Re: Wife just got of the hopsital

[Guest guest]

Del and I had time to talk about the weekend and discuss what

might have brought on the attack. We think we did have some

warning signs.

While this may be a little unpleasant, Del has two warning signs

belching, smells like rotten eggs, and gas. She had meds, that

she did take, but she did not drastically change her diet. Does

anyone else get any warning signs that an attack is coming. And

what do you do or change?

Thanks

Hi Bob,

I'm sorry Del had to go through this. The ride home sounds

miserable, but I can understand why you did it that way.

It's often hard for me to anticipate a bad attack, I've only had

about five. It usually starts as abdominal pain, immediately

going to the back, and I do experience the belching beforehand,

now that you mention it. It hits me hard and fast, and I know it's

coming if I take a Percocet and it doesn't stop the pain. Nearly all

of my attacks have happend late in the day or early evening, and

do not seem to have any relationship to what I have eaten

beforehand. I eat totally low fat, so it would be hard to tell what

set it off.

What I change is that I immediately go to clear liquids only, and

go to bed, ride it out, and stay there until it's over. I have been

fortunate enough to stay away from the ER for all but one of

these attacks.

Hope this helps,

Heidi

What do you take on a regular basis for pain? How many do you take

a day? I need info like this for my doctor as to what everyone in the group

takes on a regular basis. Thank you from Canada
