Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Hi , I was sorry to read you had another cholangitis attach. What are the symptoms? My doctors can't believe that I have never had an infection. I think maybe I just didn't know what was happening and was lucky they went away. I sure do hope you get to feeling better real soon. Happy Halloween!! Take care, Doris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Okay, I just took another dose of medicine... but hopefully I can get through this before it really kicks in. Thursday night (at around 8pm) I was at work..and I started itching all over. I had been taking vivarin like it was candy... but I was still sooooooo very exhausted, and having quite a bit of pain. After I went home that night, the pain got worse, along with the itching, nausea..etc. I had my friend take me to the ER at the hosp. up here. While I was waiting to go back into the ER, I went to the bathroom to scratch. I then noticed I had red bumps all over me. When I was taken back to the ER, the Dr came in right away... and told me that I was having an alergic reaction to something. I told him I wasn't worried about the bumps, but I was in excrutiating pain with my liver. His words were... " I don't know what I can do about that, what do you expect me to do " . He was very snotty about it, and I told him that I would just start going to the bigger hospital in dayton. He screamed " fine then, get out of here... we're too busy for this anyway " and started slamming things around. I went home, and called my Dr. and he had me directly admitted into the larger hospital. They took my blood right away, and the next morning... told me everything had went up from a week ago. To make a long story short... they took my IV out sat. afternoon to see how I would do with oral meds. By Sunday morning... my wbc count had went back up. The Dr. left it up to me whether I went home... or went back on IV meds for a night. I decided to go home... he also said that if I had any problems at all... I could call him and he would admit me into the hospital again. I'm still having quite a bit of pain and nausea, and I'm hoping this will resolve quickly... (mainly because the meds for these are knocking me on my butt!!) An interesting thing is... the Resident that was working with my Dr, was talking about sending me to see a transplant team, because of all the infections I have had. He didn't mention it today though, so I'll wait and see what happens. When it came right down to seeing the transplant team... I didn't want to go. A few more bouts of cholangitis though, and I'm sure I'll be screaming to go. Thank you for all your prayers, and well wishes... it means a lot to me. And please know, that I'm praying for each one of you! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Sorry for leaving this out... we narrowed my allergic reaction down to the Tylenol 3 with Codiene that I was taking for pain.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Biddy, The first hospital I went to was Upper Valley Medical Center in between Piqua and Troy ohio. The second one (where my Dr's work at) was Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton ohio. Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 This isn't the first time that I have had problems with the area hospital. I'm supposed to call the Hospital's Risk Management person tomorrow, and I plan to give him an earfull! Right before I was admitted into the larger hospital... I was talking to the nursing supervisor for the smaller hospital.. and I asked her " Do you realize how serious this disease can be? " When she said no... I said " Apparently neither do your doctors!! " I I'd say that right now, is the sickest I've been with this disease, but I'm sure it will pass quickly, and I'll be able to get back to leading a normal life. Thanks again for all the prayers! HA HA! The phenergan, and Vicadin are kicking in... so it's bedtime for me once again. P.S. Isn't it scary that they let something like me out of the hospital on Halloween?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 , I think Peg is 100% correct. It sounds like you need to get listed. Your symtoms are worse than mine and my GI specialist and transplant doctor are working to get me listed. Whenever you into the emergency room, they will have GI doctor on call. You should insist that they page him or her. Good Luck, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 , They way the doctor explained it to us is that the cholangitis attacks can be life threating. The infection can back up into your whole system and toxify (not sure if that's a word) all your organs. Don't fool around with it. And that is precisely why the doctor recommed Phil to be screened to be put on the tx list. First of all, the process takes a long time, probably 3-6 months and if you get on the list it doesn't mean that if you aren't ready for a transplant that you have to take it. You'll have to be on the list for awhile and you don't want to become critical before you get on it. This is how we feel about it. You can also go on hold but you don't lose the time you've accrued. I just would hate to see any of you wait too long to get listed and then miss the chance to have a transplant when you need one. , with the symptoms you are having, I don't beleive you are in the beginning stages of this disease. (Course I'm no expert so I may be wrong). About that other doctor in the first ER. I'd try to get copies of labs from the other hospital and tell them to pound sand if they try to charge you or even perhaps if you feel real brave report him to the state insurance commissioner and next time, (And I hope that won't be for a long time) Go to the larger doctor and insist that they call your GI doctor.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 , I am so sorry to hear about your recent attacks. Also, I cannot believe that the people in the hospital treated you that way. It is unbelievable!!! I hope you never have to encounter that type of attitude again.
