Hello All,

I was thinking about this the other day. Back when I was on dialysis I use to get these "stomach attacks" a couple times a month. It would always start out like indigestion but then get extremely uncomfortable to the point where I couldn't stand up straight. There was no nausea just extreme stomach pain. I told my doc about it and he figured I had peritonitis. They stuck me in the hospital for three days and gave me Vancomycin. And we found out I was allergic to that.
Anyway...I still kept getting these "attacks" Thinking back I remember that my stomach muscles were had hard as rocks during these attacks. And the pain would just disappear on it's own. Like turning off a light switch.
Anyone experience this?? Could I have been pulling off two much fluid or something?? ???

I do in unit hemo and my stomach has done that before once when I challenged myself to take off 4. Hurt like hell. I did not gain 4. The nurse said to challenge myself.  I will never, never do that again....

Could it have been cramping of the abdominal muscles from pulling off too much fluid?  I only ever had the cramps in my legs but the pain was excruciating and then gone.  Interesting question.

I have had severe abdominal cramps from trying to take too much off.... now that is pain!  Wonder if that is what you were experiencing.
