Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Cyndie, I glad to hear that your feeling better and that your trip to the Er did the trick. I sure that your were glad that you didn't have to be admitted. Take it slow and easy. I hope that you continue to improve. Take Care, Louie in WV ER visit Hey everyone! I got kicked in the butt at about 3:30 this morn! All hell broke loose! Horrible pain, nausea and vomiting bile. I took my break- through MSIR and a compazine but soon lost those. I then used a phenergan supp., but to no avail.I literally pulled out all of my ammo, but ended up in ER anyway. I got my usual cocktail of 100 Demerol and 25 of phenergan. 30 min. later, 1/2 a bucket of bile! So they gave me another shot of phenergan which thank God, did the trick! The Dr. came in and said that my A&L were normal (surprise!), my liver enz. were normal also. My WBC was elevated as was my CALCIUM! He then wanted to admit me but I told him that as long as my pain & nausea were under control, I would be ok to go home. The Dr then asked me if my GI or PCP ever talked to me about " burn-out " ! I told him no, but that I'd heard alot about it recently. I thought only CP's with partial panc. could burn-out. What's going on here? What's with the calcium and what role does it play? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Pain & nausea are under control for now, just weak, so I'm doing my tube feedings for some nourishment. God's blessings to you all!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi everyone, I went to a neurologist on Friday, I thought as just a routine visit. Boy was I wrong. I'm having issues with Carpal Tunnel, I went thinking we were gonna talk about having the surgery done, but while I was the nurse practitioner did a pretty through head to toe assessment, somewhere in the assessment, she kept going back to my heart. She found a murmur, that I had never had. The next think I knew I was in the Emergency Room. where they started an IV, drew blood, Chest Xray, Lower legs ultrasound, Cat Scan of my chest, all while I was in the waiting room, which was helpful since they were extremely busy. 5 hours later I was taken back to a treatment room, where I had all my test. so when I did get to see a doctor, all my test were done. Diagnosis: Fluid overload causing the murmur. I had like 4+ edema which is pretty painful, since my days where I fell and broke my Left ankle and my R foot, and was in renal failure. My doctor had stopped my lasix that I had been taking for 10 years. They gave me a dose of IV Lasix, a Foley catheter and sent me home, where I flooded my bag and I had lost 3000 cc since my departure of the ER, gosh I could breath again. I actually slept literally all day Saturday, and Sunday. What a adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Terri, I hate to be nitpicking, but I believe it was 's NURSE-practitioner's thorough exam that saved the day. Let's give credit where credit's due! I used to have patients tell their visitors, "This is my midwife, Dr. Rose," and I'd say, "Hey, don't insult me like that!" Maybe the doctor would have caught it, but if he was in & out in 5 min. like most of them, probably not. But, regardless, , I'm thankful that you are okay (at least from this chapter in your sarc book). Rose > >> > Hi everyone, I went to a neurologist on Friday, I thought as just a> routine> > visit.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Gracious , What knucklehead stopped your lasix, drowning isn't cool. I'm glad you had a good nurse practitioner, and I'm glad your feeling better. Please take it slow and give your heart time to get over the stress (if I sound like a mama hen...just tell me to shut up I won't take offense) Other than starting your meds back, are they going to do anything else?....Connie wrote: Hi everyone, I went to a neurologist on Friday, I thought as just a routine visit.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 , I know the feeling, the lady PA Ruth, I see now is great. They had me see one of the others one time and after I talked to her back, and repeated my self through the appt. I told them I would not see her again, and I haven't. wrote: Thanks Rose, and no the doctor wouldn't have caught it he's one of those guys that sit with their backs to you. That amazes me that the can't look at you any longer. My nurse practitioner makes me see him every other visit, because he is the doctor, I asked her why once, and she said it was because she was a nurse practitioner and not the doctor. I simply love her because she is so through. Hugs, -- Re: ER Visit Terri, I hate to be nitpicking, but I believe it was 's NURSE-practitioner's thorough exam that saved the day. Let's give credit where credit's due! I used to have patients tell their visitors, "This is my midwife, Dr. Rose," and I'd say, "Hey, don't insult me like that!" Maybe the doctor would have caught it, but if he was in & out in 5 min. like most of them, probably not. But, regardless, , I'm thankful that you are okay (at least from this chapter in your sarc book). Rose > >> > Hi everyone, I went to a neurologist on Friday, I thought as just a> routine> > visit.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 , I’m sorry to hear that, and I’m glad you are better! Good thing you got in when you did too. Take care, bet you lost weight too! Praying for better days for you, Marla From: Neurosarcoidosis [mailto:Neurosarcoidosis ] On Behalf Of Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 5:49 AM To: NS Group Subject: ER Visit Hi everyone, I went to a neurologist on Friday, I thought as just a routine visit. Boy was I wrong. I'm having issues with Carpal Tunnel, I went thinking we were gonna talk about having the surgery done, but while I was the nurse practitioner did a pretty through head to toe assessment, somewhere in the assessment, she kept going back to my heart. She found a murmur, that I had never had. The next think I knew I was in the Emergency Room. where they started an IV, drew blood, Chest Xray, Lower legs ultrasound, Cat Scan of my chest, all while I was in the waiting room, which was helpful since they were extremely busy. 5 hours later I was taken back to a treatment room, where I had all my test. so when I did get to see a doctor, all my test were done. Diagnosis: Fluid overload causing the murmur. I had like 4+ edema which is pretty painful, since my days where I fell and broke my Left ankle and my R foot, and was in renal failure. My doctor had stopped my lasix that I had been taking for 10 years. They gave me a dose of IV Lasix, a Foley catheter and sent me home, where I flooded my bag and I had lost 3000 cc since my departure of the ER, gosh I could breath again. I actually slept literally all day Saturday, and Sunday. What a adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
