IrishGirl ~ To Continue.......

SydneyH — Sun, 13 Apr 2014 23:15:20 GMT

our chat, no. I've heard everything from Lime's Disease to possible liver issues? My white blood cells are off. I couldn't even lift my body out of bed at one point. Enough of my woes, when's Finnegan due?

Sydney, what's this! I'm sorry to read that you're sick.

Are you on antibiotics? (referring to your white blood cells)

Is there someone to help you with the kids and all?

Oh gosh Sydney. I figured you were on vacation or something. Do you have anymore appts scheduled or specialist to see? My white blood cell count was over 60,000 and normal range is between 4,500 and 10,000 I think so I know exactly what you mean when you say you could not lift your body out of bed, I felt the same. I felt the worst I have ever felt and I am so sorry you had to go through that. I hope they can figure this out soon. Keep us updated if it isn't too personal.

Finnegan will be here the first week of July. I am going nuts. I can't wait for the little guy to get here. My daughter had such morning sickness she had to be hospitalized for a couple of days but everything is great now. At her doctors appt this week they told her she just gained her first 4 lbs but they insist everything is ok. She is just now showing.

A week from last Saturday. I thought I had food poisoning so of course I waited for it to pass but got progressively worse. I finally forced myself to go the PA and have had three blood tests and a liver ultrasound scheduled tomorrow. I've lost 7 lbs so far and she's threatening to have me admitted if I don't start seriously eating.

Oh dear. I will pray for you friend, right now.

Let us know if there is any way we can help. Noel and I know a bit about this health stuff.

Are you getting enough to eat and drink? I know it is hard when you don't feel well. I hope your family is catering to you!

Re: IrishGirl ~ To Continue.......

I'm not diagnosing you but my husband had a high white cell count and an episode of what we thought was food poisoning. Then days later he began having some abdominal pain. He was treated for a kidney infection and then for kidney stones...just a thought. Drink water.

Oh, honey, this has to be so difficult for you and your family. Prayers for a speedy diagnosis and recovery.

Oddly enough, only the teen is acting like I should be making steak diane every night when I am supposed to be in bed. I don't know if he's obtuse or simply frightened. I keep telling him I will be fine but he needs to fix his own meals for awhile and watch his sibling. No meds yet, but I'm about to request some to keep whatever this is at bay. I think I may have even passed out while doing laundry in my room. I remember folding the clothes, putting them in piles..........then I woke up and I was on top of the clothes. I have no idea how much time elapsed, but I doubt I decided to take a nap that way.

Sorry I put the thing about eating and drinking before I saw your post. That is a lot to lose in a week. She is probably worried you are dehydrated. Please do not fight her if she ask you to go into the hospital. They have wifi and you can chat with us when you are bored! LOL! Ive done that every time I have been in the hospital (if I was well enough) and it does make the time go faster.

This is worrisome. Did you tell your doctor about this? And what in the HE LL are you doing folding laundry? Your family can pick up the slack for a while.

don't wait too long Sydney...

Is your husband around, Sydney? It does not sound like you should be alone.

Sydney I'm so so sorry to read this, I really hope everything turns out okay for you.

This was while I was in my 'denial' stage, it was sometime last week, before I finally sought medical treatment. I have been driving very little and I'm only alone for a few hours during the day. I honestly think the worst has passed but I have all these tests tomorrow, hopefully it will give them a direction to take. No stomach pains, no chest pains, no more lightheadiness either, thankfully.

Sydney: I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. You've been missed here. Glad you're having a good day and hope you continue to recover.

LOL! Denial stage, I love it. I can just picture you waking up on a big pile of laundry, like what happened? Sometimes you don't know they you have passed out because you have no memory of feeling lightheaded or funny. Anyway, I am glad you are out of denial stage and feeling a little better. Please keep us posted ma'am!

Both my husband and I have had kidney stones, there was no difference with our white cells.

Or did I miss the connection?
