FIBRO & HPYLORI

Hello. I was diagnosed with fibro in 2001.in 2004 I woke up extremely sick thought I was catching the flu or was having a bad fibro day . Went to restroom to vomit and had what i thought was diarrhea. after passing out and waking up on the bathroom floor I realized that the toilet was full of blood I was bleeding internally. went to the ER found out I had an ulcer in my stomach that had exploded. doctor told me it was the worst he had ever seen and was afraid that I might not make it. they called my family in just in case. luckily they were able to go down my throat and burn the ulcer several times and stopped it from bleeding. H pylori is the virus that causes ulcers. that being said people can have the virus and not have any problems from ulcers. Different meds such as antibiotics and others like nexium kills the virus. The H pylori has nothing to do with fibro. H pylori is very common and lots of people have it and have no problems from it. Now that you know what's causing your pain THE Fibro you can start taking steps towards feeling better and this is a great place full of knowledgeable folks who are positive uplifting and willing to support you as you journey towards feeling better. Take care of yourself and hang in there. It gets better! !!
