so i might end up in the emergency room tonight if i am still in pain.

yesterday i woke up to go to work and didn't feel so hot, so i called in sick and went back to bed.
woke up around 11am and got up and had some cereal. i noticed that i felt pressure right in my abdominal area right above my pubic bone. But i just figured it was gas or bloating and didn't pay it much attention.
by 1pm i felt worse and went back to bed.
around 3pm i was sitting on the bathroom floor puking my guts out and sweating to death.
went back to bed and tried to sleep.
woke up off and on due to the pain i was in and felt like i was going to puke so went to the bathroom.
didn't puke but just laid on the cool bathroom floor for about half an hour.

My boyfriend came home around 8pm to find me wrapped in blankets. He had brought me some ginger ale and aloe drink. i managed a few sips before going back to sleep.
Woke up at 5am and felt much better. My fever had broke and besides the abdominal pain i felt perfect.
Got out of bed and went to sit on the couch.

This morning when my boyfriend got up he asked me how i was and told him the pressure was still there.
he told me to go to the walk in clinic to find out what was wrong. i really didn't want to go so i googled my symptoms and appendicitis came up right away. So i was worried.

i managed to get dressed and walk the 2 blocks to the walk in clinic.
the doctor told me it could be appendicitis, but since the pain i have is more on the middle then to the side it could just be pressure due to gas.
He told me to go by some Maalox and if i am still in pain to go to the emergency room tonight so they can take an x-ray.

It totally sucks too because tonight is one of my best friends birthday parties, so everyone is going to be at karaoke, while i'm waiting in the emergency room.

anyway i'll keep you posted once i know what is going on inside of me.
