[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 315762, member: 1963"] I'm bad with the stoic stuff as well. I actually had symptoms of a partial intestinal obstruction for nearly a month. I figured I was constipated or something. Then, when the projectile vomiting started, I went to the ER and all they did was give me a shot of anti-nausea medication and two bags of IV fluids. It was the next day when I was so sick I barely managed to make it to the phone to call an ambulance that we ALL figured out I was literally dying. Part of my small intestine had become gangrenous and was leaking into my abdomen. I was told I should have been in AGONY for several days before it got to that point. I was very lucky. I'm short a goodly length of intestines, managed to survive the peritonitis afterwards, but I will have intestinal problems for the rest of my life due to scarring and the part of the intestines I lost. My whole problem was that I didn't "present" with the usual symptoms of that sort of illness. I honestly thought I just had a 'belly ache" Kids go two routes with this sort of pain; either they flip out, or they 'slurp it up' and try to act normal. [/QUOTE]
