Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Hallelujah, Where was this article when I needed it last December (ha) It was the middle of the month and over about three days, my sciatica nerve area of the back started to hurt. By the fourth day, I was stiff as a bord on the bed, unable to move at all. I didn't drink or eat so I wouldn't have to go to the bathroom. The pain was incredible. Almost as severe as the acute peritonitis which was living in hell too long. I increased my pain meds, but nothing seemed to touch this pain. Finally I went to the ER, although that is my least favorite place. They did a cursory xray and sent me home with muscle relaxers, about 10 I think. No matter what I said, they would not listen. I told then I DID NOT slip any disk. When I described my sedentary life, they would only argue about how easily is it is to slip a disk. I was besides myself, yet knew that I must remain calm as I was the only person who was going to figure this out, if I were lucky enough. At first I was glad for the sleep as the pain was unbearable. But the sleep time started getting longer and longer. I no longer remembered home health coming to give me the IV gamma. Slowly I slipped into what I will refer to as my sleep fest coma. But because I usually slept a lot, none of my family was alarmed that possibly a nasty infection was brewing like I tried to tell them before losing all streams of consciousness. (To shorten this tale,) I don't remember anything from December 15 till Jan 3, when I sat upright in bed and Yelled, " Get me to the ER " I refused to go to the same hospital that told me I had a slipped disk just two weeks prior when it now was obvious to everyone that I was right. IT was an infection ....and it had settled in my sciatica. They immediately found the MRSA and admitted me. I was told I would not have lived another 3-4 days. They ran the vancomyacin full blast twice a day until the trough indicated toxic levels When will they ever learn. Had not fate intervened, it would have been another senseless death because another doctor won't believe a patient when they say, " I feel like its an infection " Must doctors have such temper tantrums and force other hair brained diagnosis on us just because our knowledge, insight and determination gets their panties bunched up? Dear Doc, I am so very ill that it takes every ounce of energy to fight this battle. And yet every time I come for an appointment why must we dance the same dance. Why must I constantly be made to feel that I must motivate you to treat me. That I must pull magic from my hat and convince you that I am worthy of your best care. When my eyes catch your gaze, why do I see boredom. Can't you postpone those thoughts of golf and a 'nooner' until you have given me your best expert knowledge and directiuons on the best way for me to regain my health. I am the one that must live through this hell, so if I feel that my life is still worth living,who are you to make the judgment that I am only a number, an expendable number at that? After all, who voted you God this year?Wasn't me !! > A person from shared the following with me.
