I would like to say a few things that had happened to me in the last few days. Not just for pity but maybe alittle advice from you guys.
In the last few days, I was having chest pains and had the tinglings all over my left arm, hand and foot. I thought I was having a heart attack but yet.. I didn't go see a dr. I don't like doctors. Anyway.. I was talking to my bestfriend last night and I told her brb because I felt worse. I sat on the couch for 2 hours in pain. My daughter was crying, wanting to call 911, I wouldn't let her. then my husband told me to go to the e.r. I decided to drive to the hospital myself. I'm stubborn when it comes to that point. Well, I came in.. they immediately checked me in and did an EKG. My heart was fine. so I come out to the Lobby.. boy.. there were like 70 to 100 people waiting. They called my name. Put me in a room. It was just me and my daughter. My daughter was my little interpreter til I asked for a certified interpreter. they did an xray, blood work, iv, heart machine, etc. It was freaky for me. My husband finally came (he was at work). The interpreter came in just in time for the nurse to talk to me about my wheezing. He said I have bronchitis and my lungs sounded really bad. Had to do a breathing machine and at the same time, the nurse said he was going to give me Morphine and some antibiotics. OH BOY.. that morphine surely threw me up to the ceiling! I had tears.. I wasn't crying.. but tears. i think its because I panicked. like i said.. I don't like doctors.
another nurse came in.. and said my bloodwork came back.. and will have the dr to talk to me. I knew it wasn't good. then I asked about my xray.. he said the dr will talk to me.
while being drugged... i was still feeling pains.. I told the nurse that my head is pounding worse like i've been hit by an 18 wheeler! He said.. the morphine isn't helping. I said i can feel the morphine kicking but my head was just killing me! they gave me another pain med.. it just made it worse.. I couldn't keep my eyes open..
The doctor came in..she said there was 2 things she needed to discuss with me.. she said first of all.. i have an infection in both of my lungs which can be cured.. 2nd of all.. I have HYPOTHYROID DISEASE.. i was like wtf??? what the heck is that.. she said its my glands in my throat that causes weight gain, constipation, tingling in body, fatigues (tired), depression, so on. I was like wow! I have all that! then I asked if it was curable.. she said no but have medications that can control. I was pretty upset because I've got asthma and Low iron and I'm taking medications for those. Now there's an addition to it.
I come home.. I've got 5 different medications just for my lungs and my thyroid. I can't go back to work as doctors order. Its really depressing for me.
I know there are worst things in the world besides my situation. I just want to hear them out and how they manage to deal with health problems like this. How to have faith, etc. I just want to hear them out.
perhaps it'll help others too.
thanks for reading this.

hehe jk. If i had that kind of money to do the massage therapy, i would be there in a second! seriously, I hate medications.
that scared the heck outta me. so I take it, its pretty serious. I wondered what GalaxyAngel and you are taking? I have to call my family dr tomorrow and make an appt. how do you deal with it? don't you get tired of taking your medication everyday?
