I had noted last week my bp was dropping steadily, and had for over a week. It was down to 88/43, when my fiancee came and took me to ER.
Turns out not only was I overloaded with fluids, I was losing blood, a lot.  I was there all weekend, from Friday afternoon til Monday afternoon.
I am very shaky still, but, my bp is better, and my UF on the cycler was 1000!!!  YAY!!! 

I ended up getting 4 units of blood, my count was 4.5!!!!  I felt better, when there, though shaky. The hard part was when I had to go to the
bathroom, I had to push 3 IV stands with me!!!  Ick.  Diarrhea is NOT fun anyway, but when you can't hurry....ugh!!

I am back to work, the dr advised that I stay home yesterday, I'm glad I did, I was so shaky. 

So now I call my gyno, and set up an appointment to have my uterine wall's lining taken out one way or the other.  Too many fibroids, apparently.  ANOTHER round of procedures to endure. I am tired of this guys. Of being sick. Of having procedures done. Going to the
hospital going to the doctor. Getting more medicine. Missing work!!!! 

Okay. I'm done bitching.  I'm just glad to be back with you guys!! I missed ya!!!!

Anne, I am SO sorry you're having to go through this. I can totally relate to the "sick of being sick" stuff. I was in the hospital once, and laying in the bed crying to my parents that I was so sick of all this. I was in my mid-twenties, and I think it was the first time I had ever let it out about how I really felt about all this. We've all either been there or will hit that wall eventually. Trust me, it gets better. You'll get past this bump in the road and feel much better. I'm glad you're home and on the mend. I'm also glad your fiance was there to get you to the ER. Take care of yourself!  :cuddle;

So far it is, little by little! The hard part was that my fiancee lives 90 minutes away, on the other side (west) of Indianapolis, I'm on the
northeast side away from Indianapolis!

So....he left work Friday morning to come and take me to ER. He was mad because NOBODY else had stepped in to do so. I had no
awareness by that time. It was a concentrate on living.  Barely coherent.  I really was bad down in ER, a couple of times i was very
welll, I hate to say hysterical, but I had held it in for so long, that I was finally able to just let go.  Once I did, and got it out of my system,
so to speak, I was able to communicate a little better.

I understand hysterical in the ER.  The ER tends to make you crazy anyway!  I hope you are feeling better.

MyssAnne at least you're over this bump.  Get those fibroids taken care of and you'll be on your way.
Saying prayers for you.
