Was this dumping or just bad luck?? long and ?TMI?

So I got up this morning, tired, but feeling pretty good!  The cough is better, stuff like that.  I took my routine morning meds....prevacid, MVI, iron, colace, zinc.......then my Carafate.  Went and took my shower, got ready for Church, went to Church and lasted about 15 minutes.  I had to come home!!!!!!  I was sweating, nauseous, dizzy, felt like I was gonna throw up right there in Church.  Luckily, we only live about 2 minutes away, so I was able to get home.  (I never bring my cell phone to Church, so I couldn't even call DH to come get me!  I might have to start bringing it now!)  Ayways, I get home, tried to go to the bathroom...nothing...just felt REALLY bad.  My blood sugar was fine.  SO, I layed down on the bed with fans blowing for about 30 minutes....then I pretty much felt fine!  I hadn't eaten breakfast before Church, just my vits and such.  Could this have been dumping?  or just some bad luck?  DH thinks I may have been starting TSS or something (yeah, just started) and the symptoms were somewhat similar according to some stuff I read.......Whaddu all think?    I hope I NEVER feel like this again!  It was aweful, even though it only lasted about 30-45 minutes.   I've been able to eat breakfast since and I'm back to feeling pretty much "normal", if there IS such a thing!!!!!!  haha    anyways...have a great day everyone and enjoy this beautiful weather!!!!!!!!!!    Ruth

Hey Ruth HOney, Sorry to hear you had a bad experience this am.  I am thinking between the no breakfast, the heat, and the rough week you had last week, you lost 11 lbs??? you're body is probably in shock.  take it easy and listen to what its trying to tell you.  I"m off to the boat, have a great day , we tried giving my OLD DOG a seditive for the first time, its too hot on the boat for him now.  hugs, cheryl

Have fun on the boat Cheryl!  Sounds pretty good about now!  haha....yeah...too much weight too quick..(never any happy medium)  I went from that stall (182 for 2 or 2 1/1 weeks) to down 13 in 8 days!  My body is weird  ...and I haven't even been exercising cuz of feeling cruddy!   Oh well, I'll never understand!   enjoy this warm weather!!!!!!!!!

Sounds a little like dumping to me from what I have heard although I have not really experienced that part of it myself but symptoms are pretty similar when you get food stuck. Hope you feel better soon. HUGS

Geesh Ruth. I am no expert (pre-surgery and all) but that sounds a lot like what some folks in support group on Friday talked about ...getting/feeling really sick when they waited too long to eat and then they didn't feel like eating which made them feel even sicker. Once they ate they felt fine. Not sure if they call that dumping, but it sure sounds the same. Try having a protein drink before leaving the house so you have something in your stomach. What do you think Patty? You were at group and heard what they said. Am I remembering right?

Ruth, I'm not sure if you know it or not but dumping can happen even a day after you have eaten something that doesn't agree with you.  It does definately sounds like how dumping has felt to me.  That is just my two cents.  Missi

Ruth, I'm so sorry you felt terrible this morning.  I have to agree with Cheryl though it sounds like lack of breakfast the heat and a drastic weight loss had your body rebelling.  Keep up with the fluids and enjoy your day!!!

Thanks....to all of you!  I've made it through most of the day now (It's not bedtime yet..haha).  I've felt fine most of the day too...except for this morning!  This heat is messing with me though.  I've been drinking plenty...trust me!  It almost feels good to be hot for once (I've been cold and wrapped up in sweatshirts most of this spring....I still carry my winter jacket in my car for softball games..haha)  I've been careful about my fat and sugar intake, as usual, so hopefully will keep doing ok!  I sure can't wait to get finished with these antibiotics...I really think they are messing with my body!  Today and tomorrow, then I'm done with them! I can't wait!  Stay cool everyone!!!!!!   Ruth

Ruth,, did you take all those pills with water? It looks like too many pills on an empty stomach you have 6 pills listed that fills up your little pouch. Maybe too many at one time... try to space them out some within a half hour.... I have problems too if I take my pills in the morning with no food or milk... Just my thoughts............ Take care  Hope you get better~~~~ Linda

I think that's what it was Linda!  I took my prevacid and Carafate(liquid) before my shower, then I took my chewable MVI right after my shower. Then, I took the other 3 with water as I was heading out the door.  I think I need to spread those last 3 out a little more.  We'll see what happens tomorrow (I have to go for fasting bloodwork in the morning, so I'll have to spread all the meds out through the day).  I need to quit being in such a ru****hink!  Thanks all!
