I went to the Urgent Care on Saturday morning and was immediately sent to the ER. Â I was admitted immediately as I’m having chest pressure, fever, stomach pain, nausea, severe headache all new or increased issues.
I was dehydrated, my potassium levels were low, pain and nausea was subsided with IV medication but it’s all back. Â They wanted to keep me but there was no way I would have been able to sleep in the busy hall with the three mental health patients and the lady who was continually retching. Â I went back the next morning for more tests and found that I have sludge in my gallbladder in addition to my liver enzymes being up. Â So more tests because the chest pressure is still there and pericardia is what they suspect which is something that happens with lupus.
Just want to give a quick update on me. Â I’m seriously so over being constantly sick and people saying but you don’t look sick.

Was it a gallbladder attack? They can have horrible chest pain and stomach cramps.
2015-09-21 at 17:32No it’s lupus related but I have sludge in my gallbladder

2015-09-23 at 01:16I get another shot in my hip tomorrow
2015-09-22 at 22:54I hate those. Are they helping at all?
2015-09-23 at 01:16Left yes, but right is a touch up
2015-09-23 at 03:49Do you want a spoon? Today is a good day.
2015-09-23 at 14:57So far so good! Leaving soon to go to the Rhuemy
2015-09-23 at 15:17Good luck.
2015-09-23 at 15:18I’m with you in spirit.
How was your appointment?
2015-09-23 at 21:33It was good, taper off the the Prednisone in a week, shot went a little more forward, he was just as baffled by my issues & they still can’t figure out why the high fever
2015-09-23 at 22:13I’m baffling apparently
I’ve been for years. Some of us run high fever more than others.
2015-09-24 at 00:21Keep me update . When you feel like it.
I will
2015-09-24 at 00:32Writing the day as a full day for today’s 101
I gather our assignment is to write about a day in our life.
2015-09-24 at 01:22I haven’t check it out as yet. LOL
Yeah started and now bed alarm set for 8 am
2015-09-24 at 01:27Ugh! I kind of hated hitting “Like” for for this post! I feel for you. Hospitals are definitely not fun. I’m certainly not in your shoes, but I do have an autoimmune “condition”–i live in a medical Black Hole, so that’s the best they can do. It’s not Lupus, though. But I definitely do have Migraine and have since I was about 9. A few weeks ago, one broke through the countless medications I take and BOTOX shots that was bad enough to send me to the ER. Well, it was like a Hillbilly Hoedown in there. (I live in East Tennessee.) I waited forever, vomiting periodically, until it was go home try not to OD on phenergan and demerol or kill someone, so I went home.
Anyway, I so hate hospitals.
Gosh, I think I just found my idea for today’s Writing 101 assignment.
2015-09-23 at 14:52I’ve been to the hospital for migraines- zofran & diludid is the combo that works best for them
2015-09-23 at 15:16What sucks about autoimmune is one usually means more down the road
I know. 🙁 Yeah, that’s what usually end up with–finally–that ends up working. I have the DHE45 and Ketorlac to inject myself with at home, so I’m pretty desperate by the time I go to the hospital.
2015-09-23 at 16:51I swear when I get to insulin I’m gonna cry I have a hard enough time checking my sugar
2015-09-24 at 00:15Hope you feel better soon:/
