I got appendicitis when i was 19. I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst stomach pain, when i layed down it felt like someone was sitting on me. Then i started vomitting, i couldnt lay down without intense pain. I slept on and off all night in a chair as i had to be up right. By morning the pain was on my right side and i could barely walk. I went to the hospital (by myself mind you) walked up a BIG hill stumbled into emergency could barely talk i think all i said was "pain...tummy" so they put me through triage and they at first kept saying i was pregnant and it was ectopic, i kept saying there was NO WAY i could be. So they fart assed around giving me a blood test which came back negative (hmm YA THINK!!) then some other doctor came and asked what was wrong and what symptoms i had he felt the area and he asked if it hurt more if he pushed down or let go and when he let go i burst straight into tears, and that was when he said "we think you have appendicitis. we will operate and see.." Sure enough it was.
