IV Nexium saved me from misery



Tuesday nite I had severe central abdominal pain. I went to the GP and got some buscopan and managed to sleep through the nite. The next day I was still in pain and went to get some ranitidine and that didn't help. Then I took Losec and that didn't help.

I went to a Hospital A&E at night (Wed) as the pain worsened, and asked for IV Nexium and got it injected at 11pm. The doctor suggested I be admitted which I refused. I asked them to take a blood sample for amylase to rule out acute pancreatitis. They pain continued to 2am. At 3am they hospital called and told me my amylase was normal so I whacked another Losec. Now I have not eaten properly for 3 days and am slightly slimmer. Up to now I have not eaten a full meal.
