Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Dear ne, What a shitty way to spend a night - when you have a "rough night" in a hospital there aint anything worse then that! Did they do blood tests and cultures or CT scan of her lungs to make sure she is ok? Prednisone *ACK* Is she asthmatic? I hope she is better today, and I hope you manage to calm your mind so you have some time to rest. *warm hugs* Aisha *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*Believe that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.Believe that you may be that light for someone else.- Kobi Yamada*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Aisha ElderwynICQ: #55461955 MSN Instant Messenger: Aisha <---- most reliable emergency contact.AIM: aishaelderwynIRC: DALnet # (angel`isha)email: aisha@... website: http://www.elderwyn.com/aishaBeing Sick: Mailing List: aishaelderwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's had a cold for a few days, but last evening she started wheezing & couldn't catch her breath. When I got her to ER her po2 was only 88% (which is not good) They think she has a viral infection in her lungs. Anyway, they put her on oxygen & started inhalers & prednisone. She'll come home today if she's better. I talked to her on phone at 3 am & she was really wired from all the alupent & prednisone. LOL ne _________________________________________________________________________ ne, I hope that feels better soon! I fully understand the wired feeling from the medications. I usually get Epinephrine, Lidocaine, IV Solumedrol, Albuterol, and Benadryl... The only thing that Albuterol ever does for me, is make my heart fly, and make me shake.... I don't have asthma, so I have to be pretty far gone for the Albuterol to have any medicinal effects on me.... and that also means that I am ICU bound! When I wheeze, everyone gets scared since my allergies are all upper airway vs lower airway. I hope comes home soon, and is feeling much better soon!!! That can be pretty scary, breathing is supposed to be involuntary not by choice! Oxygen saturation of 88%.... Eikes!!!! I am glad that they took her seriously! I have in the past been accused of causing my oxygen saturation to drop.... how I don't know, but I went into the ER one time, with an oxygen sat of 90, and they told me that I was doing this to myself.... so they sent me away. I left, and went to the ER closest to my house, which just happens to be a Level One Trauma Center. By the time I got to Regions Hospital my Oxygen sat was 86 and dropping fast.... I won emergency intubation while wide awake in the ER. When I came off the vent, I asked the docs if it was possible for me to drop my sats that low, while still breathing.... NO!! So I am not sure where the idiots in the other ER went to medical and nursing school. Holding your breath is a self correcting deal... hold your breath, pass out, breathing returns to normal.... Nope I didn't hold my breath, and I didn't pass out, yet my oxygen sat continued to drop. It is at these times that I am so glad that I have the amount of ALS training I do, because I know what should or shouldn't be happening. And I will fight for what I think needs to be done, for myself, my friends, my family, everyone, even a complete stranger (that is what being a Paramedic & /or Nurse is all about! Fighting for your patients.) Anne the babbler is going back to bed now. Been awake since 0600 for ??????? reason! Now it is just after 0800, and I am hoping to go to sleep again soon. Love Always, Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hhheeelllppp. I am crawling on my head, private areas, legs and hands. This may turn out to be a long wicked night. Than I thought I was going to get more esp soap and turned out I had to spend money on an enlarged electric bill from the extra bodies living here. So I had went to the store and bought the dr. Bronners liquid soap and started using it. The first time made me sick and froze my you know what off. I have been diluting it, but must need to more. I use it in the morning to kill bugs before using what left of my esp soap. I did this evening also and felt sick again. Must be reacting to something in that soap. > Well I am regretting the little bit of sugar I had and deserve to suffer for it. My weight droped again. 186 lbs. 42 lbs gone. Its aweful having a nightmare like this make you look at your much needed weight loss as a little white lining. Just discusting and scares me. I got to get well by the time I reach 108 or I may be in very serious trouble. Well trying to keep busy so as not to think about the stupid crawling. Will have to put on extra protection till I get under control. > In Light Lynn > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Lynn, Thats's great the baking soda is working for you. Try the scrub of three parts of soda to one part of water and apply to full body, including your face. Add more water if needed to have it work as a full body scrub. Don't be afraid to leave it on a little while, scrubbing while it is on. It will be drying with repeated use, so your coconut oil afterwards. It is one of the safest oils you can apply for your multiple chemical sensitivity (you can add tea tree oil to it as repellent). You can also mix a quarter size spot of the soda with your esp shampoo and leave it on your scalp for a bit. Works great. It will eventually lighten your hair a bit. I wish you had a tub for a bath in a cup or two, works great. I would bet it was the selsun blue that made you feel ill, it does to me. > > Hi Bill > > Last night I took Baking Soda and used it as a body scrub. I did not leave it on. I washed it off right away. Than I did Selson Blue for my hair. Did my sea salt as a body scrub and left that on for 3 min. Rinsed and did Dr. Bronners pepperment soap. Washed it off right away. I felt sick and my heart rate was up. I did my esp soap and let it dry on and rinsed. I did not have any bugs after that shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
