I can't stop throwing up

[DarkHippie]

I seem to be throwing up 1-3 times a day. I'll be fine, then i will have this attack where my guts turn inside out. This has happened at work a few times, and not only is it embarrasing and unsanitary, but it is scaring the crap out of my students (developmentally challenged). My boss keeps sending me home, even though after the attack i am fine.

I am afraid that I am going to lose my job over this. I received a warning last week for taking off when i didnt have sick days. they sent me home today but it still counts, so i'll be getting another warning. 3 warnings and i am out.

i am also worried that this is something serious.

[Hottub]

Go to the Emergency Room. NOW!

[FUNKMAN]

check yourself before you wreck yourself

go to the doctor

[BoondockSaint]

I'd go see a doctor pretty fast.

[Team_Ramrod]

Do you have anything that covers a medical leave?

I know here you can take a medical leave of absence short term and if necessary take long term disability if your condition warrants. The down side is that it is at approximately 70% of your wage.

It sounds like it's worth taking some time and having it looked into.

Hope everything is okay.

[thejives]

Yeah. Hospital time.

Or you can change the name of your course to "Throwing Up 101"

[Bossanova]

How many days has this been going on?

Reguardless the answer go to the hospital

[Hottub]

Go to the Emergency Room. NOW!

In case you missed it the first time.
Don't mess around, Bud!

[chubbyknuckles]

There's seriously a ton of different thinngs, def go see a doc quick. Don't over panic though, it can be very simple stuff that just starts disagreeing with your body

[DarkHippie]

I feel fine now though, so i dont htink i need the ER. they take too long anyway. I will find a nice jewish doctor andsee what he says

[torker]

Walk it off, deek.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

fever and vomit, i would go to the doc, all major diseases have them as systptoms

but yet again, I am a hippocondriac

[PigShitIrish]

Walk it off, deek.

I know it's stupid, but I literally just spit water all over my monitor.

[jauble]

You didn't eat these did you?

im saying that in the nicest way possible of course, only cause i like you.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

DAMN YOU!!!

[Marc with a c]

why don't you just stop throwing up?

[keithy_19]

Perhaps if you stopped staring at fat girls cankles you wouldn't throw up so much.

But yeah, a hospital seems like a good idea.

[Marc with a c]

i have hippie in the death pool. he can go to the hospital in january. let him be for a couple more weeks.

[Gvac]

Seriously, bro...don't fuck around.

It could just be a virus, but it might be something serious.

[ralphbxny]

Go To The Hospital!!

[Chris from TX]

Besides the stomach, the churned up stomach acid has gotta be hurting your esophagus and eating away at your enamel. Emergency rooms suck, but you will get a little peace of mind.

[torker]

You are not legend.

[OneEyeJack]

I bet your clothes are fitting you better now..

[SatCam]

I can't stop throwing up

YES YOU CAN! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF



that or go to a doctor

[Gvac]

Do you have cramps in your solar plexus and a sharp stabbing pain in your ribs?

That's what I had when I had my gall bladder attack.

[Devo37]

maybe you're allergic to water-heads.

i keed!

[Leticia]

Please Please PLease Please Please Please Please Please Please Please PLease PLease PLease Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please

GO TO THE DOCTOR.

[DiabloSammich]

You think you're throwing up, I just clicked on one of buzzards' NSFW links.

Why didn't anybody warn me?????





Seriously, Doctor, Asap.

[scottinnj]

Quit Drinking. <----That's because I'm funny!



































And go to the doctor. <-----That's because I concerned!

















NOW GO!!!

[torker]

The last guy that went to the doctor around here got high blood pressure.

[chubbyknuckles]

So when you worked up the idea to start a thread on what you should do, (foregoing the normal human common sense idea, of a f'n doctor!) Did you figure that you'd ignore whatever advice, you had in fact, asked for?

[thejives]

Hey Dark Hippie.
If you get a chance, why not let us know you're OK?

That way we can all stop yelling at you to get to a hospital.

[mikeyboy]

Go see a medieval barber










.... or maybe a hospital

















...probably a hospital

[DarkHippie]

I am going to the doctor today (it is cheaper than the ER and less waiting). I plugged my symtpms into a web site, and it could be anything from and ulcer to kidney failure to congestive heart failure. I'm thinking its the latter because it seems to be triggered by exersion (exercise, digestion, stress, anything that might cause my heart to work harder). WooHoo! tell fez and ant that i'mjoining the stent club!!!!! ;)

Well, I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one anywhere except in little kids' backyards, but are you having any other heart problem-ish symptoms? If not, it's probably ye olde stomach being a jerk...a couple years ago I started getting hit with really bad stomach probems coupled with REALLY bad chest pains. I was convinced I was gonna be dead before 30 until my doctor figured out I had horribly bad acid reflux that was tearing up my insides. It can do all kinds of things, including making you puke your guts out, and it's typically stimulated by exercise, stress and certain kinds of eating. I'll bet it's something along these lines...fortunately, they've got really strong and eays to take medications that can help control this.

Good luck!

I am hoping you are right. i'd rather it was my stomach than my heart

[TheMojoPin]

Odds are you'd be feeling some pretty noticeable symptoms beyond just those that are stomach-related if it was your heart.

[RAAMONE]

buck up

Craig - thanks for the update. I started to get worried!

Hope that it's easily remedied and you feel better soon.

[thejives]

Do you drink a lot of Orange Juice?
Cuz I'm thinking it's the orange juice.

[Chigworthy]

If you're not careful you won't be able to ski down a hill.

[Caseyelan]

Me too.

[thejives]

ahhhh. I get it.

Dark Hippie's pregnant with Dave's Baby too.

[Blue Heeler]

Definitely get this looked at, even if it's just acid reflux, it could eventually lead into throat cancer.

Hopefully it's just something stupid like a food allergy...or food poison.

Good luck!

[RAAMONE]

i had the same thing happen to me puking couple times a day...finally went to a digestive specialist and i had this thing where my body wasnt digesting food fast enough...so it would just sit in my stomach and eventually get forced back up...nothing really serious...take a pill each morning and i'm fine...a good temporary cure that actually worked for me was doing a shot of apple cider vinegar...dont know why it worked but it usually did

[thejives]

Are you trying to kill him?

[RAAMONE]

i dont know...i didnt think so...just sayin it worked for me

[Heather 8]

Looks like Hippie got the morning sickness that never hit me.

My bad. :down:

Morning sickness is contagious?!
Reason #132 that I won't be getting Mrs. Jives preggers.

[Skellington]

1) appedicts is going to blow, go to the doctor
2) pedicle flap of the stomach is immobile, go to the doctor
3) bleeding ulcers. go to the doctor.
3) inflammation of the stomach lining (infection, h.pylori, abnormal growth) go to the doctor
4) obstruction of the pedicle flap. go to the doctor.
5) vertigo. you can have a inner ear issue that is telling your brain that you are moving when you are not, this will cause the vomits. It also causes vomits when you are active. Go to the doctor.

I hope you have gone to the doctor and got this straightened out.

deal with doctors, much?

[MadMatt]

Any update on DH? I'm a little worried. :sad:

Same here!

[Skellington]

yes, but i also went through many years of med school and got the first two parts of my USMLE's completed.

[Tall_James]

Hopefully you're at your doctor's appointment as I type this. Get well soon.

[thejives]

yes, but i also went through many years of med school and got the first two parts of my USMLE's completed.

Would you mind if Dark Hippie stopped in for a physical examination?
We would appreciate it if you save his life.

[Bulldogcakes]

I can't stop throwing up

Did you just watch the "Cup Chicks" video?

[Franklyn]

DUDE!!! I have had this for years and especially the last 7 months. I wake up in the morning and need to puke foam? not food just foam. It happens two to three times a day. I have been told that drinking a lot of water helps dilute whatever makes you puke. it works for me when I have the option to sit and drink two Mickey D cups of water.

[DarkHippie]

Looks like I'll be posting more during the day. I lost my cookies at work again today. They decided to put me on unpaid medical leave. Not getting paid sucks, but at least i keep my insurance.

The diagnosis is: Acid reflux combined with a previous condition (copd) which exacerbate each other, causing continuous vomiting. They put me on Nexium on tuesday. so far it hasnt helped much

[walking joint]

i had a similar problem around 10 years ago. i would vomit without much coming out, but thats because i really wasn't eating much. i couldn't stop throwing up, but overall felt okay. i went to the doctors and they took a whole bunch of blood tests and stool samples checking for things like ulcers. nothing came back. i threw up like this for about a month and lost a good bit of weight. it then stopped but came back for about 2 weeks around a month later. haven't had it since, but i have terrible reflux. Prilosec has helped me a bit.

[Jughead]

I just wondered how you are doing now???????Update????????:bye:

[DarkHippie]

I just wondered how you are doing now???????Update????????:bye:

its rather tangy

So let's start bottling it and selling it.

[Franklyn]

man I am sorry to hear what happened at work. I have definitely had to hide at work. I have become pretty good at puking quietly. So sorry. Now though it just ruins my life. Right now I am waiting to throw up before I go out so I can have a good time with out worrying. Our environment and stress levels are causing issues that doctors don't have real answers for. I have been in and out for years and now just said fuck it. I hate doctors and more so when they have no answers. good luck with yours.

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

Feel better!

I, err, knew someone who had a similar problem. Stock up on plenty of J-Ello (not the red in case they want to do tests) and soup. The person I, err, knew said he felt much better if he stayed upright and often slept in a recliner... with a puke bucket by his side.

So, I guess we'll have to push back that post-holiday Indian feast get together?

[pennington]

I never got to the throwing-up part but I did have bad acid reflux, to the point I thought it was a heart attack. Cut out coffee (very acidic), all fruit juices and all fried foods (including donuts). I also keep Tums in my night stand.

Oh, and never mix wine and beer...

[DolaMight]

Dude that sucks. It must be hard on your teeth, I've seen horrid pictures of anorexic people's teeth. The acid just wears the enamel away, what are you doin to protect them?

[DarkHippie]

Going in for an Endoscopy tomorrow. Wish me luck.

[Jujubees2]

Going in for an Endoscopy tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Good luck Dark Hippie! And if you need help on how to get a tube down your throat I'm sure Marc with a c will be willing to give you some pointers.

[thejives]

Going in for an Endoscopy tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Good luck dude!
I just know you're going to ace it!

[Gvac]

All the best Hippie. Hope it all works out for you.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Had the endoscopy in February, I bet it is a Hiatal Hernia, a good diet and less drinking should solve it

I bet you he comes back and says they found nothing and he is ok...and he thanks you for betting on him!

[thejives]

I bet you he comes back and says they found nothing and he is ok...and he thanks you for betting on him!

I'll bet they try to sell hippie color prints of the inside of his large intestine.

And I bet he'll cave and get 15 wallet size just to get out of there.

[DarkHippie]

Update: Still throwing up, pain in abdomen, diarhrea. doctors dont know what is wrong. sending me for more tests. Out on medical leave again.

Wish me luck

[thejives]

Good luck!
Be strong, and save your puke in a bag so you can do that goonies trick...

[Sarge]

Good luck, hope they find the problem soon.

[A.J.]

Feel better Hippie.

[DiabloSammich]

I was just thinking the other night how I hadn't heard an update on you, and now I'm sorry I did. Hope it turns out well.

[PhishHead]

Update: Still throwing up, pain in abdomen, diarhrea. doctors dont know what is wrong. sending me for more tests. Out on medical leave again.

Wish me luck

could be IBS those were some of my symptoms before I was diagnosed.

[Furtherman]

You've been this way for over two months? Wow... I really hope they find out and fix you Hippie... take care.

[riverofpiss]

Dude, I hope you find out the problem and start feeling better soon.

[cougarjake13]

i'd suggest moving out of the way, that way when you throw up it doesnt land on you


or just throw down
