C.,

Yes, you can get a cuff at just about any pharmacy...so do that asap, so you can keep an eye on things...

As far as other meds, check in with the GERD forum, as they would have more info on that subject for you.

Keep using your coping skills and anxiety management exercises. They can reduce you symptoms and BP if done regularly.

one last question please

I had a pair of scales for about 7 months and they kept going odd so bought new pair same model
I didnt throw old pair away
new pair says I am 15st 10
old pair says 15 7 1/2

I am losing weight as can see it only my baggy clothes,. I have either lost 4lb if new scales are right or 7lb if old scales are right in a week which isnt good. I can see weight falling off me and am not imagining and eating as normal

which would you think would be the most accuarate

thanks

Craig,

I think it would be most acurate to be weighed by your doctor, and let them do a body composition work-up also, to determine your fat to muscle ratio.

You can have it monitored in this way, and see if things are staying stable, or not.

I hope that your stomach is feeling better...glad to hear to hear that you are eating normally!

JUST keeps on giving
was gonna start a new post as I dont want to appear an attention seeker/drama queen which I am not

woke up in agony, hurt going to bathroom, pain in both kidneys all day and the urge to vomit again]

doctor still says its wasting. I say she is wrong

its wearing me out
Posted 3/30/2014 2:08 AM (GMT 0)
...wait...your doctor does agree that it is wasting? Or did I read that wrong? I though you had previously said that your doc did not see evidence of wasting.

If you are having lower back/kidney pain, and pain with urination...you should be seen as you could be dealing with a UTI or bladder/kidney infection/kidney stones.

I am sorry that you still don't feel well...please go in if your urinary symptoms persist!

Sorry typo. The doctor doesn't

I can't get in till Wednesday, it's not an emergency is it

Just woke up feeling sick can't handle much more
Posted 3/30/2014 3:14 PM (GMT 0)
If you have a fever, or persistent pain in your kidneys/when urinating...then yes, you should go into urgent care, as it could be an infection.

If you are not feverish, and the other symptoms have subsided, then you can watch and wait...

I am sorry that you are still unwell. Try and do two session of 15 minutes each of a coping skill today if you feel you can.

Skeletal muscle wasting -- Muscle wasting is a hallmark of cachexia and occurs along with loss of fat. It can also be fairly insidious. In people who are overweight at the time of their diagnosis, significant loss of muscle mass can occur without an obvious outward appearance of weight loss.


This is what I'm.certain I've got
Surely doctor should know??
Posted 4/1/2014 4:21 PM (GMT 0)
Yes, would think that with all of the tests and appointments you have done and gone to, that it would have been found.

So, that  leads you to one of two conclusions...

...either your doctor is missing something, and you need to seek a specialist

...or your anxiety is causing somatization, and your symptoms are not indicative of anthing more than the anxiety issue.

In either case, you are going to need to take a pro-active route.

You will need to find and pursue a specialist for a full evalutation(s) until you receive your diagnoses, or you will need to get into treatment for the health related anxiety.

Either way...this requires your motivation and effort, or you are just going to keep spinning your wheels.

I do not mean to sound harsh...but I do want to see you get better in one sense or the other, because we can't help you beyond the basic support here, and the next step must be yours.:)

You can do this,

S.C.

tried to have another endoscopy but only allowed once every.four years
800£ to go private
don't go out, can't even go out the bedroom. just feel sick. struggle to eat and drink
only peace is sleeping. can't even read or watch tv as feel that ill
doctor says Need to go for a walk
I can't even leave the house!!!
Posted 4/13/2014 1:12 PM (GMT 0)
craig what is the worst that can happen, if you feel like vomitting and being sick, maybe just allow yourself to be sick and it may give yourself some relief? Ive seen only a couple of your pics and definatly doesnt seem like wasting away, nothing wrong with losing weight as long as you stay in healthy range.

Hope you find your way through this, i do hope you will eventually feel better.
Posted 4/13/2014 8:08 PM (GMT 0)
to me that's the end
I've been feeling sick for years. if I'm finally sick that means it's serious/terminal
I just ate jacket potato and a drink and while eating thought was gonna Chuck up
afterwards I felt even worse
they won't do me an endoscopy again
this is unbearable. it's not normal to feel like this after bland meal
Posted 4/14/2014 4:51 AM (GMT 0)
CF.,

Sending my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry that you are feeling so unwell.

I wish I had something better to offer...but at least know that we care about you, and are wishing you wellness and peace.

thanks
it's not good
struggling to eat anything
feel nauseous all the time
this can't be right
going to doctors pointless
Posted 4/15/2014 7:35 PM (GMT 0)
I know it's wrong but can't you take yourself to hospital and see what they can do?

All the best
