Had to go to the ER last night.
11 years ago
Just so happened I had a kidney infection. I didnt have signs of a generic urinary tract infection or bladder infection. Just went straight for the kidneys.
At first I thought it was gas, so I ate some yogurt and laid out on the floor to try and push the gas out. My lower back and abdomen were aching and cramping so bad that I was starting to get hot and cold flashes as well as uncontrollable shaking.
So then, I took a hot bath, hoping the pain would go away. But no, it got worse. My mom, who is an LNA, took my pulse and blood pressure. It was 108/64 and my pulse was 109. My blood pressure and heart rate are supposed to be way lower than that so that meant I was in actual pain. It ached and hurt so bad that I had to go to the ER. They took a urine sample and found out it was a urinary tract infection that had slipped by and went to the kidneys. I was also experiencing sharp pain in my lower left side, where the pancreas is. So I was worried that something was going on there.
They gave me a shot of morphine like medicine to stop the pain, as well as antibiotics. I threw up the antibiotics, so I hate to retake them. They went down the second time, but I threw up again. Thankfully the pill didnt come out a second time. The pain was finally gone and I could go home. This all happened from 12am to about 3am. The pain meds knocked me out and I've been feeling shitty ever since.
TL;DR I have a kidney infection again and now I'm drugged up for the next few days.
