Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Sondra, I'm glad you're going to the ER. Maybe you have a little infection from your surgery. Better to go to the hospital and get checked. Please let us know what happens and I hope you feel better very quickly. Debi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I to went to the ER but they did not find or understand the causes of the heavy bleeds or other things. I to went through 16 pads in 3 hours so that is of way too much, they to sayed the antibiotic I to be of taken can hide things in some ways of knowing whats elsemight be of going on but by 10:30-11 bleeds slowed way down. It was as if had a whole 5 day monthly all in 3-4 hours. It caused me to get very internally quite and not able to attend as was more to " day dream " states and just could not process and or connect well to words around me. I to give of the husband good credit to melast night as one nurse was not in the knowing and was being too fast and harsh with me and it was of cauaing me more stress and such. so whe I to had to go with the other person for urine , he to explained of the autism, to the other nurse who then replied she also had of a son with autism. She was still was of clueless in the understand of processing but was much better at being patient and calm. When my anxiety and fear is of high I to shake so much so people think I to be fo freezing and it does match the way people are when freezing with the funny chattering of the lips and shaking so much so. I to tried to explain was not cold int he sense of being one who is of clod but the fears and anxiety in me respond this way. when I to feel have to do good job for medical reasons but inside of me my fear is of very intese and want to bolt away. I to ahd to get of blood out of the arm, and pelvic but he to say the things all look well so he really cant explain of it except that my severe insomina lately and the surgery and tehn bladder and kideny infection could have possibly interfered with my normal ways for monthly but he can not be of for sure but is of assuming of this to me. I to ahve to go to my medical doctor soon to make a new appointment. Today feel much like weights are tied to my ankles and wrist and feel so weghted down and struggling to walk. I to still ahve of a bad headache to this. I to did rest fairly sound though once got of home so did sleep from 3- 7 AM/ 4 hours is of good compared to 4 hours of very broken sleep. I to need to take of my missy off to school this day as when ever somethings happens tome she builds in fear and anxiety of me so needs memore to help of her. My isaiah is of going to cedar point for senior day. today is really hims last offical day of school before to graduate and this whole thinking brings me to tears off and on more on than off andlack why this is making me so deeply sad within me. I to be so mixed up and feel stupid because my brain is to be of suppose to feel happy and I to feel opposite. I to be just a mixed up person in expressing self.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Sondra, I hope you are over whatever caused you so much trouble last night. Sounds like after that you have every right to be dragged down and tired. Try if you can to get some rest! And, you are not alone in that mixed up feelings thing! I often cry at times you think you should be happy. ESPECIALLY if it is during a monthly, and if your monthly was that bad, maybe your hormones are all over the place too. Combined with lack of sleep....I think your mixed emotions are perfectly normal right about now!! Hope you feel better, get some rest!!

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Sondra, it's very normal for moms to be happy and sad when their kids graduate. It think it's such a profoundly proud moment for moms and dads that the intense emotions make us have to cry to get it out. I'm glad you aren't bleeding like you were. They probably checked your white blood cell count to see if you were showing an internal infection, but because of the antibiotics your blood wouldn't really show it. If you keep having problems, ask them to do an ultrasound to see if they see anything on the inside. Are your bowel movements okay now?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hi Sondra, Sorry you are not feeling well right now. As far as dealing with medical staff in unknown situations, maybe you can get the doctor to write a note for you to give to medical staff & also to have in your chart in the hospital explaining that you have autism. Have your dr specify : to please speak clearly, give you time to process what was said, explain the particular issues you have trouble dealing with. You might give your dr some ideas of what specifically you have trouble with & she can write it down in her own words; it would carry weight having an MD's signature. This way you won't have to explain yourself when you are feeling ill & stressed out " just " from being ill. You don't need the added stress of trying to communicate when you are being bombarded & overloaded dealing with the medical staff. With a note that you carry with you & you can give it when you have trouble dealing with people.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Sondra, I'm glad some of my input was helpful. Getting more of a family medical history is always good; it helps the docs to figure out what might be going on. Still, having a note saying something like : My name is Sondra & I have autism. Please speak slowly & clearly & give me time to process what you have just said. I will ask if I don't understand, but please don't repeat or vary the same question repeatedly. Please give me (x amount of time) 10 secs to process your question. Or something like that to help the medical people to work with you. Hope you feel like your usual self again soon.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 marie the other issues I to struggle with is lacking what is of important and not knowing how to be of specific to their answers I to find self rambling tring to find out what is of that they are seeking. Such as sometimes they will ask when did the pain begin, well since had some of these pains for years off and on lack how to answer that question , and then they will ask where it is and I to lack the knowing of exactly where it is located just a general areas with most things. Such as if have a severe ear infection might not notice it as being pain in the ear so will say having headaches or pressure in my head and it isnot thinked to be of ear infection by the doctor unless she checks of my ears. .. But if my tummy is of hurting really cant tell where it is in specific but just that it does not feel right and can have cramping feelings all over. Some will ask of me to rate the pains and often cant do that as not aware of the intensity for self of pains cant register that unless the pain is in an areas where it is registering and can be of more specific. I to register headaches, nausea, hip join pains, I to also react and register much so temperature changes to self. such as hot and chills. But maybe this is of a good things to have a note attached and also to have of a good business like card on my autism in ways that it presentaions affact me. this can be of one to take with me everytime I to go. Lastly, I to b of trying to find a good place to order medical alert bracelets for self. I to need one for allergies but want a good nice bracelet that discloses of my autism and has of emergency number on the back of it with a birthstone of december color.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Sondra, in my nursing class this semester we were introduced to patient assessment. What I have been taught is that, as nurses, we are to be concerned with the whole person and what ever is important to you should be important to your nurse doing your assessment. If you feel that having a pain off and on for years is important, then it's important to say so to your health care providers. If you aren't sure how you feel, telling them you aren't sure is important, it tells the nurse that you need help in understanding what's going on with your body. That's part of his/her job to help you understand what the problem is and how to go about healing you. Of course, I know a lot of what I'm being taught unfortunately isn't practiced in the work setting, but you should never be afraid or embarassed to say what ever you feel like needs saying. They should be taking the time to ensure they are getting all the information and communicating everything you need to communicate, even if that's sometimes " I don't know. " That should be a sign to them to slow down and look deeper at your situation and spend more time with you to give you better understanding.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Debbie the nurses of her office are usually good ones who know of me but this new one is of asian and speaks much fast in broken circles of words that cause me to feel confused and in rapid shipts of no longer knwowing within me my own thinking and feelings and so then cant communicate anymore. I to wanted to speak to my doctor when she came in over this but the nurse came in with the doctor so did not know how to address it without being seen as a rude or offensive person.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 That's totally understandable. I hate dealing with people who don't speak clearly, I have enough hearing issues as it is.
