Q: Constant pain and Anemia

I have had Reflux pretty much my whole life. When I was 16 I started treatment for an ulcer. The pain stopped after almost a year of treatment and I stopped medication. I lost my health insurance when I was 16 and am 22 now and still do not have medical.

A couple years ago the Reflux issues came back very strong and have seemed unstoppable even against antiacids. I'm not a heavy drinker but do drink occasionally. After a very drunken night I woke up and felt something strange about my stomach. It was like there was a bulge hanging from my stomach and sometimes I can even feel it by touching the top of my stomach. I have strange bruising all over my legs and feel constantly fatigued. My Stomach makes extremely loud noises and it is impossible to escape the pain at night. It appears as though I am becoming anemic.

Can anyone give me information on this or at least an idea of what might be going on?

It sounds like you may have quite a few separate issues going on. None of them sound good and really need to be seen by a doctor.

How serious they are is not something that can be answered without being able to examine you and run blood tests at the very least.

We aren't doctors either,

I would suggest though, that you might want to try and find a clinic that you could go to, one with a sliding scale fee set up and if your pain is so extreme that you can't sleep you just may need to go to the emergency room, especially with the bruising all over your legs and that bulge that you feel in your stomach.

Good luck
