I'd have to say this has been the one of the crappiest weeks of my life.
I've spent two different days in the emergency room this week, as well as countless hours crying my sore butt off. I"m still one of those "undiagnosed" Chronies, I know I have it, they just haven't caught it. So, I went from 143 last week down to 129 today. They gave me a few different types of anti Nausea, one called Pro-er pry something er other, made me go crazy, threw that away. Then they gave me something that is related to Valium, which has helped with my anxiety (I've been freaking out, thinking I'm dying, well when you drop that way who doesn't freak out)
Since my side has been hurting so bad I decided to just go all liquid.
I've been taking lots of supplements and drinking 4 350 calorie Ensure Plus for the past few days. My problem is, I'm still dropping weight, and I've got pretty much just liquid diarrhea.
I'm uninsured, so when I get sick, I just end up in the hospital where they fill me full of fluids, then give me some anti nausea and discharge me. Thankfully my girlfriend called up my old GI who I had when I was on medical assistance to make an appointment (They wanted me to come see them in September) She told them the way I was going I'd be dead by next week.
So, now I have an appointment Wednesday. *Phew* Anyways, does anyone else have issues with Ensure? I'm drinking the Chocolate ones, should I try Vanilla? Or is this just usual when you flare and I'm going to just have to wait it out. Never knew my butt could hurt so bad. Thank goodness for Preperation H! And thank goodness for these forums, I'd probably have been much worse off if it wasn't for all the great info here.
