ruptured appendix
I had really bad stomach pains for a month or so, eventually to the point where I could barely do anything without very sharp pains. Eventually I started throwing up every day and went to the ER at 5am... it turned out my appendix had RUPTURED!!! and the doctors think it had been ruptured for at least 2-3 days!!! They don't know how I survived...
In the ER they did an xray and CAT scan.. and they couldn't tell from there if it was appendicitis or Crohn's disease (an intestinal auto-immune disease that i have family history of) so they had to go in laproscopically to see what was going on...
and they found my appx already ruptured! (and ruled out Crohns)
then after being readmitted to the hospital 2x more (for a total of a month) they realized I had crohns too, and it was what made my appendix rupture.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT WRITE IT OFF AS NOTHING!!! I WOULD HAVE DIED IF I DIDNT GO TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN I DID!! (I TOLERATED THE PAIN TOO LONG AS IT IS, BC I WAS USED TO STOMACH PAIN)
JUST HAVE THEM TAKE IT OUT LAPROSCOPICALLY SO YOU DONT EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT AGAIN.. ITS WORTH IT
