  • Thanks.

    I've been worrying about whether it could come back. I didn't think to ask at the time as I was too tired and unwell. I suppose if it does, I know what it is next time, I was worried this time that it was a heart attack as the symptoms were just like heart attack symptoms are described. But I don't know what I'll do of it does come back as I'm now having allergic reactions to strong painkillers. Just one more thing to worry about.

  • I became ill on Saturday night and developed a terrible pain all down my left arm and into my back and neck. Painkillers didn't help and I was having trouble breathing, my heart was racing. Eventually the pain got so unbearable I called the NHS non-emergency number for advice and they sent an ambulance. I got carted off to hospital at like 3.45am and had three ECGs, two sets of blood tests and various examinations. My oxygen was worryingly low and my heart rate was far too high. The pain was so severe I was given multiple doses of morphine and eventually had an allergic reaction to the morphine. The reaction was treated and eventually they diagnosed the problem, it was being caused by nerves in my neck and was a complication from my previous stroke. I finally got discharged at 11am, went home and slept all Sunday.

    A stroke really is the gift that keeps on giving! I didn't even know you could have such terrible and sudden problems from a stroke you'd had several years previously. And now morphine is off the table in future.

    The only bright spot in my weekend is that I came online to find my food aid request had been answered, so at least that's one worry off my plate. Still need help with transport though. And I have an awful headache and still feel ill so can't write much more now.

  • I know "woman bad" but how did vaginas get such a bad rep, they're wonderful and I love them.

  • yep. I hate having these body parts, nothing but a painful nuisance.

  • Honestly the best scenario for me would be told I have stage 4 cancer. Get some palliative care to ease the pain and have this shitty life over.

  • This might sound insane, but I'm hoping the scan does show something, even something bad. At least it would be an explanation, and would mean they could treat it and maybe these symptoms would finally go away. To stay in a state of limbo where I have these symptoms and nothing can be done, is too awful. It's like when they took three and a half years to diagnose my thyroid cancer, I was relived to have an explanation, and prove to everyone I'm not just a hypochondriac.

    Anyway the antibiotic sachet they gave me yesterday didn't work and gave me a terrible rash and hives, with the worst diarrhoea I've ever had. The bladder calming tablets did nothing too. When the doctor calls back I will insist on seeing a urologist but she will probably say no again. And the waiting list is probably a year long.

    Someone finally came through with a sainsburys gift card that I can hopefully stretch out for 2 weeks but I'll have to keep reposting because if I wait until that has run out and then struggle to get another reply, what will I do? I think mutual aid is almost dead now, it seems like hardly anyone is able to help any more, there are lots of people not getting a reply. I really thought mutual aid would keep me going until my appeal in january, but now it doesn't look like help will keep coming for much longer.

    If you have any idea what my symptoms could mean, do tell me because it's something I can ask the doctor about.

  • Lead made people more violent, i wonder what plastics will do

    Jump

  • My understanding is plastics affect hormones. So I guess we all become androgynous and intersex.

  • Well I got my urine sample results back. It showed "mixed growth." The doctor says this probably means it just got contaminated somehow, but I googled it and it says this could mean I'm infected with multiple strains of bacteria, or be a sign or underlying urinary tract abnormalities. Anyway she said she will leave a sachet of antibiotic and some tablet to calm the bladder. Knowing my luck, I'll get side effects. She said she also did a test for "ovarian marker" whatever that is, and it's elevated, which "could be nothing, or could indicate a tumour." She said she's going to arrange for me to have an urgent ultrasound to check. Meanwhile I'm still awake all night, going to the toilet constantly and just really stressed about the whole thing. My urine smells bad and is very yellow no matter how much water I drink, i really do think it's an infection.

    And on top of all this I'm no longer getting any mutual aid donations. I got some towards my transport costs, then it just dried up. I've not had a single response to my food aid request, despite reposting multiple times, and no more towards the transport. At this rate I'll have to spend the transport money I got on food, then how will I get to my hospital appointments?

    Oh god, why does life have to be so endlessly, incessantly shit? So anyway, how is everyone else?

  • Yeah I'd give the film a 3/10 maybe. The book was a definite 10/10. They are two totally separate things in my eyes.

  • Would anyone send me a supermarket gift card? - No response to this at all yet.
