Thank you to everyone that responded. This morning when I woke up I went to Wallyworld and bought some Prilosec. It has not been long enough yet to get into my system. I also drank a protein shake and the milk seems to have *soothed* my stomach a bit. I have military medical and they are not on call, so their is no *call and get more Nexxium* till Monday morning. My only option would be the ER at Camp Lejeune and it is always packed with a 4 hour wait, sadly because it is free, people abuse it and go for non emergency situations. I am calling Dr. Mann in the morning. Thank you to all those who sent me good vibes and responded to the post... I know I sound like a whiner right now but it hurts

Even if you DID feel like braving the base ER would they know what to do for you?  Doesn't Dr. Mann have an 'on call' associate?  Perhaps you should call and see what he thinks?  This may be something that shouldn't wait until next week.  Cause if you wait to call Dr M tomorrow, how long before you are able to get to see him?  But I guess, if you are at least able to get something down you won't get totally dehydrated and too weak to navigate.  As, you know, I don't work.  So if you need someone to take you to the doc, or sit and hold your hand during a 1,000,000 hour wait at the ER, give me a call!

Oh Darcie,

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, make sure to call that wonderful Dr. Mann on Monday!  I know it doesn't help now but he needs to know what's going on so he can fix it.  If you need a ride somewhere give me a call, I'm right up the street and I'm off tomorrow if you need me.  For now I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers girl! 

Hugs,

Sheryl

~Update~ I called Southern Surgical and thank god Dr. Mann was on call today. He told me to be at his office first thing tommorro and he will schedule me for a scope after he examines me. He told me he was glad I did NOT go to the emergency room and he was glad I called him. He told me he was glad I got the Prilosec and he upped my dosage. Thanks to everyone that offered a ride...I might hit one of you up to take me to the scope... if you have no driver you get no scope and hubby is still deployed leaving me with no ride. I was told to at least try and drink water and not to worry about food right now. Ill keep you all posted...thanks for listening.

Darcie,
Glad to hear that you were able to get in touch with your doctor.  Hopefully, he will be able to quickly and painlessly find out what is going on and get you better in no time.  I hope you are feeling better real soon!

Hugs,
Donna
