Really do not want to go to Er. I have no insurance. I tried to make a appointment with a health clinic that you pay with guidelines of your income. I have to send them paperwork which I did today, but they have to call me to make an appointment which could take weeks. Help guys, what are your thoughts? Is this a bad flare or something else? I swear my local hospital probably thinks I am a hypochondriac.One of the male Dr's knows me by name. He is very understanding and caring. This past week I went to the Er and was treated like crap. I sat in the Er for over 3 hours and was never seen. I decided to leave and went home to deal with the pain on my own. The nurse was awful, she did not care about my symptom's or the fact I was running a temp. My bp is usually 98/75 that day it was 130/85. Hello, I was in obvious pain. Did she think I was seeking drugs? I do not care, I hate that fuzzy feeling the drugs give me, but it helps. I am a mother of 4 who needs to take care of her children. I can not do this when I flare. So here is what has conspired over the past 2 weeks
Pain started on August 23 Friday night.
7 bowel movements throughout the night
Low abdominal pain (burning, stretching feeling)
Following morning pain subsided but still had a lot of bowel movements
Pain continued through the week but did not continue, I used heating blankets and IB Profin
Sun Sept 1, woke up in horrible pain on left lower abdomen it shot towards the left side of my back
I also had a burning sensation on my left breast bone shooting from lower left to the breast bone.
I took a few antacids and used a heating blanket.
Mon Sept 2, went to the grocery store I had to immediately leave due to stabbing pain in lower left abdomen, I could hardly walk.
I drove myself up the street to Huber Health center. I sat in the er for over 3 hours and within that time the pain subsided and I left without being seen.
Tues, Wed, Thurs bouts of diarrhea maybe 7-10 a day. I have been drinking alot of water. This is when I noticed I am not I have not pee'd as often as I should.
Thurs Night could not sleep. Ran a temp of 100.6. Took a tramadol which did not help. I took a hot bath, and sat with a heating blanket.
Fri morning the pain subsided a little but there was still a lot of pain, I have used the restroom well over 10 times in the past 5 hours. When I pee I have to push it out and it burns. The pain is now across my lower abdomin burning, stabbing, contraction, hurts to walk pain. Nothing is helping. I have a lot of nausea, although I have not thrown up. My fever as of 3:16 p.m is 101. Took a midol at 3:20. Heatburn from hell.
