So about 3-4 years ago I had a real bad back pain, it was hard to walk, drive, or anything else for that matter. I would lay down and couldn't get up.
Two days later I started comming down with flu like symptoms, I was sneezing, headaches, coughing, my fever was 104.1 and would go down after I slept (I was so cold, I slept under 3 blankets, two pants, 2 shirts, and a sweater) I stopped eating, I just didn't have an apitite.
I told my dad i needed to go to the doctor, he was shocked because I NEVER ask to go to the dr (I was in and out of the hosp. a lot as a kid, because of my ears, and then I had mononucleosis)
So that Monday (5 days later) he took me to a local clinic, and the nurse tapped my back, I flew off that table I was in so much pain. She did a urine sample and my keystones were spilling over, she did a blood test and my BP was 280/80.
About 30 minutes later I was sitting in the waiting room for an ultrasound, everywhere they even slightly touched hurt so bad. They did the test and I went home and went to bed.
About 2 hours later I woke up to my dad screaming at me, It scared me half to death, just the sound of the worry in his voice. He told me that I was going to be admited under emergency stat into the hospital. They offered to send an ambulance, but my dad wanted to take me.
I started crying, and my dad had a few tears in his eyes on the way there (and if you know my dad, he NEVER cries) I was scared and neither of us knew what was going on.
So we got to the hospital and they gave me a potassium drink along with the IV. Your normal potassium level is between .5 and .7, if it gets too low your body stops functioning, mine was at .2.
They did a catscan and ran more blood tests on me. Turns out my kidneys were almost to the point of shut down, and my liver was swollen. They gave me hospital strength vicadin which is supposed to last 6-8 hours, it only lasted 3
The pain was horrendus.
So 3 days and 2 nights in the hospital, and no-one could figure out what happend, the insurance would only cover me for that long, so I got sent home with meds, I got better, and still to this day, have no clue what happend.
Anyone else have weird experiences???
