Yesterday I started having the WORST pain in my nose from the tube. Im not sure what caused it but its so unbreakable. I had taken all the ibuprofen and Tylenol that I could so I broke down and smoked some weed for the first time in 11 months. I kept being told my stomach problems were from the weed but its only gotten worse with time. The weed helped a lot, didnt take the pain away but made it bearable. I was even a lil hungry for the first time ever and a lil food did okay. I just dont want to have to smoke everyday. Any tips on dealing with nose pain? My nose just feels so raw, ive tried taping it jn dipperent spots and it doesn't help.

Hello, I just spent 8 days in the hospital for losing 17 pounds in a month time and not being able to eat or drink. They placed a ng tube and advanced it past my stomach and I am now able to handle the feeds.

I have been experiencing lots of pressure in the sinus that the tube goes through, along with a runny/stuffy nose. My throat has also been very sore, is there anything I can do to minimize these things? Or does it get better with time?

Thank you in advance.

I have finally been admitted to the hospital due to exream weight loss and unable to eat.

They wanted to place an NG tube and my experience was absolutely horrible and painful! They are wanting to try again right away but arent offering anything for nerves or pain going into it. I am freaking out, I dont think I can go through that again and feel like they arent listening to me about how traumatic it was for me.

Im just venting, I know I need the nutrition I just dont want more excruciating pain to get it. I just feel so lost and alone idk

I have been losing a pound a day or every other day. I can barely get any food or any drink in regardless how much I try. I miss food soo mucn at this point. My GI isnt doing anything and will only offer me an appointment late October and tells me to go to the ER if needed. My dietitian thinks supplemental fluids would be good but my GI is very against it but says if im dehydrated go to ER. Ive gone to the ER multiple times and they always say they cant do anything there my labs look good and to follow up woth GI. I feel like I am just being pawned off from one person to another until it'll be wavy too late. I dont want to go through this anymore, I hate this cycle. I juat want to be done

I have lost so much weight over the last month or so, if I lose 2 more pounds I'll have lost 15 pound and be 95 pounds. I have been trying SO hard to eat and drink but feel so sick at all times. My GI dr is only offering minor diagnostics, a referral and change in meds (taking me off all my current ones and putting me on a new one)

Im at such a loss as my dietitian is really worried and keeps trying to push for things to be done while my GI just denies it and says they dont normally do that. Won't offer me anything to be done now and says "if I feel dehydrated or something go to the er if you feel like you need to" but won't actually give any input.

I know diagnostics and referrals can take a bit of time and since I've started losing a pound a day I dont feel like I have that anymore. On top of my GI not even offering me in office visits so I know nothing will be done and I dont have another appt for 2 weeks. I just feel like I'm withering away and no one on my care team that can do anything cares. I am so thankful for my dietitian but she can do much.

I dont know what I am expecting to come from this. I am just so tired of living like this.

I have a hard time controlling my eating, mostly when overwhelmed and emotional. I also came have a hard time stopping eating when I know i have hit my limit, especially when it tastes good. I have been in an aweful flare lately and I hate feeling like this.

I also got some bad news yesterday so want to munch a lot which I HATE as I know I will feel 100x worse. I just cant shut that voice in my brain off.

If there is anything that has helped you overcome anything like this please let me know.

Thank you im advance
