Trauma

[cynni]

So yeah, went into the hospital on friday night with the stomach aches from hell. According to my social worker who I see since recently, I have a childhood trauma regarding hospitals, doctors, needles and dentists. So going to the hospital may be one of my worst nightmares, next to cancer that is

Yeah, so now you know how those stomach aches feel that I've been having since October/November, also because I took too much Ibuprofen. Often enough I felt like screaming and crying in bed 'cause it hurt so much, but I didn't want to wake everyone up so I disciplined myself. :\ But it hurts like HELL, and it just keeps hurting for hours and there's nothing you can do. I really did think I was gonna die, it hurt that much. x___x;; It would keep me up all night and I couldn't go to school the next day

Thank you so much!

Yeah I knew instantly I was having the same pains as you. I dont understand how you were able to keep up with it for so long! I now have the exact same medication as you have. The stomach aches are lessened somewhat (it still takes a few days to kick in fully) but I do suffer from the side effects like feeling dizzy and nauseas. The information stated that those also should go away within a short time.

Somehow when I knew I had the same thing as you, I felt reassured a bit. Because if you are much better now, and hopefully so will I in a few days :)

I have a high pain tolerance, maybe? :s I don't know.

But the pills are definitely working so I hope the both of us will be fine soon :D

I'm sorry to hear you suffered so much this weekend, both mentally and physically. I didn't know you had such a deep fear for hospitals and doctors. *hugs*
