worry bout the money needed to pay the bills AFTER you get better. your health is more important than money. keep us posted. 

Yama, it's too easy to take another Vicodin or a shot or both when something hurts or is scary to face, but I almost crashed and burned taking ibuprofen for a sore back that was really a kidney, and thinking my severe chills were just that I couldn't afford to run the heat (December in SoCal) and that work was more important that seeing a dr. I couldn't pay. I thought I was dizzy because I wasn't eating much because I fed my old dog first. I thought I was having severe night sweats that soaked my clothes and the sheets because I piled on too many blankets for the chills. No, I was running a spiking fever! Like 102 when it went up. It was one of the roughest times of my life. BUT if I hadn't decided to listen to that inside vice that said "You are really sick!" and gone to the ER, I would not be here now, I would not have the best buddy I have now in my hubby, I would not have gotten to know my Mom better, and I would have not been there to take care of my dog until she died, or my friends who needed me desperately years later.

So there are reasons to make sure you stick around. You just may not know what they all are yet.

So you can see there are people here who care enough to tell you just how to get help, and who are worrying about you, now let them know you care enough about them to go take care of yourself!

Okay, that was my "mom" type rant.  Now go get your x-rays and your antibiotics, and your Glucophage or whatever!

no glucophage here. im on the pump, and insulin, still in teh process of trying to find out. where to get the xray from. seems the only wy ill get it done there, is to go to the ER again. i want to avoid that if at all possible

update: went to ER today, symptoms somewhat on teh return.i tried local hospitals, no dice. nothign to compare new xray to , spent 2 hours on phone, and finally went back to original hosp and soonest i can get in is monday at 6am. im going to go on tuesday, ive GOT to help my father monday. one day wont kill me

I dunno dude , illness Makes u so much weaker , in the mind and body ,

i walk 20 miles aday , and lift stuff all the time , i caught a bug .. * at first thought to be menigitous * because of my intense sympotoms, and i turn from what i am , to hurting to walk , sweating pints , not eating , throwing up , etc and then after 3 days later i was fine ,

Hope u get better 

if it works out good, my ass is getting drunk tuesday night to celebrate 

If all goes good , Ill get u a Beer on the night  ull have to gimme ur paypal to sort u out a Pint of The finest

if it goes good ( which im hoping it does, ill close this thread, as drunk as i can stand, ) wiht a bunch of screwy emotes err smilies idk, anyhoo, ill see 

It will be fine 

im hopin so, but heh teh hangovers would suck tho

update: went today, got teh xray done. i asked if i could see them, they said, we want teh doc to see them first, im like ummmm k? ehhh i hate not knowin , although im going  to assume all is well

If it was bad they would have mentioned something

Sounds gd 2 me buddy 

hope all goes well 

when is the dr going to let you know

well they are ( even wit their education) just rdiological techs. i had seen the originals. from teh first of april. ( when i was in teh hospital) i saw the mass err clouded area, doc scary was referrring to. i just wanted to compare that pic, from emmory to the recent one. , they wouldnt let me do it , idk office visits run, around 65-75, so if i must, ill find someone involved with that hospital, whether there, or tehir office, and set up an appointment of some sort

yama, I feel for ya, but you have to start taking care of yourself. serously. that means your meds, all the things you need to take care of yourself become a priority. there are programs to get some of it free. My mom has been disbetic for 30+ years and about 5 yrs ago lost use of her kidneys. she's not in good shape these days. she didnt take her condition seriously enough.
take care of yourself. You mean a lot to many people. okay, not here but somewhere, lol...

lol pablo, if i would have realised thenhow prophetic ths statement was at that time
