Thanks Karen for sharing that. I did not know that. I will be taking care of it soon. In bed today til I work at 4 so I am get enough rest for the weekend. I am trying to take it easy and when the pain is at its worse I am sitting. The bloating is up and down. Its never been like that before. Usually if I am bloated it lasts the entire day this is one hour I am huge and the next back to normal. Its very different then my typical bloating and pain.

Keri I had the same symptoms, and they said it wasn't appendicitis as the pain calmed down, my temperature came down and the vomiting stopped. I get flare ups when I work out too hard though, and my GP refuses to send me back to my gynae. This is the GP who thinks periods have no effect on endo.
Really hope you're ok and have a great weekend in NY but pls see your doc after the weekend, you've had a rough year and this is something they can catch before it develops further!

you know what really P*sses me off! When i wake up first thing in the morning before I've eaten anything and my belly is already bloated and angry and I can barely fit my baggy pants. I get the bloat at the end of the day of being on my feet and eating badly but first thing in the morning your supposed to start fresh! ugh...

I put a call in today she has not yet got back with me. Last night was hard prob all the walking in the city did not help. I came home from work yesterday laid on heating pad and have not got up much today. Tuesday is my lazy recoup day. I know she will prob call and have me come in this week. It is swelly and I get this twitches of pain every so often that make me want to double over. I listened to my body on the trip when I got into the city I laid around the pool for long time then headed out and rested more after we walked the bridge. It was a leisure trip in NYC if you can imagine that LOL. Lots of down time but still a ton of fun. I was in bed saturday night about 8:30 the pain had gotten pretty bad that we took a taxi back to the hotel and I popped the ty pm early. Last night it all caught up to me my lower back feels like someone has been hitting me for days. The bloat was horrible but went down some. I figure I will lay here till I get Jacob at run club then come back and lay down again. I am not taking a demerol although I prob could with the way I feel. I will prob take a ty pm once Jacob is settled and homework is all done. It knocks me out!

I have been making the switch to eating healthier. Its a slow process though cause I like food! I am hoping that healthier eating will help prevent some of the bloating. At least that is the hope. The night before this early morning bloat I had homemade salsa for lunch and roasted chicken for dinner, but I had a white bun with it so I wonder if it was the white bread.

Its not my appendix. My doc is thinking the endo on my bowels is causing most of this. So I have started to take Bentyl. I had used this years ago when I was diagnosed with IBS but have not had any for a very long time since 08. I guess it controls IBS symptoms and relaxes and reduces cramping. So far not much has happend different but it is worth a try. I see my Obgyn early November so that is when we will discuss what is next with the endo on the bowels and bladder. I have pretty much been told that my docs around here will be unable to help with any removal from those organs but they are trying to make me as comfortable as they can. Bentyl seems to be a safe drug for me so I will try it a see what happens. I am on a very low dose as always. My bloating is down now but that is not to say later it will be like that. At this point its not day to day but hr to hr. Crossing my fingers this helps. I know it is frustrating for my docs too not to beable to help me. I see it in her eyes when she exams me they want me comfortable and all of them know how much it hurts me. I have a great team here but it is unfortuante that I will be doctor hunting again. My GP has a lead on a New York doc in Rochester but I am going to make a call to a specialist in Columbus that I met with last summer he was trained by Redwine but does not do bowel surgery he does however know a doc that wants to sit in on a surgery that does do bowel surgery I may be in his hands. I want a closer doc and Dr. Jones is only a 2 hr drive away. Not as close as my others but also not in NY. I will be waiting til after I hit my year mark since my last surgery all my docs here agree I need to wait a little and let my body have atleast 1 year before anyone dives back in there to start cutting me open. I agree as well I am looking at end of december so by the start of 2011 I will mostly likley have another surgery scheduled or sometime early spring:(

The majority of last night I was up with terrible cramping. Doc said to cut back on the typm so I do not create more issues 1 or 2 are fine but at this point they do not touch the cramps. I have the demerol as a back up but just do not want to deal with the side effects of it. I can tell today Im going to have to get some sleep soon or I could have a seizure day. If I can get a few hours in I think I will be fine. Thanks Karen

Blew up at work today so I am back to being prego is Bentyl suppose to do that too? LOL well yes one of the side effects is bloating so tell me again why am I even bothering? I swear meds blow my mind what I try to avoid always seems to be the very thing that happens to me. Im gonna stay on it for a bit and see what happens it is so painful right now tho I may just need that demerol. So glad for fall ladies I put on tights and a sweater dress today no one knew I looked pregnant under all the clothes:)
