GI bleeding.

[doll_parts85]

Monday night, I went to the ER b/c I was losing large amounts of dark red blood with black clots through my bum. They gave me an IV which seems to have stopped the bleeding. *crosses fingers* and a script for Prilosec otc (I told him it doesn't work for me, but he said thats all medicaid will cover so oh well.) The ER doctor thinks the blood is coming from my stomach but since I seemed stable after the IV and I really didn't want to be admitted, he discharged me with orders to follow up with my primary physican. My white blood count was high and sodium levels low but I wasn't anemic or anything. Now I have a referral to gastroenterology and have to collect some stool samples. I hope the gastro doctor is a women with small fingers.

So...yeah...an update for those of you who care and don't post on the other board. I'm not dead...yet. hehe

I thought this thread was going to be about the 1000's of gallons of blood lost by 1000's of US soldiers through the years...

Nah, just another Dolly thread

Darker blood is usually from higher up in the digestive track. How many times did this happen, and were the BMs all blood, a mix, or mostly.. well the usual?
I would deff follow up with the specialist, and maybe if prilosec doesn't work well for you (you said it doesn't work well: has this happened in the past?) you can ask her about maybe some kind of 4.00$ prescription. Alot of pharmacies have those types of programs for generics but I'm not sure about all of the types of stomach meds out there. Maybe protonix?!

I am on protonix now but it doesn't work. I was on Aciphex for a while and it helped loads but medicaid won't cover it anymore. So now I take the protonix and then pepcid twice a day and still have lots of reflux and tummy pain. May end up having another upper GI soon.

Some folks are squeamish of the human body and its (dis)function.

I'm shocked that this thread didn't do too well. It's classic DP.

That's why I left pre-med and went into computers. Less blood, better hours, and nobody asks me what they should do about their rashes and flatulence.
