10-29-06 A trip to the ER

Last night, out of nowhere...I got very very ill. :car:

 

I had a very severe case of diaherra for about two hours which left me slipping in and out of consciousness. My boyfriend wound up taking me to the ER b/c we weren't sure what was going to happen. I was white as a ghost, my blood pressure and heart rate dropped, my temp was low and I was losing control of my hearing and vision. A very, very scary experience...I was so scared as to what was going to happen. The ER doctor wasnt able to diagnose me with anything, but kept me for a while in order to rehydrate me with an IV, I was severly dehydrated. I have been feeling ok, just weak and a bit out of it. I hope this experience doesnt affect anything with me being banded...:drum:

Thank you for asking. I am doing better today. I went back to work right after the weekend since I was feeling fine. Yesterday I did feel weak and a bit dizzy, but I just made it through the day. I am under a lot of emotional stress right now, so maybe that had something to do with it? Who know!
