Damaged stomach

[EveronK]

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. I'm going to get straight to the point so I don't waste your time.
You see, from 2024 until today I have had problems in my life, specifically in my stomach. Even though I have tried everything to fix it; omeprazole, esomeprazole, sucralfate, probiotics (pajaritos yogurt), and going to the doctor several times and they always give me the same garbage of very expensive medications that make me worse; for example omeprazole that causes me anxiety. I also tried to have an endoscopy, but my trauma from a previous endoscopy in which they did the procedure AWAKE for 20 minutes feeling everything caused me so much panic that I couldn't breathe so they had to cancel it, I left the place very scared and shaking.

I am currently trying glutamine but it makes me feel bad even with a small amount, I also tried aloe vera 1gr in the mornings for days and I still felt bad. I know most of you are not doctors and will probably tell me to go back to the doctor, but I honestly can't trust them much anymore. Plus I'm not in a good financial situation now. I've been like this for so long that I previously posted asking for help because my mind was devastated, thankfully you guys helped me out and gave me some really good advice and I was able to gather the courage again and keep living.

The reason I'm asking for help again is because my mind is slowly falling apart again. And that scares me.
I don't know what else to do, folks. I'm tired. Meditating is hard for me because of the discomfort, but I do it anyway because it keeps me sane.

Anyway, I know it's arrogant what I'm asking for, but if anyone knows or can help me with advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

Can you write more about your symptoms please? What is your issue exactly. When does it happen. Do you feel weak, feverishly in addition to that?

Sorry I am too tired right now, but it sounds like you might have some heavy inflammation.

Could you also tell me what your typical diet looks like? How does a typical day looks like (what food do you eat, how much are you moving).
Did you have had any antibiotics prior to that?

Sorry you had such a scary experience, that sounds very strange. It may be different where you live but best practice for endoscopy is to be under general anaesthesia(be put to sleep). Conscious sedation with opiates and benzos is an alternative and another good standard. It sounds like you may have been light on the anaesthesia. But you should be able to request to be put to sleep without any issues. Insurance may be more willing to cover it since you had panic attacks and couldn't breathe and etc.

It's not all the doctor's fault either. Many things play into it like company protocols, what's considered good practice in your locale, doctor's judgement, etc. It can vary alot even within the same city. But they should be accommodating to your requests. It's easy to forget that you have the freedom of choice and determination of your own care as a patient.


What about consulting Centralforce, have you considered a TCM practitioner?

Also, what exactly is the problem you're having with your stomach?

Is it absolutely confirmed to be your stomach? Because pain can register in one part of the body but originate from disease processes/inflammation in another part. For example, an organ that's inflamed, but has no nerve endings for pain, and as a result of inflammation swells and pushes against something else that does have pain receptors, making it seem like the problem is there instead.
