The Perfect Storm

yes, i think i read somewhere that there is a connection to ibs / colitis/ and the like. I'm so sorry to hear this. I would not wish this on my worst enemy.

I can empathize with you Rozy. Ever since my hernia slid up weeks ago I have not had one day of rest. Severe pain. Today is a really, really bad day. There's no sense in going to emergency and sit there for 12 hours when they do NOTHING. Just send me home and say all things check out okay.
I don't think i would like Florida. That's too hot for me. I like sweater weather. We have had a few days in a row of 47 degrees and my dog does not like it either. The exercises are not helping today. Not sure what to do anymore. I'm trying to think positive but my mind has been going to a very dark place all day. God I hope I do not do anything stupid but I'm just racked with pain. I'm so down.

I understand completely.
Oh Lord !!! Please help US !!!
Just trying to hang by a string .
Plus now all this with the tooth stuff last two weeks !! Aching day and night . Living on Motrin . See the Root canal specialist Monday ! My guts such a mess , my anxiety is terrible. My heart palps kicked up . Fatigue.
People just don’t understand.
I’m praying 🙏 for you friend.
We will be moving out of FL in 2.5 years after hubby retires . Even though last 5 years I’m only 2 hrs north of my kids . My first grandchild due in Jan ( my daughter)!!! Still I want to go back to partial seasons like we had in NC . I don’t blame you . Not Ohio though we my kids were raised . Too cloudy and cold and snowy .

As if the stomach issues weren't enough, now you have problems with your tooth. I don't know how you manage. I really don't. You are a bad ass Rozy. I could never make it through like you have. I am praying for you too. God help us both. PLEASE.
Congratulations on becoming a grandmother. It's really a great thing. I love my 2 grandchildren. My son Chris raised them right and I'm proud of them. They are 15 and 18 already. Young men.
Our weather is all over the map here. Hot, hot days, rainy days and then cold days. In one week.
Rozy, have you tried charcoal tabs. You need to take them apart from other meds , 1 to 2 hours apart but they are really good for absorbing crap in your body. I've started taking them after I eat and it's been keeping the heartburn away. And if you can eat sweet potatoes , they help with heart palpations. Stay tough friend. I am so praying for you. Please Lord, please, bless Rozy and give her health back to her tenfold. PLEASE.

I feel so bad for you both, sablegirl and rozy288. I pray that you can get some help.
I’m 72, have had diarrhea issues for years though usually no pain. No one understands when you are having a bad day and can’t go anywhere, they think all you need to do is wear a diaper! Ha I wish.
Your experiences make me thankful for what I have, I can’t imagine having pain every day along with it. I had a bad day yesterday with gut pain, and it’s certainly debilitating.
I’m in Florida also, it’s too hot to even take a walk or use an outside pool. So lack of exercise doesn’t help.

Thank you MaryLouC. This has been the hardest thing to get through. I just feel so helpless and the healthcare system here in Canada is just awful. No one seems to care if you are in pain or not. They think it's perfectly okay to tell you to wait 6 or 8 or 10 weeks to see your doctor. Going to ER is no better. They just do not listen to us. You sit there for sometimes literally days. I know a lady who broke her leg last month and was taken by ambulance to the general where she laid on the bed, in the hallway for 5 DAYS. 5 days. Can you image. They had to rebreak her leg, put in a plate and some pins. It's a wonder she didn't die during that time. It's unthinkable what you go through up here if you get sick. I sure hope your health care is better than ours. You might not be as bad as Rozy and me MaryLouC but it's still debilitating to have to go to the bathroom like that. I've been there and yes, my boss, said to put on a diaper and get back to work. She had no clue. Thank you so much for your kind words and your prayers. I sure hope God listens and grants us some kind of reprieve. It's very hard to stay positive when one is like this. God bless you.

Just want to take a moment to encourage you… God our Father hears our prayers. He is with us and will never leave or forsake us… Jesus Christ, The Son of God took our sickness and disease on the cross. Here are a few promises from Gods Living Word….
Matthew 8:17, Isaiah 53:4, 1 Peter 2:24,Psalms 103:1-5
May His peace rest upon us all.

Thank you soultercherry4. I need all the help i can get. I will read these over tonight and pray that God rests His peace on my troubled soul. God bless you.

You are so kind . Yrs I’ve tried everything they make for digestive , stomach disorders and colon disorders. I did take charcoal capsules for a while but nothing helps me .
I’m having another horrible day . The teeth throbbing , gum , into my temple two weeks .
The Motrin has to get in me every 4 hrs . Tomorrow I see specialist. I’m having anxiety so bad and my gut is exploding 💥 all day . The fatigue is killing me too .
I’m really hungry but no desire to eat ( lots of nausea earlier ). Over 800 deep wet belches since 6 am . Which is normal for years .
I barely even talked to my husband all day . He did lawn in the hot humid weather early at 9 am .
Then a few things and I’ve been in my room in bed 🛌 after shower 🚿 most of the day . I’m beside myself. I know we all have a cross to bare but sometimes you think you have had enough.
Praying 🙏 for you too . Thank you to all that replied as well .

I'm so sorry Rozy. What a terrible fix you are in. You need to take the pain killer but it messes up your tummy even more. If it's not one thing its another. I can't figure this out. I too get really anxious before going to a doctor. I think they call it white coat syndrome. There is actually a name for it. Whenever i have to leave my comfort zones I worry I will get diarhea and I have a phobia of medical things so I don't want to be picked and prodded. Menopause made everything so much worse. I am crying with you Rozy. I will hold you up in prayer and you hold me up in prayer and maybe, just maybe God will answer us.
