Harsha has said I'm having the endoscopy first thing in the morning. Said he'll be back at 6am, long hours these doctors work.... he's very nice & I feel very comforted by his approach.

Pam; this is unreal. All this vomiting. It appears they are not sure why all the "gut" pain either. I would think the straining alone of vomiting has added to the pain. With the rise and fall of the abdomen hurling out everything and anything including blood. From what you mention, it seems like the incision for the spinal fusion was thru your abdominal area rather than the backside.
I have been dealing with a lot of painful issues. Haven't been able to post as often on NT.
I believed I mentioned my having a Colonoscopy on Thursday Oct. 19th. Am really dreading the prep; but it's needs to be done.
Providing the outcome of the Colonoscopy, I am seriously thinking about getting detox of all opioids and Valium in a hospital environment. Not sure how I will be dealing with the pain issues; but the several years of opioid meds/constipation have just about wrecked my body causing more pain than why they were prescribed. My daughter is looking into arranging the detox, etc.
Pray your doctors will soon be able to get to the bottom of all these problems and soon be back home.
