As most know I was going to a teaching hospital for blood work. We (Me and Beth) left early enough to find out where everything was at. I am sure both our Momma's were shocked at this event. This not something we often do. I get to hematology and they basically said what i pretty much need a pulmologist O.o I traveled a couple hours to hear this?!? Oh well at least we had this really cool to place to shop! Got the cutest hair pieces haha. Well later that night it all went down hill from there. WAY down hill.
I woke up in the middle of the night as I always do, freezing. I got up and almost passed out it was an immediate get back into bed and lay down type thing. After getting very sick and laughing about it (yes we did laugh at all this) we decided lets lay down and get some rest. Not much later we were on are way to the ER i was burning up and freezing short of breath. I have severe asthma, so this could have been bad and i used my neb. So beth got in the car and to the ER. The triage nurse told me I am OK i am pink with 100 SATs. OK not normal for a couple reasons in me. One i was flushed not pink huge difference. My norm SATs max at 96 oh and if you can HEAR someone breathe there is OBVIOUSLY a problem. Then i told her how sick I was and i was dehydrated. "You can't be dehydrated from throwing up once" I told her nicely I have POTS I live with chronic dehydration and chronic saline. "There's no such thing as POTS" O.o THEN i was informed a temp of 98 is NOT a fever. I told her what my norm was and it went up a degree since earlier. She rolled her eyes at me and took me back. Met with doc, and not long later i am get 2 liters of fluids. Ran at the same time. I've also had over 12 liters Since i've been here.
So another Doc see's me and cancel's all my Chronic Meds my temps now over 100 and their fighting my alllergies, wasn;t let me have albuteral as needed, would NOT call my doctor, and of course started the all in your head thing. I can not begin to explain how this erks my every last nerve. So I do what I do best. Yes thats right call Superman. He told me to tell the Doc to page him. So I did just that 6 hours later "he was to busy to call my doc" with rationalization "we have your records" Um do to POTS and my asthma I need a special care he KNOWS how to treat me. If you do not have time to properly care for your patient pass me off. So to get him to call Superman, I told him I wanted transfered back home to my hospital with my doctor so I receive proper care. Then he asked me why I would to leave here to go back home no one ever ask to be transfered they asked to be trasnfered in. Yep I let him have it. I got my doctor to call Superman and I got my proper care!
Then I got my offical diagnosis this AM I have a blood infection. Yes my blood is infected! Of course this egotistical doctors are like its a good thing you were close enough to come HERE. Um I would have gone to the ER back home to! I am on some heavy antibiotics and doing fine. Can't wait to be back home with doctors that truly care! I am so tired of these docs here its so ridiculous! I get so frusterated when I know my health and I advocate for myself and get pushed down and told I am full of. Momma had to drop LAWS to get him even so much as listen to me. It should not be that way, Doctors should listen to us. Some of us know about our health!
Well I must be off! I need to convince them to pull the leads!
Love Yall
Poppet!
