How long have you been feeling bad?

Is the pain in your stomach, ( just under your ribs )? Or in your belly/abdomen, ( from waist down )?

Have you been sick? Do you think it is something that you have eaten?

Drink water, with a tiny bit of apple juice if you have it, in sips, if you can keep it down, and go to bed/keep warm, with a basin close by.

Does it feel bad enough to call a doctor? ( Some health-services in the UK provide advice over the phone to see if you need to go in or not; don't know about where you live ). If it's been hurting for more than half a day maybe you should call a doctor.

PS. re. Painkillers, don't take aspirin if it is stomach pain. Take paracetomol-based instead.

Do you think it might have anything to do with being pregnant? ( sorry if I've got things mixed up, but remember your saying/posting that you might be pregnant ). In which case I would call the doctor.

Just seen your edit. i would call a doctor, or emergency-helpline for advice if you can.

Try a hotwater bottle too to relax your muscles because that can cause half the pain after a while.

1. Log off.

2. Go to the nearest emergency room.

3. Receive a doctor's treatment.

No doctors ... :roll:

If it does not get better on its own, and a doctor does not "look at it," then what do expect to gain by posting about your problem here?

Our prayers?

:lol:

Good. :) Or maybe you could phone someone who could take you to an emergency room?

If it is appendicitis or a problem with your pregnancy then it would be worth a bit of physical exposure, I think. :? Seriously, an appendicitis or problems like extra-uterine pregnancies are best dealt with straightaway.

Feeling panicky can make pain worse aswell. Try breathing out in a sort of roar. Sounds funny but it helps.

Take care.

I hope if you intend to follow through with the pregnancy you have seen an OB/GYN already to determine that the pregnancy is not ectopic. No doctors? While pregnant? You really need to make up your mind ASAP on whether you are going to continue the pregnancy, and if so, get some medical care for your baby.

Please tell us how you got on...

Do let us know what actions you've taken and how it's resolved, when you have a chance.

How are you today, BellaDonna? I hope it wore off and that you got ( the rest of ) a good night's sleep afterwards.

And that if it didn't, ( just go away/turn out to be a passing bug/food toxin ), that you are somewhere being looked after. :)

Best wishes.

It didnt wear off and I went to emergency. They did a test and a scan and found out that I am 10 weeks pregnant! I was crying 'no, I am having a baby' and then 10 mins later the pain went, completely. I have not long got home because they kept me in for observation incase. I am booked into the clinic on Monday.

They asked me if their was something wrong and I said 'nothing except for drinking champagne new years and I have been using amphetamine but I cant tell them that, other wise I won't be able to see my daughter for future visits.

Would you please find help where you can be completely and 100% honest? You can't hide things like this from the doctors. It's like you have a death wish. Sorry for the harsh words, but you MUST sort things out and treat yourself better.

I have been using for so long it just has become a normal part of my life. I am very good at hiding it because I think it would be the end of the world if I couldnt take it anymore. I can go for awhile with out using but no more than a 2 or 3 weeks. When I do I can use alot. At times I use cocaine as well, not much. There are times I wonder what it is doing to my body but like I put, if I couldnt I would feel life isn't worth living anymore.
