8 hours in the ER yesterday...
I was in a lot of pain yesterday, which has been normal for me lately, but because I was with my whole family at my grandfather's house they forced me to go to the ER. I was there for eight hours for them to tell me that it could be an inflamed ovary and a bacterial infection (too much harmful bacteria and not enough "good" bacteria). They had to take my blood through an IV five times and they gave me tons of medications that made me very funny (so I'm told). They at least ruled out a mass or cyst after a CT scan, so that's good, but I sure hope this medication I'm on helps because all it's doing right now is making me feel even worse than I did before. I'm incredibly nauseous all the time. I won't go into details, but I had a rough night last night. This is the first time I've felt like being out of bed...I even had to miss my grandfather's funeral today...
Please pray that this will go away...

Angie, you rest and take it easy. I am so sorry to hear about your grandfathers passing. My prayers are with you and your family. I have not been online that much and last I read I thought that your grandpa was doing better. Once again my condolences to you and your family.
You take care of yourself and don't over do anything.... |

Oh my gosh Angie. I had no idea you were having some problems. I hope you go to your regular Dr. and tell him of your ordeal at the ER and let him to some follow up testing. We just can't take chances with our health.
I hope you get to feeling better real soon and please keep us informed.

Thanks everyone! Janet, I have not had a regular doctor because we don't have medical insurance, but the ER doctor Marci was incredibly nice and she is referring me to a free clinic for my follow up appointments. She says she knows the doctors there and that they're very good. My hubby and I usually just go to the clinic at our college because they don't charge for the visit and give medications at a great price (sometimes free), but we can't go there during the summer semester if we aren't enrolled. Anyway, I think I am starting to get used to the medicine, at least a little. I haven't been feeling nearly as nauseous and I slept pretty well last night. So hopefully it'll all go away soon...
