What sickness do I have?

Question

Please help me. I have been to so many doctors. Any suggestion I will look into.

I don't like to eat because it makes my stomach hurt. I mean it is bearable but I would rather not go through it. When I do eat I get this pain in what feels like is right underneath my rib cage and I usually feel like throwing up afterward but I hardly ever do. I also have back pain that can be pretty bad. Whenever I eat it seems like it comes right out about an hour later. Also I am freezing cold all the time. My memory had gone bad and a doctor told me I was on the verge of type 2 diabetes although I am not obese. I am normal weight.

Nothing has shown up on any CAT scans except for a few swollen lymphnodes (spelling?) and a few small cysts on my right ovary. Please if you have any idea what this is I would appreciate your thoughts.

Answer 1

In my opinion, it sounds like a form of pancreaitis. This will make you quite ill and cause pain and nausea. Also it will effect your blood sugar levels. It can be acute or chronic. It can be a very serious situation though. You need to go back to the doctor and tell them again and do not stop until you get them to find the culprit to this problem. It would cause pain in that spot but it can be one of many things. Get back to the dr now and go to a specialist if you have to. If your General Practicianer is not taking care of this, you can go to an internal medicine specialist which will do a lot more tests.

gallbladder disease!!!

If you have a gallstone, every time you eat your gallbladder goes to do what it is supposed to, squirt out bile to neutrilize and digest whatever you just ate. Your gallbladder starts pumping and this stone is getting in the way and causing it to spasm causing pain. It will do this most every time you eat. Fatty foods, anything with seeds, spicy foods, etc... I cant believe your doctor didnt automatically think of this! This can cause acute pancreatitis as well... I would suggest bringing this up to your doctor and dont take NO for an answer or seek another doctor.

This happened to me for over 2 years and they kept doing ultrasounds on my gallbladder and it always came back clear. Finally after about 30 times of going to the doctor and I kept complaining of this, they sent me to nuclear medicine and had this dye test done where they put dye in and did a scan for 1 hour... it showed that my gallbladder was SLIGHTLY slow. ONE time I had blood work done and my liver enzymes were elevated which is an indication of gallstones... and this is one out 20 at the least. Finally after the nuclear medicine test, the doc seen it was slow, he thought this was it all along and sent me for surgery. It ended up I had very tiny gallstone, but I had a cyst at the opening of my gallbladder that was blocking the opening doing essentially the same thing a gallstone would do.

Back pain is another common sign of gallbladder disease. Insist they do an ultrasound. There is no reason for you to live like that. And as far as the diabetes goes, you dont have to be obese to have diabetes. My guess is that is something completely unrelated. Good luck!

i have to say that i have been through it before when i was younger (still today have it) im not REALLY sure but you might have RSD or fibromyalgia....its a very painfull thing that happens out of no where(if doctors have called you crazy for this than they are wrong) if i can rember right the symptoms for fibromyalgia is" The variety and severity of symptoms caused by fibromyalgia vary from person to person. Widespread, chronic pain-often described as deep or burning-is the most common symptom. This pain is more common in the body, hips, and shoulders, and it is rare in the hands and feet. It usually develops gradually and can interfere with even simple daily activities." that was off WebMD.... and for rsd its the same but a little differnt...dont be scared i would say start with a pain mangetment doctor and move up .... feel free to e-mail me or IM me if you have any other question hope you find out what's wrong

Answer 4

You could have a tumor pushing against the stomach that is causing severe irritation when you are filling your stomach with food. When you eat, your stomach stretches but if there is something in the way, it is going to hurt. This irritation could be convincing your body to expel whatever is in your stomach because of the constant pain. Your being cold all the time could be related to the fact that you are not getting the appropriate nutrients your body needs to have sufficient and ample blood flow/supply. You could also just have poor circulation. I'd get another scan and a second opinion from another doctor and inquire about a tumor that could be growing.

Answer 5

Hi, you need to get a blood test for Coeliacs disease which may be what is causing the pain after eating. Do not go off any food prior to the test or you will muck up the results. Have a look on the web for more info - I recommend the UK Coeliacs society. This disease has side effects such as the ones you have stated because your body is not absorbing nutrients and vitamins. If you do have it then you have to avoid gluten probably soy and dairy is recommended. You will need to find a doctor that is a qualified nutritionist to help you get better, too.

Answer 6

You're freezing because you're not eating enough. Food = calories, calories = energy, which can be converted to heat or motion, or stored, by your body.

Does this happen with everything you eat? Can you drink water without this happening? Can you consume a nutrient balanced meal replacement shake, like 'ensure' or 'boost'? That's what they give patients at the hospital that need to bulk up.

Aim for proteins, and cut out the sugars and artificial sweetners... my grandma's an underweight diabetic - it's not unheard of, but crossing the verge might be avoidable.

Answer 7

These severe pains located on the upper quadrant or epigastric area of the abdomen might be due to inflammation of the gallbladder ( Cholecystitis) or gallstones (Cholelithiasis) or Acute Pancreatitis esp when the pains radiate to the back and after eating a fatty diet. or even GERD or IBS. or gastic ulcer or diverticulosis, or gastritis.

In Acute Pancreatitis, the body is unable to digest fats. There is diminished production of pancreatic enzymes to help in the digestion of fats.

It could be referred pain from rupture of ovarian cyst.

To play safe, better be seen by a gastroenterologist.

Your problem for being cold might be due to hypothyroid; hypoglycemia or generalized poor circulation. or even Anemia either Iron or other mineral deficiency such as copper, magnesium or zinc. You might need to correct your diet to afford proper nutrition to your body.

Answer 8

Girl i send my best wishes to you! God bless you! This is what i think that it would possible be. Mini gits, Because if your throwing up and your back hurts That's dead on what that is.

Answer 10

It could be cholecystitis, pancreatitis or there could be a tumor somewhere or near the stomach.
The referred back pain, nausea/vomiting could be cholecystitis or pancreatitis.
