Been sick for too long

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have been throwing up everyday for the past two years. They HAVE tried to diagnose me with these GERD, gastritis, slowing, etc etc....

But NO meds have worked there either.

I have lost 150 lbs in the last two years (yes, very drastic weight loss, I know). I had 16 different DR appointments last month. I've had the GIs , and even the one where you drink the "glue-like" substance, and they X Ray the entire process. Nerve tests, blood work(Egh, the BLOOD WORK I've had), x-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, stress test, venous, echo, EKGs, EEGs, and NOTHING! I know I'm not stating all the tests I've had...

Oh, blood was several DIFFERENT types as well.

Now, I can hold one thing down......sometimes I get lucky(3 out of 8 times)....a lunchable. Or random junk food....but mostly I will STILL throw this up!

I'm getting depressed watching people enjoy their meals.....it truly does sadden me.

    Hi there it's not nice having undiagnosed conditions as I know myself. so I'm not trying to suggest this isn't a real problem for you. But I was wondering if you being sick May have started off as a physical problem e.g. tummy bug or something that has solved its self. but you actually then started to expect to be sick after eating so you get yourself so worked up and anxious that you actually make yourself sick. And as you say you normally get away with small bits of junk food it could be that you don't think to much about eating them so don't get worked up. Hope you feel better soon

    I can't believe the tests don't show anything!  Are you pregnant? Tumor?  Have you seen a GI doctor? Is it your medication? Or it could be psychological!  Try eating dry toast, rice, crackers or drink ginger ale.
