MightyMouse Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Mary, now I'm starting to really worry... you okay? Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mary from OH Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 OK, I ended up in the hospital again, but this time not for paralysis! I decided to mix things up a little bit!! This time I was going in to my PCP's office because I developed bronchitis very suddenly (again). I don't understand it. Most people who get bronchitis are sick with a cold or something first, it worsens, etc., then it turns to bronchitis... Not me, I literally go straight to it!! I developed it later on Sun afternoon/evening last weekand went 1st thing Monday morning. When I was in the exam room waiting, I started having a massive coughing attack and could NOT catch my breath. I literally could not breathe, I was SO scared!! Fortunately, the dr came walking in right at that moment. He looks up at me from my chart and says, "how are we doing today?" I manage to squeak out "can't breath!" He looks in my throat and says don't worry we'll take care of you! He hollers for a RN and gets O2 and a breathing trt and calls 911. I have never been so scared in my life. I just kept clutching his hand if he tried to move. I didn't want to die alone. Anyhow. My drs office and the Medics took great care of me!! Now, the hospital.... that's another story!! I ended up back at my PCP's office because I was still feeling lousy and running a fever on Friday and found out that I also have a viral infection of my vocal chords. She thinks that this was complicating things and that I also have an underlying vocal chord problem! She said that (at some point) I should get it evaluated by an ENT, etc. but that I have "more than enough on my plate right now".I also had several EMG's this week. Some peripheral neuropathy of sensory nerves and I have end-organ damage, but no idea why.I have my Brain MRI this week.I thank God that February is over!! March is a new month! A month of new beginnings... I'm fried!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
