I slept last night. That makes a huge difference. I also got them to stop the saline drip that wasn’t necessary and truthfully was torture for an MS patient with bladder issues. I was peeing every 20-30 minutes yesterday. I took a second bladder urgency pill I am prescribed last night which helped me sleep and cut the bathroom trips down to every few hours. I also used a commode next to my bed. It just went smoother. The doctor…
So I ended up being admitted to the hospital. MS for 20 years and a little fall causes cellulitis and a skin infection and I ended up admitted. Last time I spent a night in a hospital was 19 years ago giving birth to my daughter. Same hospital I might add. I had a horrible night because of all the fluids they are pumping in my veins via IV caused me to need the bathroom often. Wouldn’t be terrible if…
I’d love to say my saga is over, but I have a very bad feeling it’s not. I’ve been on my antibiotics for two days and the pain, which i thought subsided slightly, has not and my calf has swelled up tremendously. That’s causing a lot of pain. Something is very wrong!!! I think I’m going to have to go back to the ER later. I know this is crazy but they’re coming to do my windows this morning and…
I knew I should’ve gone to one of the urgent care is instead of going to my actual doctor. He was concerned that the bump/bruise I had on my knee not only had an infection, but the infection could’ve reached my knee joint. If that was the case I would’ve needed IV antibiotics and would’ve had to be in the hospital for a couple of days. From the office he sent me right to the ER. What started as a…
I fell last week and now I have a lump on my knee. It is bruised, warm to the touch and lightly throbbing. Wouldn’t be so bad but what a shock, I’m having issues with my secondary insurance. My card they say is for dental insurance. They don’t have me listed on the insurance website as active and my card is invalid. That means that the few places I have used my secondary insurance won’t get paid and I will…
Besides my Linkin Park, U2 and Red, I love Eminem. Dr. Dre says when Eminem came into the recording studio and heard the riff to this song, he just started spewing out the Slim Shady lyrics. He was that quick and fast with he’s rap and understands beats. So today I’m going way back with the real Slim Shady so please stand up, please stand up, please stand up. https://youtu.be/l7KEuKKuuasThe Real Slim ShadySong by EminemMay I have your attention please?May…
This will be brief because I don’t have too much energy for concentration. I just can’t get out of the migraine cycle. I took my migraine pill yesterday didn’t help. Took it again today and that’s really not good. I take a preventative medicine for migraines, Topiramate. I’ve been taking Topiramate for 4 years increasing from 25mg to my current dosage of 75mg. My doctor just increased the dosage and the times I take it. Now I’m taking 100mg but…
Taking a decompression day. Migraine day 3. My migraines aren’t usually to the degree that I need to be in bed but when you’ve had this underlying pain in your head for days, you start to go somewhat mad. That’s how I feel today. My right eye is slightly twitching and the dull constant pain is just making me crazy. So I’m “out to lunch” for the day. Will take one of the 6 migraine pills I’m given each month…
I went to my friends house yesterday for an impromptu get together for the Fourth of July. It was extremely hot which I know is difficult for me with MS. However, I really wanted to go at least for a little while. I would’ve been fine in the heat if it wasn’t for my bladder. For some reason yesterday, I had to pee every hour. Not that that’s the worst thing in the world, except she has steps. I had…
