I have been sick for Almost 2 months now. The pain I was getting was outrageous, but was normal as I have peptic ulcer disease. My son took me to the hospital where they kept me doped up on fentanyl every 2 hours. I was later I formed that I had acute peptic ulcer as well as duodenitis. I'm not sure on the peptic ulcer as they never did a scope. I am in my 5th week of recovery. I am still feeling terrible most days with nausea, dizziness, occasional passing out, weak, foggiest and pain from my sternum down under my ribs on right side and down midway stomach. It's a stabbing pain at times and sometimes just a cramping pain. I haven't eaten meat in 5 weeks. I'm still on the bland diet. My doc put me on dexilant a few weeks ago and said I should be feeling better in a few days. I'm not. So here I'm entering into my 6th week of pain. How long does it take to recover from duodenitis. I have tried to maintain my normal life, but I have a hard time breathing after 20-30 min and have to take a break. I'm very frustrated and just want to heal. Am I doing too much and just need the rest to recuperate? My husband is losing his patience and we're not getting any real answers from anyone. Help
