Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Hi all, Finally broke down and went to dr today. She ran blood and urine test. No UTI, not dehydrated, and no infection that she could find. I had a temp of 100.1 and gain 5 more lbs in one day. She is totally confused now as to what to do. She did prescribe a duritic(sp), low dosage, and said that if my temp went up any more, or I gained any more weight over the weekend to go to er. Neuro was not in office today for her to consult with. I am to call Neuro on Monday and she will fax lab report to him. That way if he wants or needs her to test for something else she can. She noticed quickly how swollen I was. She was not happy about the water pill either. She thinks that maybe my autonomic system is going hey wire again, but doesn't know why. THIS is why I was afraid to go in. I told her that also. She said that I did the right thing. And she could " see " a problem, but did not know which way to go. Consulation is that I really don't think anybody, but maybe neuro, would know what to do now. any thoughts wanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Wanda: You did the right thing by going to your doctor. Putting on that much weight in that short of time isn't good and it has to be a sign that other things are going on. Then also you have that temp 100.1 Please follow up with the Neuro the way the doctor asked you to. Hopefully the water pills will help with the fluid that your body is building up and they can do some other blood work that will show something. Let us know what is going on.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 Wanda, I do not know how to help you. I wish I did because I am new to all this also. I am also gaining weight at a very fast rate. It is very scary. I am afraid if I keep gaining weight as fast as I am a tent wont even fit me by this time next year. Please let us know what the doctor said. I am glad you went and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless, Belinda > Hi all, > > Finally broke down and went to dr today. She ran blood and urine > test.
