Ok, so in the beggining of june i was having some stomach problems so i saw a gastro doctor. i went for visit and had ended up having an endoscopy and was dianosed with stomach ulcers. this doctor prescribed me medication which seemed to do nothing. when i went back for a follow up appointment i told him the medication was doing nothing and that i was still experiencing many symptoms and my stomach was now extremely bloated and distended and i was having sever heartburn. He didnt examine me and just kept asking if i wanted to change the medication, he then prescribed me another medication and told me i just needed to wait for this to get better, this all within a 5 minute office visit. And never scheduled me for a follow up appointment. I realized the guy was an idiot and never went back. I waited until last monday for it to get better when i decided that it wasnt and went to the emergency room, within an hour there they found i had an intestinal blockage and got me into surgery that night. it makes me angry that he could have found that out in june and this all could have been taken care of then and it would have been taken care of and i wouldnt have had to suffer for months, and i really feel like he didnt really care how i felt or what possible danger i was in. Is that grounds to sue him though

relief? He has now just since school started has been hospitalized for coaxsackie disease (5days) then gets a sinus infection on antibiotics, double ear infection, ON antibiotics, the stomach flu…….NOW EVEN THOUGH HE HAS HAD 3 DIFFERENT ANTIBIOTICS HE HAS A 102.2 fever…………………AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH is there any relief? Mind you a little back ground info on him………3 months in nicu, placental abruption, he has asthma, epilepsy, reflux, BAV, hearing problems (7 sets of tubes and after 3 months the 7th set is confirmed out as of FRI.) IGA deficiency, and a bunch of weird allergies. Out of all the doctors we see immunology, pulmonolgy, allergy, ENT, Gastro, Nuero, OT. everyone argues on what it is causing all the issues. Ent said it was food allergy had to be dairy and wheat. We pulled him off of dairy 6 weeks .no change. We pulled him off of wheat 6 weeks nothing (but a child who lost 5 lbs) Ent ran blood test stated first test was a false negative. Second test was positive. So gastro did an intestinal biopsy for Celiac disease, completely negative no allergy shown what so ever, checked the stomach lining no issue with dairy, just severe reflux which the child has had since day one………………I am so frustrated.NONE of the doctors agree on issue or treatment except IGA, SURGERIES MEDICINE ETC ETC…. the immunologist wants to do 24/7 round the clock antibiotics. Well here is where I stand on that. First off he has an allergy to penicillin as well as sulfa all subclasses antibiotics. So if the ent puts him on round the clock therapy would he not build up immunity to the antibiotic he is on (immunologist says no but I don’t see how it could be avoided) As well his allergies what if he gets sick and needs antibiotics and they don’t work because he is on one 24/7 due to allergies to two subclasses? immunology says we would have to cross that bridge then! OK? I don’t want to it scares me. Isn’t it doctors who tell us too many times patients want antibiotics and they don’t prescribe often because of immunity tolerance over use blah blah blah ? I am going nuts. I have a son who doesn’t no why he always feels bad, why he cant go to school with a fever (since it is so common for him) why he see’ s so many docs. All the needles. All the hospitals. I want to help him so bad he wants a normal childhood. No matter how hard we try to make it just like everyone else he realizes he is different. He doesn’t like it. I can not count how many nights I have cried over not being able to help him. Any advice would be greatly appreciated any suggestions……..HOME SCHOOLING ISN’T AN OPTION DELAYS AND L?D wont allow it.
Appreciate the advice in regards to moving but we are already in Florida now and it seems he has been sicker. How much warmer can you get? lol

It makes me want to throw up my whole gastro-intestinal tract. I am not sure if the wording or orginization is what I lack when it comes to dealing with people? Do I have to impress people to keep their attention? Do I have to be a radiant money vending planet to just get people to say hi back? That is hard to do because it is not what I am. Am I doomed to forever walk among the forgotten shadows?
Would you just laugh?

My 4 month old son got out of the hospital on Friday after having gastro-intestinal surgery, because his intestines were wrapped around each other. I was explaining it to Brayden’s aunt (his fathers side, of course), and she replied “That happens to all baby’s, I had tons of minor surgery’s and I’m fine.”
I was in shock. My boy had a major surgery, if the problem wasn’t caught, it could have been extremely fatal, he has 32 stitches, was in surgery for four hours, while they took out his appendix and realigned his intestines.
I honestly didn’t even waste my breath. I could’ve argued with her, instead I just said “I’m just glad he’s okay…” because I was in no mood to argue with her, as I had went off on Brayden’s daddy 10 minutes before.
How would you have handled the situation?
I had this nasty fever and aslo candida at the same time, garlic its on my diet so I used garlic as a really effective weapon. I took some garlic put it in pot and boil it with water than I drink the thing for a few days. since the first time temperature went down fast and I healed fast, also my doctor made me do bllod test that resulted very good. But I have this gastric problem now have to go too much often a the bathroom and when I feel up with breath like a ball fish my stomach and stuff hurts. I googled if garlic could give illness so I found out that can give gastro intestinal sickness but also Botulism. But its not yet clear to me if raw fresh garlic just like that natural not conserved etc just simple garlic, I clean it cut and boil it drink it not store it at all, can it give me botulism, I should be dead already as it says on the web but since Im not feeling good of stomach and I do this thing with the garlic am I in danger.
