I could really use some support. I am a 54 yr old mother, grandma & wife. I was diagnosed with IBS (but not treated with meds) about 30 years ago & fibromyalgia about 14 years ago. About 5-1/2 years ago I suddenly got really sick to my stomach and, with no warning. I was fine when I woke up, then suddenly started throwing up uncontrollably, noisily (which I’d never been), and violently. I ended up in the hospital overnight. They couldn’t say what caused it. Six months later I got these white polka dots on my feet and hands. 24 hours later I git sick again. This time I was hospitalized for 4 days. A colonoscopy found a few polyps that were removed. I was told I probably got this from the grandchildren. The doc said, “you know the anti-bacterial that says it kills 99.9% of germs? You have the .1%.”. 6 Months later I woke up fine, then an hour later started vomiting again. This last description is what has been happening for 5-1/2 years, every six months, up until this year. I went in around the usual 6 month timeframe, thought I had six more months to keep trying to find answers, but got sick again a month later. That was June & July this year. It happened again last Friday. I was released Saturday after 5:00 pm. I have all new docs. I’ve had a brain cat scan, a gastric emptying study, an abdominal ultrasound and countless blood/stool/urine tests and no answers yet. I still have a small bowel follow through this week and a follow up colonoscopy next week. The only out of the ordinary thing found was some nodules on my thyroid. All thyroid tests are normal. This is so hard on me & my family. I am desperate for even a suggestion of a direction to move in to find out how to stop this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
