firstly my apologies if I sound pathetic as I do know reading here they are many who are diagnosed and fighting there own real battles. But I have struggled with indegestion issues for a long time (male 50) and the past 2 months had a number of really bad attacks of cramps, in stomach, extreme pain that would last one to 2 hours and always after eating certain foods such as high fats cheese etc. Dr put me on Omaprozle for 1 month and it worked apart from when I ran out and symptoms crept in again. I already suffer from anxiety and depression that comes and go. Dont pass blood, but BM at times weird sometimes very normal, but it depends what I have eaten. Garlic / cheeses heavy rich food and booze can give me the runs. But my minds a mess cant work out if thats linked or not :(
Called last week for another prescription, nurse told me I need blood tests as the meds were only for a 1 month trial. And they need to find the root cause of this. Had the bloods done yesterday 9am. I am worried sick about calling and sat here unable to dial the number to speak about results yet. All kinds of thoughts of various stomoach / gastric relataed cancers come to my mind. Have hardly slept in a week. Have had mild to no discomfort since going back on the Meds, but I know the omaprozol can mask symptoms. And yes have spent forever with Dr Google (not good as I read all the worst outcomes)
I just wonder how people cope with that time before getting results .... im sat here feeling sick. My apologies in advance for the long disjoited post and I know so many facing so much more. But this is the only place online I think i can trust thank you Dino
