Well... you asked...
I'm not a fan of Christmas anyway. However-
I have not eaten solid food since August (I live on Ensure and Gatorade) and dry heaved every morning. The latter is in the past because, after months of trying to figure out what is causing this, I had my gallbladder out last Thursday and the heaving has stopped. But I still can't eat and almost any food smell really disgusts me.
I mean the presents were nice, but between the surgery pain, the itching from where they shaved my entire stomach, the lack of eating, the not wanting to smell any Christmas food, and the general lack of energy... it wasn't a good Christmas.
Please no pity party.
Dude, I have been there. Still no idea what was wrong.
Are you at least eating now? I had another 6-week bout of not eating earlier this year. This surgery was my last step before going to the Mayo Clinic, which will cost a huge amount of money (I'll have to do a GoFundMe), so I really don't want to have to do that.
It was 25 years ago. It gradually went away. Couldn't determine a cause.
Not the best news for me unless it goes away relatively soon, but I'm glad that it never came back for you because it's pretty miserable.
It was miserable. Good luck to you, squid.
Thanks!
My dad spent, I believe, 3-4 years where every single meal he would gagging on the food and end up throwing up. Initially, they thought it was from the severe and chronic throat infection he had and because of our health care system it took them that many years to get his tonsils removed and at least rectify the infection issue. That didn't solve the problem though, and eventually it turned out there was damage to a nerve in his throat that was causing it and he needed another surgery to fix that.
Watched him go through hell all those years, so I definitely feel for you and hope you get this resolved!
Wow. Yeah, thankfully I don't think I need throat surgery. Sorry about your dad.
