For the past 8 or so months I've been dealing with constant nausea and I vomit every day. I've been through tons of testing on my stomach, and everything surrounding it. Everything is always "fine". My charts say I should be completely healthy other than a slightly elevated white blood cell count, but I can't keep much food down and I can't find a medicine that helps. I was diagnosed with chronic appendicitis and I had laparoscopic surgery to remove my appendix almost two weeks ago. My white blood cell count has gone down some but my doc says that it should have balanced out by now. I'm still sick, and now this doctor says that my problem must be outside of his field because all of the tests he ran came back normal and he doesn't have any other ideas on how to help me.
Growing up I was taught to trust my doctor, that they will fix me. I've been to tons and no one has been able to solve this. They keep giving up and sending me elsewhere, and now I'm not sure where to turn. I was being treated for a mood disorder last year, but then I let a less than helpful relative convince me that it was the pills that were making me sick. I quit taking my mood stabilizer, my antidepressant, and my anxiety med all at once without telling anyone because I thought that I knew best (I figured out that I really don't). Before I quit seeing my psychiatrist she was talking about how maybe my mental instabilities (for lack of a better word) could be linked to PTSD from prolonged exposure to high stress situations growing up.
Now that you've kind of got my back story does anyone have any input? I'm seeing the psychiatrist in a few weeks, I just want to know if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts... or anything. I just feel so alone in all of this
