Instacare VS Emergency Room Memorial Weekend 2024

Unfortunately I had to visit the instacare and the ER this weekend.

Instacare $50 copay and about an hour.

ER $TBD and 4 to 5 hours & a CT scan.

Over the last few days, I have been having severe pain in my upper abdomen. I knew it was either constipation,  gas bubble, or some kind of blockage.

The CT ruled out a blockage.

The frustration is I went into the instacare and ER the same as I left. In severe pain and no answers as to why or how to fix it.

I started feeling a little nauseous on the drive to and fron the ER. I got home and was just in tears.

As the night went on, the nausea set in, and I spent the next few hours sitting on the toilet holding a garbage pail. Dry heaves and some bowel movement. Finally, I am feeling relief.

The pain is moving down my body, and hopefully, it will be gone soon.

The frustrating thing is I have no idea why this happened. I have not changed anything in my diet or lifestyle. Same things on a different day.

I have no idea how to avoid it.  Now I am afraid to eat or drink anything…and still no answers.
