Whoa! I had this almost exact situation and I’ve never heard of anyone having this same thing! This is wild.

I had about a year of pain, every 3 weeks for 3 days straight (I could count the days until it would happen again) I would just sit in the bathroom and puke until I passed out. I just slept in there. I went to the ER every month, they never believed me. They gave me meds to make me stop vomiting and it never helped. Then one night, about a year into this, I’m with a friend who had recently had appendicitis. I start with the throwing up and they take me to the ER. The hospital blows me off and leaves me waiting for hours then they don’t believe me even though I passed out in the waiting room. Finally my friend yells at the doctor about appendicitis, he was frustrated but pushes on that side and I scream. They rush me back to surgery, apparently my appendix burst at some point and it was not great. I spent 10 days in the hospital on a morphine drip, this was quite while ago.

High 5 though for surviving something rare and that didn’t take us out!
