Stomach playing tunes

Thank you for the lovely comments, I do appreciate the support.  Thankfully, I only rarely get troll comments and if I do, generally just bin them and don't even mention them - why give them publicity?  But it's hard to ignore and brush them off when feeling at a very low ebb.  

Some of you suggested making my blog private - I did try that, back when I restarted this blog.  Unfortunately, despite following Blogger's instructions, it just didn't work - can't remember why now.  I'm not the most techie person, techie stuff confuses the hell out of me, so possibly I was doing something or other wrong.  Whatever, I simply don't have the energy or will even to try doing it again, at this time.

I'm going for my armful of blood tests this afternoon, and it can't come soon enough, I'm feeling increasingly unwell, all the time now.  There's definitely something going on, my guts are playing up the whole time, I was actually sick yesterday for the first time - been feeling very nauseous for some weeks but not actually been sick before.  Literally everything I eat right now seems to upset my stomach....just had a bit of scrambled egg - just that, no toast or anything, and couldn't even finish it because it just made me feel sick.  Never mind, the dog happily finished it off, she loves scrambled egg.  

As well as the gut issues (my abdomen is so bloated I look like I'm pregnant - scary thought!), I've also had constant back pain for a couple of months, and feel knackered the entire time, from the minute i get out of bed.  Permanent headache too, which isn't something i usually suffer with.  Got lots of gripey pains in my gut and gurgling all the time - bit embarrassing as it can be quite loud, in fact it puts me in mind of the 1812 Overture!  When my GP listened to my stomach with her stethoscope, she said it sounded like a volcano erupting.  Even Betty is noticing, when she's sitting near me she keeps doing a double take, ears pricking up, her head whipping round suddenly and staring at my stomach, it is quite funny though.  Or it would be, if I felt well enough to laugh.

I can't remember what it's like to feel well, it seems to have become the norm to feel ill, and it's downright bloody horrible.  We're going away in a month and at this rate I'll be spending the week away in bed.

  1. Let's hope the blood test results come back quickly and show up a reason for you feeling so unwell. Not being able to eat anything without it upsetting you is certainly not right.
    Wordpress has fewer issues I think with this kind of commenting they seem to be able to put it straight into Spam for me to view and delete. Though any stuff I get is only the computer generated sort rather than a real person's nasty comment. But then Wordpress is not as easy to navigate as Blogger and there is the advertising issue with them, so I wouldn't advise swapping. Anyway it is lovely to hear from you - maybe the holiday away will do you good and lift your spirits. x

  2. I really hope you get sorted and that the blood tests can identify the problem. A few years ago when I was still at work (in a hospital) I picked up a nasty bug - went on for 3 weeks - turned out I'd picked up a bug via a parasite which caused me to have cryptosporidiosis - which was awful - and I had many of your symptoms. It's awful to feel unwell all the time and can really affect your mental health too. I hope you get some answers.

  4. I do hope the blood tests find the problem so you can enjoy everything again. It must be so frustrating not know why you are feeling so grotty.

  6. Hope it’s nothing too bad, pancreatic problems can cause bloating, back pain and nausea. Always best to find out soon as possible to get better. Poor you.

    1. Yes - never thought of an ulcer - I know they can make you feel absolutely awful for months on end - but with treatment do get better.
