[QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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
Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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!

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
Sure hope things get better for you Greg, Yes our Quad body's can be hard to figure out at times, especially with AD and not always knowing the Cause. I suffer a lot from a syrinx that has been causing me increased pain and problems with my entire left shoulder and arm., I'm hoping it don't continue to get worse.

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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.

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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.)

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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 seven days of levaquin.

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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.

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
Hi Dana, have you tried amytriptilene? some of us take that, I take that many nights but alternate at times and take ambien or a muscle relaxer because it seems changing it up at times helps me sleep better.

Re: [QUAD-L] Another trip to Casa ER
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.
