Black outs

[jennylynch]

I went almost two weeks with no black outs. this morning was getting my daughter ready for school and she had just left i went to the bathroom and woke up on the floor. dang it. there goes my driving privileges again. does any one use anything to prevent their falling before surgery. or any way to stay safe from these things. i sure hurt myself today got a huge bruise on my side and hit my head on the bathroom sink. anything you do to stay safe would be great thanks.

Thank you i honestly dont have time for the er this weekend im taking all the precautions i can. i am taking musenex and drinking extra fluid and using a albuterol breathing treatment until monday when i can call the dr. i have 6 kids this weekend and a daughter that just had tonsils out and she is also really sick she has the same cough and cold. wow never thought in life i may have to put my health up first. it used to be the last thing i worried about but the way it looks im gonna have to change that

If you have continued issues with swallowing you need to got to the er.  If you get a cough or feel like you have fluid in your lungs go the hospital. When you get swallowing problems you can get  pneumonia easily due to fluid being able to "go down the wrong way" and it can be very dangerous.

I am scared to go to the er. I have been going there alot before my diagnoses for all my pains and symptoms because nothing done helps and we had no answers. now i feel that we have an answer to the pain they are gonna not treat me or treat me wrong.. Will the er be able to help me at all is my problem. we have waisted so much time in the er for them to tell me oh u pulled a muscle for my neck and arm pain..

That is RIDICULOUS!!! They should have you seeing a specialist today!! Your symptoms are now compromising your safety and they shouldn't be ignored. Have you thought about going to the ER if you black out again?? That is one way to get the attention you need right now!!

  I would tell ur Dr...I choose to come to u, and I pay u to get me the best care, I would appreciate u working with me on this....and , that if they want u to go to this other dr, fine, as long as u can also get an opinion from  the dr u selected.....otherwise u can fire  this dr and get a new one...I would not tell him that...or do nething until u find a new one, but they do work fur us.,...not the other way round,.
