I'm sick - Page 2

It's easy to walk into the doctor, getcha co pay out of the way and get diagnosed. I'd rather get meds right away then have to endure pain, and any secondary illness that can occur.

I think I see why you say what you do. My life is controlled mostly by my parents, and I am not someone with a lot of money floating around. It's not as easy for me to say I can do that.

Psshht. I literally have no money at all, I live with my parents and owe them a good large sum of money yet I'm sitting in the hospital racking up a bill the size of Maryland. Just as my grandmom always tells my mom; "It's not about the money, it's about whether you will live to see tomorrow or not". If I've been throwing up stomach acid for an extended amount of time, I think I'd be more worried about the condition of my throat and stomach instead of how much money it's going to cost.

There are more precious things in life than money.

That's not what I meant by the money thing. It's not whether or not it'll cost a lot of money. I thought he was saying "if you have money, you can go to a doctor quickly." I don't have money, so I'll have to wait, right? Or at least the doctor I go to I know I have to wait, I don't know any other options.

If you already have something scheduled soon, then that's fine

My appointment is on Thursday.

**rushyrulz** · 02-15-2011, 11:56 AM

Did you perhaps eat a red skittle?

PS eat something.

I have no advice for you except to go see a doctor immediately.

**rushyrulz** · 02-15-2011, 12:17 PM

If it is in fact blood, 9 times out of 10 you've got a stomach ulcer.

That sounds likely.

DotKritic · 02-15-2011, 01:34 PM

And you're still here. Coughing up blood, you shouldn't be waiting until Thursday.

**Reincarnate** · 02-15-2011, 02:18 PM

Question: Do you have health insurance?

Answer: Yes, but not a good one. I don't know what it covers, but yeah...

Sometimes waiting in the emergency room 4 hours makes me wish I could just walk in and copay ._.

**HoneyMelonCalibrator** · 02-15-2011, 03:01 PM

I'm in no position to offer any medical advice other than go see a doctor as soon as possible. Get well soon, bro~

Sometimes when I have bone marrow cancer I want my bill to be $0 instead of $a gazillion

I threw up some bile and I saw some red spot inside of the bile. Is that blood or is it possible it's something else?

Went to the doctor today. I was prescribed Omeprazole rather than Ranitidine. However, both are OTC strength, and Omeprazole wasn't covered by my insurance, and I wasn't allowed to take the 30 mg, so I have 20 mg instead. However, some instances make me believe I have something other than GERD, but I don't know for sure. I am going to get an ultra sound done to check my gall bladder though.

UPDATE: I've had my ultrasound and the doctor did not find anything wrong with my Kidney, Pancreas, Liver, or Gallbladder. Typically this would sound like good news, but I still don't know what's causing the symptoms. Right now I haven't been experiencing the symptoms for 2 weeks. They are on and off, and I probably will be experiencing them again in about another 2 to 6 weeks. We'll see. Anyone have any ideas?
