[QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER

2007-11-29 Thread Greg
I was in the ER/Hospital for 4 days a month ago, just very sick, shaky, etc.
Of course it's a UTI. 

Never really felt good since then. 

But then a month later, I was into the ER again. This time admitted for 3
days. Still not sure exactly what the cause was. While just ending my
B-Program, I got a very bad headache, not fun. BPresure was 170/1??.
Obviously AD, but never had it that bad before.

Many tests, but no clear cause.  This time I went to the big city hospital
(Phoenix, St Joseph's rather than the local one) much better care for sure.

 

Not been a good month,

Greg

I know the feeling bro- my BP went from my norm. of 90 over 60 to 194 over 117. 
I literally thought my head was going to explode. My bout with AD/BP was due to 
trapped gas pressing on my bladder not allowing it to release.

Good Luck!

I've read were gas can be much more pain full than a heart attack. It can 
trigger AD and cause a stroke, so it isn't a laughing matter when you see 
lethal flatulence on a death certificate.

P.S. jk, I'm on new drugs and it feels weird.

It is no wonder this list is so quiet,, everyone has gotten sick! It isn't easy 
to write on here when you get depressed with UTI's, migrating syrinxi (ok, What 
is the plural?) and the anti biotic treatments? 
I'm going for some pity here, I've been sleeping on a mattress that is about 
the most pain full damn thing. I haven't slept more than 2 hours in a month 
now. (If I seem mean I appologize to the point where, Im so tired.)


God Bless ya'll, Hope you feel better.

I am not sleeping well either, and I go to a sleep doctor.  Ha ha I  think I 
have exhausted every sleep medication known demand.  What do other  people 
take to sleep?  My congestion seems to be better today, I had it for  about a 
week or more and it was gone for a week and then it came back.  I  had taken

The air mattress I had died, well, the motor did. I went and bought a twin 
innerspring which was all I could afford. It was last Saturday and a holiday 
weekend meaning very few places were open and my selection was very small. I 
got a couple foam toppers, total waste. They don't do anything at all. I have a 
small flat pyramid of blankets and pillows placed strategically on the 
mattress. After a few minutes I feel as if I'm on cement. It is way too hard to 
lay on either hip. My spine is very misaligned and it just gets worse as time 
goes on. I had a dream I was being run over on a highway and woke up to find my 
pulse was making my low back and left hip hurt in short sharp spikes of pain. 
I've been back to using marijuana and tylenol pm's with my hydrocodone to get 
to sleep but it rarely lasts 2 hours. Doctors have written prescriptions. A 
wound care doctor and my regular doctor but medicare and medicaid are not 
responding to the DME or the doctors. I keep
 rearranging pillows because I'm anything but straight and this thing is flat. 
Medicare has bought me a mattress once in 32 years and they have never paid for 
a bed. I spent about 1.5 hours on hold with a lady that refused to give me her 
name earlier today and I was being really nice to her. Needless to say, the 
hold finally went off and I was disconnected. My brother in law got an old 
waffle type alternating pressure pad working but it died last night and I don't 
think it's fixable. It wasn't helping anyway. If anyone has any ideas, I would 
try anything. 
Thank you for your interest. Everyone that sees it can't believe it.
Thanks for caring,
john

Dana, the doctors usually start most people out on 10mg Amitriptyline and will 
increase the dosage later if you need more--- Several others on here use it 
also besides me--Ron and Lori both take 50mg I believe.  Good Luck,  Dan H.
