I thought I had food poisoning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172428 Fri, 08 May 2015 18:30:04 +0000 anbanan15 2172428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes when I was in 11 grade. I had just finished my freestyle test in figure skating and we were getting dinner/shopping after. I started not to feel so well. After returning home (we were a few hours away) I started to have intense pain. My mom called the our family doc and he said to give me pain meds, if the pain meds didn't help to head into the ER for an appendicitis. I didn't make it too long after taking them before we headed in (my mom hit every pothole on the way!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172425 Fri, 08 May 2015 18:26:30 +0000 bpcmarj 2172425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started with fever and sweats. Then I couldn't keep anything down. And then I had excruciating pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172395 Fri, 08 May 2015 17:54:16 +0000 sera_87 2172395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really bad pain in my abdomen, fever, chills...from what I can remember. </p> <p> I had it for 3-4 days before parents took me to the hospital. I think they thought I just had the flu. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172353 Fri, 08 May 2015 16:44:34 +0000 twodoghouse 2172353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: I hope everything's ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172321 Fri, 08 May 2015 15:48:40 +0000 erinpye 2172321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it when I was 9, and it wasn't severe to me. I felt achy, my lower abdomen on the right side a bit more than anywhere else, and I didn't want to eat. I went to the hospital because my mom was worried and my pediatrician told her not to mess around with abdominal pain, and I had emergency surgery a few hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172213 Fri, 08 May 2015 14:04:48 +0000 wheres_c 2172213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Severe Severe pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172173 Fri, 08 May 2015 13:42:53 +0000 Greentea 2172173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: let me know if you have any questions! I felt 100times worse than the flu, but we assumed I had the flu. I became very bloated in my abdomen and almost died! Emergency surgery at 3 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172167 Fri, 08 May 2015 13:40:51 +0000 Greentea 2172167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had extreme pain in my lower right and violent vomiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172163 Fri, 08 May 2015 13:39:16 +0000 Torchwood 2172163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stepmother had it, but had none of the classic symptoms. Her only real issue was she kept getting "stomach viruses" every month or two. Turned out it was her appendix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2172112 Fri, 08 May 2015 13:21:50 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2172112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and DH have all had appendectomies (DH's was earlier this year). Their main symptom was the severe abdominal pain that came on very suddenly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2171788 Fri, 08 May 2015 09:52:08 +0000 shellio 2171788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in a children's hospital and the classic symptoms are abdominal pain starting around/just below the belly button and moving to the right, nausea, vomiting, and no desire to eat. Unfortunately these are not very specific to appendicitis and can also be associated with lots of other things including constipation or GI bug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2171762 Fri, 08 May 2015 09:27:26 +0000 avivoca 2171762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not, but my sister did. She had extreme abdominal pain on one side, was listless, could not keep food down, and when she came home from school, she was gray. We ended up taking her to the ER that night and she had an emergency appendectomy the next morning </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-had-appendicitis#post-2171741 Fri, 08 May 2015 09:16:13 +0000 BandDmommy 2171741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, what were your symptoms? </p>
