Medical update - I'm alive!
11 years ago
General
Quick update from my phone!
Warning: medical tmi.
I'm resting in bed today. I've spent the last week in misery, unable to eat or sleep, I couldn't even breathe without pain. I saw my old usual doctor (I have no insurance so I hadn't in awhile) and she was sure it was just my thyroid. So she didn't give me antibiotics and refused to give me painkillers. I did blood and urine samples and went home, where I spend all my time vomiting up bile and unable to use the bathroom or eat anything or even sleep because the pain was too intense.
The night before last I was in so much pain and misery that I didn't want to live anymore so I ended up going to the ER at 4 in the morning. Basically I was told I had a severe UTI and extreme kidney infection. I was extremely dehydrated so I got an IV with morphine and saline and antibiotics and then 4 prescriptions for antibiotics, painkiller, and anti nausea pills. I was told that if I hadn't come in, then kidney failure could have been in my not so distant future. >_< So basically I waited on my Dr who refused to give me the help I was needing. I'm upset with her but whatever.
I'm finally feeling more alive. I'm on day 2/7 of 6 times daily antibiotics. I'm having painkiller with each small meal, usually rice or applesauce. And thankfully not vomiting anymore, and can pee normally again! I can't wait to get back to normal. I'm gonna start treating my body a lot better from now on. This was so scary

OP
Yeaaa I was just going with her cuz I never had an issue with her before. She's the Dr that all my siblings and even some friends see. But this turned me off big time :/ I could have died. Ugh.
