First, I've missed you all very much. I've been thinking of you all and hoping that things are getting better for you all. And a belated happy holidays and happy new year to you all.
I've been in hospitals for 3 weeks.
1. Parnate caused Rhabdomyolysis; put me in the hospital for a week, part of that time in the ICU in a coma. They told me I'mm lucky to be alive. And that I'm lucky that my kidney function recovered.
2. Just one day after being home after the delightful Rhabdo experience, I developed excruciating abdominal pain. I was screaming it hurt to bad. So I took an overdose of Klonopin (23mg) solely in an effort to try to become unconscious and escape the pain. I realized quickly what a boneheaded move it was and threw them up. But pain got even worse so hubby took me back to ER, and b/c he was so scared, told them about the Klonopin. It was decided by all the staff that it was a suicide eattempt, no matter what I told them. They would give me no pain meds. Spent night in ICU with a nurse that had absolutely no compassion for me, in fact she disdained me. After an MRI they determined it was a bad case of biliary colic and that my gallbladder had to be removed.
3. While at hospital for number 2, an utter *ssh*l* of a pdoc had me commited to a psych hospital b/c of my "suicide attempt" If he had listened he would have known it absolutely was not a suicide attempt; in fact, I am scared to die. Spent a week at the psych hospital. Started on a low dose of Wellbutrin, which helps my depression a bit but gives me bad anxiety. Pdoc is calling in an order for Teegretol to try to help my anxiety. Finally discharged from hospital the day before tomorrow.
4. I get home after discharge only for us to find out that very night that one of our beloved cats, Jack, has probable lymphoma. I am devastated.
I feel destroyed.
But at least I am home.
Thanks for listening and reading my long post. Once again, I truly hope you are all feeling better. There just has to be an answer for each one of us. Take good care of yourselves everyone.
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
