospital to give me the drip for fluid.

This really came at the worst time because on the 5 Feb 11 my partner was returning home after 2 years not seeing him but wasn't even able to go to the airport. I lost a whopping 4 kilos and my face looked as death is coming.

After those 9 days I started getting my strength back but because i am usually a very energetic person I knew that this is not me. Was happy Tristan is home and ricarda was over the moon with joy but I was to weak to join with their fun.

2 doctors said  that maybe this is the cause of coming off those plls my have affected your stomachs but my GB said no it cant be.

Now 2 weeks ago 2 march 2011, I started again very bad diarrhea, vomiting, nausea. I done stools test, blood test, pregnancy test.  All tests are good so WHY am I feeling so bad.GP say its  a viral gastroenteritis and he done me an appointment with a Gastric Specialist for more investigation. Thats  in fours weeks I cant stay will this another day..... I said to the GP, he said well this is not a matter of life and death so I have to wait. Ontop of it all I also have a cold, slight throat and period pains. My body has had it because with my lose of apatite its getting weaker and weaker.

What my GP is not understanding, that I am to weak to do anything. Like my work I havent been there for nearly 8 weeks. So do I have to make a stop of my life. I am a fighter............. but I need help to know what to do with my body. I am not the doctor here I am the patient.

My partner has been with me for 12 years and he his shock, he has never saw me this way and now he is thinking maybe I have postal trauma depression. So I went to the doctor and said do I have postal tranma depression and he laughed. So I guess not.

Please can someone relate to what I have and maybe give me a hope.

I am feeling better diarrhea, nausea and vomiting stopped after all these weeks. I have change surgery and now I have a really good doctor.

I had my blood test done again and stools and everything came positive. I am waiting to been seen by a specialist at hospital.

Yesterday I returned back to work after 9 weeks it felt so strange.

I still can not eat what ever I want. I can only take chicken, soup, potato, rice, toast and ginger tea.

Under my eyes are returning back to normal.

Thank you everyone, I will post after I go to specialist in 3 weeks.

Hooray I can enjoy my daughter again................. Thanks be to the LORD

My first guess would be your initial symptoms may have been withdrawl from the morphine. Nausea, cramps, and vomiting are classic symptoms of withdrawl from morphine.

You may also be going through a heightened state of anxiety, which can add to the gastro issues. Perhaps you've got IBS? Sounds like whatever it is will pass. As for postal trauma depression it all depends. I think that's something that a therapist would be better qualified to answer.

You also experienced the return of your partner after a long absence/separation which can lead to more stress, both good and bad. A surge of "good" stress can also affect your health as well. Give it a little while longer and if you are still feeling these symptoms follow up with the doctor.
