The young doctor was very nice and very professional. Details were taken and, because I had been ill for so long - and also because it had begun in India - she referred me to the nearest hospital immediately.
I arrived there at about 2pm and was triaged within about half an hour. Details taken, tests done (bloods, ECG, chest X-ray, etc.) and, eventually an anti-emetic injection given with oral medication for follow-up. I finally left at about 7.30pm. No clear cause was found, but I was asked to return again tomorrow (Friday) for a follow-up.
People complain about the NHS and I'm sure the organisation is under-funded and over-subscribed. However, I was very impressed with the treatment I received and couldn't have hoped for better.

Couldn't agree more, Annie.
It is dangerous ground when unqualified people diagnose others - without even seeing them.
It always makes me wonder if these people will also take responsibility if something goes seriously wrong through not seeking proper help.

Re: Nausea and vomiting
Realist, I was very sick early this morning and brought up a lot of bile. sticky bile.......the pain is not as bad this morning. I had diarrhea, plenty of it and it seemed to have bile also......I did have toast and tea before bed, perhaps I ate too much toast but I seemed to be hungry for the first time in 3 days. But after I ate, I was feeling bloated and it was uncomfortable so I took a pantoloc and a sleeping pill and went to bed.
When I finished the diarrhea, the pain eased up. Perhaps it passed??
Only brought up once this morning and have had two cups of tea since and kept it down. Been up for three hours. I am getting hungry, but afraid to eat much as I don't want to be bloated like last night.
This has been going on with me, every so often (maybe every 3 or 4 weeks) for quite some time, and it usually lasts for 2 or 3 days. I have just recently being wondering why I am getting this episode of throwing up. This is the first time I have had such a pain in my side, just under my ribs. It is also tender there.
I have been researching the epsom salts and I am wondering if it is the one that we put in our bath when our muscles are hurting? I always have extra virgin olive oil on hand and that wouldn't be hard for me to drink a little shot because I like it.....but the epsom salts might be a problem to get down.
I am not even sure I know just what that epsom salts is. Is it SALT?
I have a friend going to the natural food store for me, later today. It is called Goodness Me Natural Food Mart.....
I am sure they will have the GrapeSeed Oil. She will also go to the pharmacy for the epsom salts, if you let me know if it is the one we take a bath with.......
I can't find anywhere, the dosage. I can see lots about it, but you have to order the book to get the dosage for the epsom salts and olive oil.....would you be able to give me a link which will tell me........
Again Realist, thank you so much.....I am feeling enccouraged. I have spent a lifetime being sick, I was beginning to think it was "normal" to feel bad every day...as there wasn't many days, I feel, what a person might consider to be a "good day"

Semi-colon you might be (like me) but when's the last time you had a colonoscopy?
I have had colon/bowel cancer. I have lost almost half of my large bowel. I don't have the bag, as the cancer was on the right hand side only.
I always got polups years ago. One time, the pain was so bad with the colonoscopy, that I told my doctor I was not ever going to do it again. 10 years later, I had two cancers in my bowel.....so, we do need to get that colonoscopy.
I can't do the test in the mail, it is not for people who have had bowel cancel.
thanks Ruthio

Re: Nausea and vomiting
PS: I have mesh holding my bowel together where it attaches to my small intestines. I also lost some of my small intestines. I had several incisional hernias and a strangulation of the bowel with the mesh.I was in hospital about a month ago, as I was so sick, but didn't have the pain in my side. They checked my mesh to make sure it wasn't strangulating again. It is fine (thank God)
I didn't have the pain in my side, so they didn't connect it to gall bladder maybe. They concentrated more on the bowel and the previous cancers........

I always ask for the legal limit and then some!
The postal (mail) screening test is suitable for everyone who possesses a working bowel!
You should consider being screened as long as you have a working bowel. Or even half one.
Edit: just seen your post above, maybe the screening doesn't apply to you, I dunno.
I always do every screening offered.
