Re: When to contact Dr with a virus or bacteria? UPDATE

[Guest guest]

I thought I had better update myself. Went to Dr yesterday. She told me

I am moderately dehydrated and to stop drinking pop. instead she said

Gatoraid or Poweraid or Pedialyte and to try eating " BRAT " which made

me laugh. I was thinking " Bratwursts? What is she thinking!? " but she

meant Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast. Those are staying down and

she prescribed phenergan for nausea and vomiting prevention. That is

better but the diarrhea is still an amazing power of nature!

Today was when my husband was to go to the pain mgmt Dr and i wasn't

able to go with him.

Dalanne,

So glad to know that you are getting better. I hadn't even thought

to ask about what you were hydrating with. Good to know your doctor

is on the ball!

Take care and I hope it is all gone soon. I hope your husband's

office visit goes well also.

update from Dalanne:

hubbys appt went well, i wasn't able to go. He has a monitor that he

will wear for a month. Seems to be adapting to it, though. yesterday

was his pain mgmt appt. That Dr. told him to throw the lodine away

and gave him something stronger. He is to go Friday afternoon to get

a new CT scan as the last one was 7 yrs ag. Dr. thinks hubby may have

more damage or else deteriorating discs. if it isn't one thing then

it's another! Welcome to my circus!

I upchucked yesterday and today too. Geez but this is getting old. i

am drinking as much as i can stand which is probably still less than

i should be. We are still watching to make sure i don't get

dyhydrated any more than i already am.

Dr. gave me fenergin, no i can't spell it, for the nausea and when it

is in my system i am better but not when i sleep. The med really

makes me loopy and punchdrunk. At least i begged off work til monday.

Dalanne,

It is good that your hubby got something stronger to help. Seems

when it rains, it pours.

Please get all of the rest that you can between now and Monday. I

sure hope you are a different person by then. Phenergan makes me

loopy too.

My prayers and well wishes are with both of you.

I may have turned the corner on Saturday as I didn't upchuck at all.

Diarrhea was still present. I am so SICK of Powerade and 7-up!

Bananas & applesauce...I may never eat them again. I needed to take

the kids to church today but I slept thru the alarm and the kids let

me sleep till noon. I really needed the rest.

Not having regular food, oh my gosh, the cravings I was having and am

having! I couldn't take it when I got up....had some BBQ with a baked

potatoe and sour cream. Figured if that didn't jumpstart my digestive

system nothing would. Since I haven't been able to flush this illness

out then I'll push it out with solid food! Seems to be working so

far. No more diarrhea but boy...the gas has been impressive!

I'm excited to be taking my medications again, too. Never thought i'd

say that! I was suffering withdrawl from my antidepressant and that

was distinctly unpleasant. By tomorrow the shakes and jitters should

be gone. At least I hope so as I have to go to work tomorrow. On top

of all this I make a call Mon. evening to see if I have to report

Tues a.m. for JURY DUTY! How's that for a stress topper! I have to

laugh. My guardian angel must be close to having a heart attack if

he's been keeping up with me and my family's issues the last week or

two! 8-)

Oh well. If I have to report Tuesday maybe I can manage to vomit one

more time on the judge so i can get out of jury duty.

Dalanne

Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall!
