Heinal Hernia (sp?) Anyone??

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone-

I've been off line for about 5 months or so... Gess I didn't realize how much

I miss the support from everyone. I haven't been doing so well. I was nauseous

for almost 2 months and my Rheumy and my PCP couldn't figure out what the

problem was so I got referred to a gastrointestinal Dr., It took me about a

month to finally get an appointment (HMO, you gotta love them) anyway He did

some test and I found out I have a Heinal Hernia (the intestines push up into

the diaphram). Explains why my appetite is non existent and why I feel bloated

all the time. He gave me a medication that was suppose to help out, but of

course it isn't, I think the name is Reglan? So now he prescribed Compusine

(sp?). I haven't tryed it yet but I was wondering if anyone out there has a

Heinal Hernia & if so what do you do for it???

The Doc also said that I have Gall Stones, just throw everything at me, but he

doesn't seem to think that that has anything to do with my nausea. I guess

until the Gall Stones start to cause a problem he just wants to leave them

alone.

Anyway, I appreciate any information that anyone has.

It's good to be back.

Love and Friendship always,
