Jean in Newcastle Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I came down with some kind of virus two days ago. It's been really tough - very bad muscle pain, high fever and tightness in the chest. Dd8 was home from church with me this morning when I couldn't breathe. I could not talk and all I could do was to sort of grunt. She was terrified and was crying while trying to call my dh who was preaching. We were able to get a hold of him to tell him to meet us at the ER. I drove myself there and got chewed out for it. My breathing and heart rate are sky high. I had a breathing treatment but they are not totally sure what I have. It's not an identifiable flu. My breathing and heart rate are still high (the breathing treatment made it even higher). I'm going to go lie down now. Please pray for me - esp. that I can get some sleep sometime because the pain and difficulty breathing has meant that I've only gotten a couple of hours sleep.

NoPlaceLikeHome Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 You may need prednisone for this as well:grouphug: If it does not get better or worse please do not hesitate to go back to the ER. They may also give you a script for your own nebulizer and albuterol. It is a life saver to have your own machine imo. You can even get them on amazon very cheaply to buy to have on hand. I hope you feel better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Oh no, Jean! I'm so sorry to hear this!!! Could it possibly pneumonia? Did they run tests? I hope and pray you sleep tonight and are feeling better in the morning!!!:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: They did chest x-rays which did not show pneumonia. They did test for swine, and inflluenza A & B and those were negative. I'm praying right now. I'm sure they'll be able to help you soon. I would push for an EKG (is that what they're called?) They did an EKG. They were most concerned about my heart since I was tachycardic. I have not moved from my armchair since coming home. I need to get some more motrin to try and reduce my fever. I am sitting here with sweat running off of me and my fever is still too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 :grouphug: And give yourself time to recover. It can take weeks. Any fruitpops in the house? When people are so sick they have no appetite, fruit ice-pops are good to suck. You need to keep fluids going in if you are febrile. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
