Yesterday I asked some friends to pray for me over at facebook, because I was having some stomach troubles. Well this morning I think my troubles may be worse than I thought. Yesterday I woke up with severe cramps and bowel pains that lasted about 20 minutes until I had a movement. The pain went away, but I was sweating bullets and the whole experience was extremely painful.
Then about 45 minutes later it all happened again, but this time all that came out was bile. I again felt better afterwards, and then every 45 minutes through the day I had the same troubles. Needless to say I stopped eating and only drank a few fluids.
By evening the pain was subsiding and I thought that I would make it to work today with this whole incident being nothing more than something I ate, but alas it was not to be.
I woke up this morning about 4:30 with the same pain, but not nearly as bad as the first time yesterday morning. Like then I went to the restroom, but this time along with the bile was blood. I will not lie, I am a bit afraid. I will go see my Dr as soon as I can this morning.
Because some will ask, I still have my appendix, I had a Colonoscopy about 5 years ago, I had my prostate checked and I am on medication for a swollen prostate but it's under control. I'm not running a fever, although yesterday morning when this first came on I was a bit feverish every time I did have to go which was about every 45 min as I said. When I did go nothing but bile was the result. This morning is the first time I had blood.
There is no history of colon cancer in the family, so I'm sure it's nothing to serious, but as I said, I am a bit afraid. Other than my skeletal system, where I have back and nerve pain I suffer as an ongoing problem from a motorcycle wreck and a car accident which landed my wife in a wheelchair, I am pretty much a picture of health.
As anyone who knows me will tell you I never ever get sick. I am one of those freaks who gets over a 24 hour bug in an hour, and the flue that usually lasts others a week I am over in less than a day. You can count the days I have missed work in the last 20 years due to illness on one hand.
Well, again, I ask for your prayers and please keep my wife in them too, as I think this worries her more than it does me. I think I'll read some more of the book of Job. Just seems appropriate somehow.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever. (Psalm 23)
Your doc might suggest an ultrasound of the gallbladder....other than the blood, your symptoms sound very familiar.
Praying for you, OneVike.
Prayers being said, let us know how you are doing.
Healing prayers humbly offered up for you, Preacher and my dear friend.
May Mrs. OV be comforted as well. In the Holy Name of Jesus, Amen.
Prayers up!
I have diverticulitis. Have “attacks” occasionally.
Take care! See the doc!
You may very well have gallstone(s). This is not something to avoid seeing the doctor over, as if a stone blocks a duct, your gall bladder could go bad.
See an internist M.D. as soon as possible, and describe what you wrote here.
Healing prayers for you, OneVike
Don’t fool around with this. Go to the doctor today.
Prayers up.
If it’s not one darn thing, it’s two darn things, as a clever FReeper once said.
Prayers up, good luck at the doctor!
Sounds like something bacterial.
I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Prayers up. Please keep us posted.
I am praying for you. I know it is frightening when you have these kinds of symptoms. God bless you.
