Round 2.....

[DragonRider]

Well I lasted exactly 2 days back to work after my bout of Pneumonia before I had to go back to the E/R, this time the chest pains were so, so bad, we thought it was the big one, I have never had pain so excrutiating ever before, so back we went to the ER. This time things didnt go as smoothly as the last time, got there just before the changing of shifts and to complicate matters, they started looking at all the results from my last visit one week ago and were ready to discharge me before the even did chest x-rays and had all the blood tested. We,Charlene and I told them I havent even had any meds yet, how can you discharge me with all this pain and trouble breathing. They said all the test were good and that the xrays ............Wrong I told them that they haven't done one damn thing yet, they were looking at old test. Then another doctor came in and started all over again. Take more blood since the other was still sitting on the cart, it went bad. Didnt like this one either, he seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of me till Charlene started asking it they tested for this and that, he left and came back later and said he did as she asked and everything looked good. It wasnt my heart, or my gall bladder or any other organ, no blood clot in the lungs or a collasped lung. What I had was still Pneumonia complicated by plusiary What really mad me mad is all they did for me was give me a bunch of pain killers to stop the pain but no antibiotics by IV like they did last time.......just more prescriptions and no work, so now I go back to my Dr. on Monday and see what they say. Life stinks right now, I am so tired of being sick, I actually miss work, and I cant work on the 1st gen right now, and time is running out to get it ready by Vogel.

Hope it turns around for you soon Lew. I know what it is to be sick and nothing seems to work. With the injuries and Illness the last few years it really had me going. I had about given up. Hard to deal with but you got to keep trying. Will send up a word for you.

Way back in my yoot I came down with paricarditis. An inflamation of the pericardium around the heart sack. Hurt like an SOB... Treatment was antibiotics and rest. Thought it was the big one too. I wonder if that's what you have???

[DragonRider]

I think that and what I have are very similar.............doing better now, just have to rest up before I go back to work, hope this round of meds does the trick for me if not I am going to tell them to stick me in a room and I aint leavin till Im well.................:bang head:

I had plurisy when I was a younger athlete at 16. I still remember the pain and the tears coming from my eyes. The next day I was much better thanks to good meds.

Lewis,

 

I couldn't help but read with interest what you just described. And I have to tell you that my brother just had the same symtoms, Long story short, he is gluecose intolerant, and a simple test imediately showed the results.

Symtoms have since gone away for him.

 

Hope you get it figured out soon,

Steve

I would be looking for another hospital to go too..

 

Change of shifts means nothing when you are in pain and need medical attention..
