I started freezing halfway into dialysis treatment today, so took temp, it was up 3 degrees so Charge Nurse covered me more, called Dr who told her to draw cultures so that was done and since those take time he told her to give me antibiotics in my veinous line at the end of D and then I had to sit for 30 min to make sure no reactions. If the wheels had not been locked I think the chair would have gone across the room. No reactions after 30 min so I got to go home, turned on the electric blanket and crawled in. Slept an hour and woke up with a sore throat, headache and generally feeling like :puke; and that was it for sleep. If I can't fall asleep in a few hours I will break down and take something and see how it goes. Must have been a fast hit something. I just want to curl up in a ball somewhere. :puke;
-
:grouphug; feel better soon.
-
Hope you feel better today G-Ma and that it was just a fast moving bug.
-
if you have fever - why would the nurse give you more blankets
we freeze in our unit so the techs do not get too hot because they have to wear those yellow jackets or cover ups -
during two treatment I almost asked to get off early ----I was freezing---- shaking with cold
I hope you are better - seems like there is a bug going around in our unit
curl up in a ball and sleep
-

:grouphug; G-Ma. Hope you are feeling better. Let us know. :cuddle;
-
These things hit fast and hard sometimes. I hope you feel better soon.
-
thank you so much...I feel better just knowing you care. I finally took 1 lunesta, 1 benadryl, 1/2 Ambian at 8 am and whoopee...slept until 12:30 noon, got up ate a bit, my throat is so sore and I'm going to lay down again. :waving;
-
Sounds like a nasty cold or maybe even the flu. You are probably doing exactly the right things: Getting plenty of rest and treating the symptoms.
I hope you are feeling better soon! :)
-
Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope you get over whatever it is, and fast. :grouphug;
-
Sorry to hear it. Hope you're feeling better now that it's been about 24 hours.

Hope you're feeling better soon. It's fascinating how one D day we go home and can take on the world, and another D day we get home, crawl under a blanket and try to sleep. Ups and downs; it's not just a racetrack :rofl;
-
Thank you all so much for caring. I slept off and on most of the day and am feeling much better. Whatever iit is must have hit and is crawling away. :bandance;
-
here's hoping it crawls away and dies. hope tomorrow finds you feeling much better.

Are you allowed to take aspirin or advil? I find it helps my throat feel less sore.

G-Ma :cuddle; glad you are feeling a little bit better. :waving;

Hope you are feeling better. :cuddle;

How are you feeling today, G-Ma? I hope it's starting to go away.
-
Hang in there and feel better soon. King Leon sends royal kisses and wishes for speedy recovery. :grouphug;
-
Well, I think """it's"""" on its way out. I just woke myself up choking and choking so got up to clear my throat, take tylenol...can't take anything else and I'll catch up on IHD then go back to bed. Thank you so much for all you wishes. I believe they are what helped me most. Please give King Leon a hug for me, I'm sure that will help immensely. :bow;
-
Glad to hear "it's" on it's way out. Make sure you get some rest!! Hope you are back to normal soon

Thanks drinkboy...I'm not sure what normal is anymore :rofl; I choke everytime I lay down so I've been sitting up...I'm going to try the recliner in a few minutes..I will be glad when "this" is gone. Thanks paddbear as well as anyone else.
