Guest guest Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks Darlene for your reply. You really were put through the mill. I've heard of Histo but wasn't sure if it was a fungal type infection and if it was somehow r/t yeast. With my hx of yeast I was really wondering about this. Thank God you had great doctors and a supportive family.

I vomited for nearly 2 months, ran a fever, was incredibly tired, chilled, etc. I was put in a local hospital for 10 days and they could not find out what was wrong ---- thought it was just a flare up. Finally, my cardiologist decided whatever was wrong with me was more than they could handle, so they sent me to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where I had 3 incredible Doctors. When I saw the first one for the first time, he talked to me for a while and even before he examined me, he said "I know what is wrong, but I will have to do tests to prove it". He told us then it was histo. He admitted me that day. I had the chills so bad that I could not even talk--- just shook everywhere and throwed up everywhere. I was in critical care for about a month and a half and in therapy for a months and a half......... I was on a ventilator for nearly 10 days and had to learn to talk, walk, eat, etc all over again. When I got off the ventilator, all I could do was move my eyes.......scary! But I survived......My family was GREAT and so were my Doctors! Not to mention all those I had praying for me.
