For a few months I have had pains, I have posted on here before regarding information on it and have gone to doctor since, and this is an updated issue on what it could be.
What I’m posting this about:
Since late July, a week or so after July 17th, shortly after getting the Depo Provera shot; I started having pains in my stomach area up into my esophagus. For a month or so, more or less the pain continued showing up from everyday once to a few times, to a few times a week. Then in middle to late August it hurt really badly for a while, about up to 3-4 hours to the point that I cried, along the bottom left inside area of my ribs to the v shape. The first appointment the doctor did nothing and the pain continued. After that day it hurt really bad the pain wasn't as bad, it shows up now and then but now it's harder to eat. Its either I have to eat stuff that’s smaller a lot slower, or I just have to eat as fast as I can. After I eat, though, is when it tends to get worse. It makes my stomach burn to the point that I feel like I have a fever through my body and makes it hard to concentrate. The second time I went to the doctor she sent me for an Ultrasound of the area, along with a H. Polori. bacterial test, both of which came out negative for anything wrong except the ultrasound, which even then wasn’t anything really important.
In the ultrasound it showed that I have mild liver inflation, size 15.3 Cm. I'm 110lbs now, 5 feet 6 inches. (When I started the Depo Provera shot on July 17th I weighed 108lbs, between then and early September I gained 10 lbs and went up to 118lbs. I ate just like I normally did before I got the shot, and after that I went down to 114lbs, and now I’m down to 110lbs again, I checked the other day)
Also, there are times that I get this nasty taste from the back of my throat. It can show up at any time but lately has been getting worse. I will wake up with it in my mouth, and I’m telling you it's not normal bad breath...it's disgusting. It'll get worse after I eat, when I exercise, etc. The doctor gave me Samples of some Prilosect OTC to last for about a week or two to try and see if it would help, but so far it hasn’t done anything except make the nasty taste more often and worse.
Another thing is that it gets a lot worse when I exercise so I basically just stopped exercising at all the past few months cause afterward I almost throw up or I just feel so sick or bad.. Lately my throat has been starting to hurt, for the past week to the point where it’s getting hard to swallow sometimes or I gag for no reason other than feeling like there’s a lump in my throat and I try and get it out, like getting food stuck in your throat. Then there my Lymph Nodes or whatever they are, I’ve noticed them for well ever since before I got the shot, but ever since then it’s even more noticeable. They’ve been swollen for months on end, rarely going down but they move too when they get bigger cause sometimes they’re more out in my throat because they’re bigger than normal. (Normal is nickel-quarter sized) But have been swollen for at least a few months, I’ve been checking off an on for about 4 months or more.
Then there’s the times where I generally just don’t feel good, my nose will get stuffed up and make it kind of hard to breath, my throat hurts, I’m exhausted to the point where I feel like I can’t hardly move if at all, like I have no energy at times. Then there are the times where I just get pains, it’s almost everyday. This is around my liver and my stomach area (left side bottom of ribs to inside V shape, then my liver a little higher on right inside V shape.)
The doctor or specialist, GI, sent me for blood tests to check for Lipase and amylase or something like that, but both came out negative. She also checked to see if I had some kind of disease that could cause all kinds of problems (Chrons I think, something like that), but it all came out normal.
I’m worried because it gets so bad all I can do is sit there and cry it hurts so bad, but it’s not only because it hurts. It’s because of everything making me generally feel sick, like I have the flu or fever. It makes me gassy and I have to burp, making it so that if I don’t it comes out the other way, which is…yeah… It also makes it so that if I eat or drink anything during the time I gag it back up or it gets stuck in my throat. Like yesterday when I got home I felt so bad I almost collapsed and had to sit on the couch and all I could do is cry and hope that I would feel better soon.
Anyone have any idea of what’s going on, please someone help I really want this better.
