I was developing more stomach cramps yesterday afternoon. I'd been having aches every day since my last visit it hospital and was so relieved to finally find out what it was that I told the GP they were coming back but didn't really insist on him taking note of the increase in pain.
By about 8pm, Mrs B was getting really worried and in the end called the doctors out of hours. I was told to come in to the community hospital. Father in law whipped round and sped me to hospital (and he has to get up for work at like 4 in the morning or something!) where the prescence of an ulcer was confirmed. Fortunately, I was able to ease the pains with gavascon, milk and PPIs. With any luck, if I avoid the types of food I've been advised to avoid now, I'll be okay until I can get this infection cleared up and get the ulcers healed.
I was so scared I'd have to go back in to Derriford. I didn't want another hospital stay. The doc at the hospital did say if it got anyworse to just call an ambulance. Fortunately, this was not required.

you take care rich, jon
Thanks, madjon. Still feeling rough at the mo. How's uni going this term? Is it easter you're next back?
I'm drinking milk and gaviscon and Proton Pump Inhibitors, so I should be okay. Mrs B is hovering by the phone in case she needs to call me an ambulance - lol. I'll be okay :)
hugs
