Q: Stomach pain
asked by: fullofanger on October 3rd, 2009

This is my first time on this forum. I am 28 living with Lupus SLE for 5 years. I am having a very hard time with it. This year has been the worst so far, I have been in and out of the hospital. This past Feb I had a Nissan Fundoplication surgery for my heart burn. Since Feb I have lost 60 pounds. I have extremely bad stomach pains, diarrhea, dizziness. In the last few day I have not been able to eat. I was at the Gastrointestinal doctor last week, with a list of my complaints. I was admitted to the hospital, do to the weight loss and not being able to eat. They did an ultrasound on every organ I have, and of course they found nothing. I was not surprised by this, they never find anything. The next day in the hospital they did a upper endoscopy and again they found nothing. I am not sure what to do at this point? The battle is getting bigger than the fight. I am getting sick of hearing suck it up and deal with it. I am not sure why I go to the Doctor any more, they never do anything except make me feel worst for not finding anything. Does anyone else have the same problem with their stomach, or am I the only one?

Stomach Pain
I feel your pain. I too have been dealing with GI problems and the doctors can't find anything. The stomach pains are so bad sometimes that I'm scared to eat. I can't work and am afraid to go out because I never know when an attack will come on. I don't know what to do anymore. If you find anything out please post it, anything will be helpful. I wish you luck and I hope you feel better soon.
