Why too much TMI but I needs the internets doctors.

[chelelev]

I really do feel terrible.

According to WebMD I probably have Ulcerative Colitis.  A major outbreak 

I came home from work early.  Felt fine.  Had a salad, played on the internets, took a nap.  Around 11 I started getting pretty severe gas pains.  I spent the next 2 hours continuing what I thought were simple gas pains and lets throw in some upset tummy too.  I was curled up on the bathroom floor, I was sweating, I had chills.  I had PAIN like nothing else I have ever felt.

Finally, pooh happens.  But, what is wrong here?  I don't feel better, there is still pain.  Ok, go some more.  That is not pooh, that is blood.  Just blood.

I just went again, more blood and I still hurt.

I have to work tomorrow, I am sleeping on the floor between the bedroom and the bathroom, just in case.  I'll beg for time off tomorrow as soon as I get in to work..

Call in to work and go to the ER. Please.

I have gone, they think I have a viral infection aka Dysentery, I have come home with my little hat and jar for a sample so they can determine what kind and what they need to give me.

Clear liquids for the next 24 hours.

I had both colors, the most recent color was bright red.

Chele … shitting blood is an automatic trip to the ER, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

Especially is the blood looked like coffee grounds .. get thee to a doctor.

I was actually going to say it could be diverticulitis … but shitting blood isnt common and is a very very bad thing.

Suck it the fuck up and go to a goddamned ER … fuck amazon, they can live without you while you figure out what is going on in your abdomen.

Have you eaten any peanut butter lately? ;o)

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

Mark asked that. Nothing in the past 2 weeks or so.

Oh, Chele.

I'm no expert, to be sure. But that doesn't sound good at all, and I hope you seek help sooner.

Thanks. We are doing round 2 later today.

This is nothing compared to the issues you have had this year.

[ozgryph.livejournal.com]

I had that. Sorta. You may have roids that are getting scraped, thus bleeding, by eating anything abrasive.

Stay away from anything other that soups. Or go to a Doctor.

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

It is not the roids, they don't bleed this much.

Glad you went to the ER and hope you feel better soon!!

[lesliepear.livejournal.com]

Feel better soon. With symptons like that, you should be able to get out of work.

[chelelev.livejournal.com]

It wasn't so much to get out of work, I am temp, there is not personal time off bank for me to draw on. If you don't have any time available (We get 4 hour unpaid time off banks per month), you get points.

It was less points if you go and clock in and then go home than just calling in. So that is what I did.

I'm so glad you went to the doc! As others have said, those are symptoms that automatically require medical attention. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks. We will be going back to the doctor today - see new journal entry.
