Hello Madam, I am sorry to read about your troubles! In the presence of certain other symptoms such as nausea and duration of symptoms, it is not recommended to take Imodium as it could make the situation worse. Unfortunately, you will need to see a doctor for an assessment of your condition and, if necessary, not delay the proper treatment. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful at this time, the situation you describe is beyond the scope of what can be accomplished on this platform. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
