Hi All,

I am so very disappointed and so very sick, I started feeling ill and naeusea more than normal two weeks agao and worked it way up to trowing up all mourning everyday.

Anyway saw llMD, New something else was up and they found erosive gastritis and swolen lyphm nodes in my gut, but he said that the lymph nodes were swollen from the stomach not a stomach infection, on my ct scan, anyway he gave me a bunch of pills to take and i am still very sick, also had to stop lyme meds, has anyone had this problem before and how long did it take to get better.

Sorry you are feeling so rough!!!

I can't help, but can co-miserate somewhat.... I'm having horrible GI problems right now (nausea, vomiting, horrible diarrhea, abdominal pain). We're testing me for C Diff -- if that's negative, who knows what else it might be....

In any case, I think it is most important to take care of the gut right now, as it can lead to additional systemic illnesses untreated. Have you been tested for H Pylori? It is the bacterium associated with stomach ulcers -- treatment for it is abx -- specific ones....

Going threw this myself. gotta say its miserable.
But my stomach was a real trooper. held out for almost 3 years of treatment. The final blow was the babs treatment towards the end.

I am on prilosec,carafate,slippery elm,ulcer diet & occational promethazine for nausea. What ended up helping the most for me was low dose doxepin.

Here a link that helped me alot:

I am now about 50% better at times

I hope you can feel better soon. [group hug]

This is not medical advice,just my personal opinion
