Well I'm new here, and I'm not sure if anyone really uses these forums anymore but I am desperate.
Two years ago I visited a camp during the summer for a week, but I was sick the entire time due to nerves. Six months later, when I went back I was sick again. I stayed sick for a few weeks after that but it went away. Six months later I was so excited to go, but because I was in so much pain I was unable to. I went to the doctor where they told me I had acid reflux, and finally after 4 different antacids she diagnosed me with anxiety, then sending me to a therapist where she prescribed me Visatril and Lexapro. Neither help with my stomach.
For the past week I have been kinda stressed, but that's nothing unusual. There is not a single second of the day where I am not hurting or in discomfort. My symptoms started out as a burning sensation in my stomach, but now has changed to being more of cramps and aching. I feel nauseated ALL OF THE TIME. Sometimes I'll be sitting there in class, and I have to use the restroom right then but unfortunately I'm not going to go at school, because the people here are extremely crude and aren't very understanding. My stomach also makes REALLY loud growling noises (kinda like when you're hungry but way worse.) and it's so embarrassing I get scared on the way to my last class where it always flares up. I've noticed that it always gets way worse after eating, and even just a sip of water makes me have to go to the restroom.
I got fed up the other day, and went to the hospital. They drew blood (which gave me a serious panic attack, im an idiot), did a urine sample and a ultrasound. They found nothing. The doctor was rude and said "Well you're not dying, so we have to discharge you." and I spoke up and said "what about
the pain? I can't even sit in school." And he looked at me and said "I dont know. Take tylenol."
I am not sure what else to do, but I do not want to live this way. I'm always aching, and it's ruining my life. Any advice? I can't even go to school, and my family thinks I'm faking..
What does it sound like to you? Anxiety? Acid reflux? IBS? Ulcers? Any advice is better than none.
