im bored im in the hospital, they do not know whats wrong with me.
They told me "I think u have infection"...pertonis or whaterever
but my bags are clear and labs came back fine.... so i have this over extended belly, pain, and they dont know why. I might have a hernia, but that shouldnt cause the swelling all over the place. And i couldnt fill myself with pd fluid (the reason i came to ED in the first place) they squeezed pushed prodded until they filled me....
Also my fistula is now hurting.... swollen very sore. havent used it in like a month.
-
I am sorry to hear. Please keep us posted.
-
Ouch.. hope they figure it out soon and get to the bottom of it. peritonitis can be miserable, maybe you caught it early. Hope you are back on your feet in no time. :grouphug;
-
best wishes and let us know how you are doing
-
i guess i have a hernia, and some sort of infection thats like a UTI but in my tummy. One dose should clear it up.... but we stilldont know why im all swollen. Tomorrow i get to have something done to my fistula to check it out....
-
:flower; :flower; :flower; hope you feel better soon.
-

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems. I know how unnerving it can be when the physicians are baffled as to what's wrong.
Please keep us posted as to your progress.

Best wishes and keep us up to date.

Oh that is awful. Hope they get it straightened out soon and you feel better.

Im at home now!
I had two angioplasties done on my fistula, they said that they did the ebst they could. I had a 99% blockage in part of it. It hurt so bad! I was in twilight supposedly but i felt it all!
They put my on vanco just to be sure, even though the tests said i do not infact have an infection!!! WOOT Go me!
-
I am glad you are home.
-
Home sweet home :yahoo;
-
Go YOU,indeed!!
-
im a little worried that they may have... f***ed me up.... My arm doesnt look too pretty.... And the drs pa said "He feels he did the best he could do" thats just not sitting well with me.
-
How's your thrill?
-
They called me this morning, And now i have to go there at 1030 am, Apparently i may be correct.
I feel the thrill, but just barely. where before it was extremely promin.
My hand is ice cold, the bruising is about to where "3/4 sleeve" shirts are, where my surgery was up nearish my armpit.... And its Fushia! my arm isfushia! and purple and blue lol so pretty... if it werent my arm...
it hurts really really bad too.
-
OMGoodness. I hope you get this straightened out soon and back to feeling better. I'm sorry you're going through these problems. One day at a time.... Times like this can be so overwhelming. Take a deep breath to clear your mind
-
Apparently all is normal, it still hurts and they said it will continue to hurt until the fistula dies...
still no answer on the swelling in my tummy. I hate doctors
-
fistula ... dies? brrrr!
I found this comment from awhile back http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=5164.msg316973#msg316973 (http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=5164.msg316973#msg316973)
I couldn't hear or feel mine. The surgeon put gel on my arm and used an ultrasound thing to listen to it. He said I wouldn't hear or feel it because it was so deep. Below my fistula, my arm was week and cold. So I knew the blood was being diverted. It clotted off a week later, my strength and warmth came back.
maybe, clotted off, or other kinds of finishing (dead???) is the same, you end up with the blood, strength and warmth back for the rest of your arm?
-
Yes, thats what it does i guess, clotts off until its no longer usable....
i hope it doesnt take long, numb cold swollen hands are very annoying and difficult to use lol
