THIS IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!

I'm at my wits end.

CONSTANT upper abdominal pressure and movement. Feels like a hamster running back and forth from left to right. Also feels like PopRocks candy popping away.

At first I thought it was gallbladder issues. So I did gallbladder flushes and milk thistle and other herbs for the liver/gallbladder.

Then I thought it was trapped gas. Tried charcoal and Gas-X.

Then it moved from right to the left side. So I was thinking parasites. Did a round of parasitic herbs and just finished 3 days of Albendazole.

It is getting worse and I fear an ER visit is going to have to happen. But I just know they will laugh at me when I tell them what I'm feeling.

Please, somebody, tell me they had this and had it this bad....and what the heck it is. It is seriously making me crazy. I can't tell if one of my organs is about to explode or I have a 67 foot tapeworm or 264 round worms...or a hamster really is running around in my upper belly.

HELP!!!!

I want to add...

This all started around last October with a little tickle on my upper right side. I had started methylfolate, methylB12 and P-5-P for a MTHFR defect, and I also started Cholestyramine around the same time.

I've since halted both to see if this will stop the abdominal stuff, but no such luck. Not sure if they are the cause, but stopping them didn't help.

I've tried colon cleanses and antifungals, too.

I can take a lot, but I can't take this.

i get something similar...i also have "lumps" with no explanation except "probably lymph nodes"

i have had 2 ct scans and some ultrasounds...they never find anything

sometimes it feels like i am carrying a full term baby

the movement was happening last night and i went to sleep thinking i must have a monster sized parasite in there...

who knows........another day(night )in the life of a lymie

ps-the tests are the kind they inject you with stuff so i have decided enough is enough...i dont mind ultrasounds but im not gonna let them put any more of that poison in me and then not get an answer

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feels exactly like a baby kicking!

I had a CT scan and ultrasound a year ago and it showed nothing.

i know...or rolling over...or moving down. what a wierd disease

i dont have a gallbladder or appendix...my liver tests are always fine...

someone on here passed a really big tapeworm once

You may want to see a NP - it does sound like it could be a rather large parasite.

It can take several rounds of parastie cleansing to get them all out.

Best of luck - hope you can both resolve this.

I'm really knew to all this so I don't know if this helps but I have the same symptoms and for me it is IBS. I take medication for it and it stops these symptoms.

what med do u take

i use dicyclomine for ibs cramping...but the thing we are talking about nhere just comes and goes---i dont think my med would help it

I had the exact same thing. I could have sworn that I had a baby kicking inside of me. It went away when I cleaned up my diet, started taking diflucan and took some good quality probiotics. I am attributing it to yeast. Not sure.

Parasites, toxins. Those are my first and second guesses. I would recommend a lyme literate traditional chinese medicine doctor.I have a great one here in VA near Leesburg if you want pm me.
