Trip to ER Today
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!

I'm so afraid that it will happen again!
