I ve not felt well in months. Then I got an intestional virus from the nursing home my mother is in. I had explosive diarrhea for two weeks, which smelled like something had rotted inside of me. I ended up in an Er, dehydrated, anemic, and kidney function elevated. I followed thru with my family doctor, with more blood tests my kidneys were getting worse, so I was taken off mobic and a bp med. right after I came down with the flu, which turned into bronchitis. A round,of antibiotics. During the time off mobic and my bp, my pain become crazy from my arthritis. And my bp was rising. After being proscribed tramadol for pain, which didn t work I called my doctor and begged for another anti inflamory drug. During this time I keep feeling worse, then my bp became 198/106 and my pulse 113. I called my doctor again, he said to take an extra clonidine. I said I m sick atmy tummy and I have pressure in my chest. He said go to the Er. I did, went to the heart hospital in Indy. I hadn t had a heart attack, but I was dyhrated, white blood count up and low potassium. I have an appt Monday with a cardio guy, with a possible tests. Last night I had an episode of something strange, all my joints starting hurting really bad, then moved to my bones, then extreme cold. I got into a hot tub, got it to quit aching, but since I feel like I have a bad case of the flu. Aches, cold, hot chills. My family doctor doesn t seem to take me seriously, but I know something is wrong inside me. I ve had my thyroid gland tested twice a year. I know there are other glands that can affect your body temperatures. Since I had the viral intestional thing I ve felt worse. My poop smells rotten like I might have cdiff. But I understand I have a lot going on, some new things and some long term things and some on and off things. Where do I start after my cardio appt Monday?
