Last year, I started having bad bouts of diarrhea to constipation back and forth along with bad gas pains that came and went but were pretty painful.
I have been having these problems about once a month or so. This morning, I was woken up out of my sleep at 5am because the pain was so excruciating. I started screaming. The pain came in waves and I was able to get a few minutes break in between but it was unbearable. I was doubled over for a good hour so my husband called an ambulance.
On the way to the hospital, I started screaming again. The pain was SOOOO bad, so bad that it exhausted me. I got to the hospital and was still screaming because the waves of pain started becoming more frequent and I was getting less breaks in between and the pain just kept on getting worse. They kept saying they couldn't give me anything until I saw the doctor. After me screaming that I wanted to go to another hospital, they finally came in and shot me up with a large amount of dilaudin (sp?)
I did not experience a head rush, it went right to the area of pain, my lower lower abdomen on the left and calmed it down within a few minutes along with something for nausea. A little while later, Toridol rid of the last bit of pain.
They did a CT scan and found inflammation in my colon so they gave me Cipro (an antibiotic) and gave me some pain meds telling me to follow up with a GI. When I asked the doctor what it could be, he said he didn't know, it could be a few things but he thinks maybe Colitis.
I never EVER want to go through that again. The pain was so unbearable that I thought I was going to be sick. I was even foaming at the mouth from hyperventilating myself. I'm still really shaken up by how unbelievably painful that was.
Thanks for listening!
