Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi all, Well I started running a fever again Wed night, feet and hands both went completely numb - I literally could not even pick up a glass of water - I got nervous because my hands go numb right before I have a stroke. Was able to get a neighbor over whom took my temp. 105.2 she stayed with me to keep an eye on me in case I needed to be rushed to the hosp. Finally after 3 hours the temp broke and I started getting feeling back in my hands and feet. Of course Mike was in Missouri and going nuts about me. Well I finally went to bed and felt better. I woke up Thursday morning with my neck, shoulders, and back hurting real bad so I took some of my muscle relaxers throughout the day. Last night I took them again and they had gotten stuck in my throat and I had a hard time finally getting them down - I even tried to throw up. Well I was online talking to Mukund and and just so happy to be talking to Mukund cuz it had been so long... well he had to go to work so I decided to call Mike and tell him I was going to bed. I get all settled and all of a sudden the numbness started again in my feet and hands, then I started vomitting profusly (thank god I had a garbage can next to the bed) got myself to the bathroom and was in there for a good half and hour. Then the chills kicked in, finally got back to bed turned the heating blanket full blast took over an hour just to get warm. During this time I kept taking temp and just watched it climb. Finally I got warm and noticed that I was sweating so turned the blanket off and laid there, watched temp drop it's hovering at 101.4 at the moment but that's ok. Finally got up to get some orange juice plus to cool off. Thought I would jump online while I drink my juice and fill you all in. Call Mike and filled him in on what took place. He is worried as usual. He is in Columbus, OH for the night. Has to unload in Scranton, PA tomorrow afternoon and doesn't expect to be home before 10pm tomorrow night. He wants me to call the rhuemy in the morning and fill him in on the past 2 days. Mike is wondering if this pnuemonia/bronchitis is coming back - Uggg I just so want this to be over with so I can get back on my Cellcept and methotrexate.... I feel like I have knots all throughout my shoulder blades, neck, and lower back so Mike said when he got home tomorrow night he would massage them for me - poor guy - he has busted his butt all week and he is the one who needs the massaging. So if you don't see me around the next few days just figure I am in bed trying to get better... It's always a never-ending story with me it seems - I am fed up with this and I know Mike sure is... Okay all Im off to try to get some rest... Have a pain free night everyone... Hugs Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
