Stuck in hospital

Hello everyone! I have been stuck in hospital for most of the last 3 weeks. I have had two failed discharges and was only out for a total of 5 days. They are calling it functional nausea and vomiting. They've withdrawn my IV fluids but I'm going to push for some to be restarted after I nearly collapsed when I went down to reception earlier!! Tomorrow I'm being trialed on a NG tube to supplement the small amounts I can eat. I'll also be getting a midline if they restart my IV stuff as my veins are destroyed. I also have mental health problems, IBS, chronic pain syndrome and a few other bits and pieces.
I was hoping to find some comfort among other people who know what it's like to have a body and brain that don't like talking to each other properly.
So hello!!

They are an advocate service for those with mental health issues and additional problems not getting any answers with their care. NHS services and any treatment involved.
Just an idea for you. I know might be interested in helping you.
No one wishes to see a valued member having problems with treatment and care.
Wish you well in your recovery.
Any problems please ask . We are here to help and advise. A member of our team or a member of our community.

Lovely to meet you. I am so so sorry to hear about what you are going through, my dad is currently facing a similar situation and has been in and out of hospital 4 times now so I completely understand how frustrating it is.
You can always come here for support and we will always try to help if we can.
I hope things start to look up for you soon!

Please can I ask did you have time to contact RETHINK.?
Just because you have a mental health team if they are not working for you then contact RETHINK.
Every one deserves good mental health and support.
Intervening might be supportive and seek some answers with your care.
Advocate service useful because they can speak on your behalf with your permission discuss before hand with you what you need to ask Doctors or mental health team. They then talk to the people in involved with your care.
Hope that helps you.
Please keep in touch.
Take care.

I'm sorry to hear you ended up in A&E, I hope you are feeling a bit better today!
The service sounds really positive so I hope they are able to help. The OT assessment sounds promising as well
