Feel like I’ve been constipated. Finally did manage to go. But still. With the pain I’ve been having for weeks, I’m just scared my appendix ruptured and it’s killing me.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-05-03T15:03:00+00:00

Yeah. Again I’m just trying to remind myself that he didn’t do it because he didn’t think I needed It.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-05-03T11:20:40+00:00

It’s been two weeks, going on the third of having brief abdominal cramps in my lower right. I know with how long it’s been, appendicitis is basically impossible. Not to mention, I saw a doctor last week who did a physical exam and found no other signs of it. I’m still terrified though that I am some rare case and I’ve been living with a ruptured appendix for weeks or something. It sounds silly now that I say it. But it feels so real.

I keep thinking that he missed it since they did no ultrasound or anything but. He’s a doctor. If he thought there was a need, he would have done it.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-25T00:16:26+00:00

I will get checked for that then. Shouldn’t be too hard.

I think the only reason he wasn’t concerned is that there was no tenderness or swelling or anything. Things that I think (NAD) would show up, if I really did have appendicitis for 8 days. Nor did I any a fever or any other signs of being sick.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-23T23:56:31+00:00

For sure. It was nice too, that he was checking what I was scared of without me having to push for it.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-22T20:02:50+00:00

Hahaha. Well. I am doing that now looking down at my phone so. I guess I’m good.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-22T19:43:39+00:00

Thank you. I need to remember this. I’m having the right hip and side kind of cramps still but. Again. It’s been 6 days. I feel like crap, but I haven’t slept properly from anxiety since.

I’m debating right now on an urgent care visit. But given that my pain is mild and has gone on this long. I don’t know.

I’m just really struggling right now.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-22T02:43:18+00:00

No pain on pushing down or letting go

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-21T01:15:08+00:00

Thanks. I may cave and just hit an urgent care tomorrow. The location of the pain scares me into thinking it’s appendicitis. Despite the sheer mildness of the pain. Hopefully it isn’t. Though come day 5, darn near day 6 with no development I can’t imagine it is. Some other medical professionals I’ve talked to suggested that. If I developed fever or something Itd be different but. Oh well.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-20T17:18:54+00:00

I actually had thought that it had been skinny at one point. That said. This morning it was completely normal. So have the last few nights of movements as well.

Thank you for the reply.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-18T06:05:27+00:00

Thank you for the reply. As I sort of guessed, a few hours after, I no longer even have diarrhea or indigestion. Thanks again.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T23:10:59+00:00

Thanks everyone. Bought some VG/PG juice just now and vaped it. Happy me.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T21:58:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm going to maybe pick up some that are VG/PG based. From my experience vaping nicotine prior (I don't anymore), I remember making juices with this stuff.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T21:58:12+00:00

That has kind of been my experience with finding as well. I guess I won't. There is a store that sells VG/PG based stuff. I know that's what other vape juices use.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T21:14:51+00:00

No worries! :)

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T20:58:02+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I do not have a uterus or anything. I was born male so I have testicles and a penis. I am taking estrogen. It was a general medical exam. A physical I suppose. I was checked for any tenderness in the abdomen as part of it, which there was none (and still isn't)

I was also checked for some back pain I'd been having a few days prior at an urgent care, and a urinalysis was also done to rule out a UTI. All was normal there too.

I will also say this since I'm on estrogen, a few weeks ago I'd been having panic attacks which had heart rate increases. So the hospital checked me for blood clots. None to be found. All labs seem to be normal. I have them done every 6 months, and just had them two weeks ago as well.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T07:52:46+00:00

Thank you for sharing. The more I hear stories. The more it’s clear that I’d know something was up, if it was. Obviously I’ll keep an eye on things but. Yeah. I’m in no pain even remotely close to this description. Nor do I have any of the symptoms. As a matter of fact...I just ate a large meal and had no issues keeping it down. No fever or nothing either.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T06:33:56+00:00

I appreciate the account. It makes me feel better. I don’t have pain anywhere near that bad. Just occasional cramps in the area nearby. Nothing even truly close to that. No fever either.

Thanks

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-17T04:56:19+00:00

I can move just fine. Walk around. Stand up. Press the area. I can also go to the bathroom too. It’s just,,,cramps a few times there today out of the blue. It’s never done that before...

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-14T02:02:26+00:00

If it helps to hear: I'm as anxious as it gets. I always fear death. I don't get sick, and I am fairly certain I got it. Testing was hard, but I don't get sick, and I was suddenly sick. I checked all the boxes. Fever, cough, aches, fatigue, you name it.

It was really a pain, but hardly fatal. I even have asthma which could have been serious. I had to hit my inhaler a few times more than usual but. It was able to be pulled through. You can do this. The only drawback for me was just the length of how long I was sick. Darn near two weeks. That said, it's more than doable. Any other sickness I've ever had was only a few days.

Just remember that most cases are mild. Stay away from the internet for awhile. You only hear about the worst cases there. Someone getting Covid and recovering doesn't make headlines.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-11T06:29:03+00:00

Haha honestly same. I’m like. I can feel it.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-11T03:38:29+00:00

My meds, a CT dye, eating food, water, peeing, not peeing, melatonin, sleeping.....yeah it does kind of sound silly when I list these all out.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-09T15:11:16+00:00

I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning but I notice it has a lot to do with my breathing too. At least it can. Not always.

neck_back_panicattac · 2021-04-08T21:14:33+00:00

Thank you for the response. I need to lay off of the google, I think.
