Today's trip to the ER

[giza]

First, thanks to those who replied to my last post. All of the advice and suggestions were appreciated.

Today I made it into work and just felt... wrong. I was still having balance issues and I just couldn't concentrate on anything. After a bit, I called my doctor's office and they told me to go straight to the ER (do not pass go, do not collect $200).

I went and over several hours had some tests done, among them a CAT scan. The good news is that I'm not dying from anything. They ruled out issues such as cancer, encephalitis, and the like. Unfortunately, they did not come up with an actual diagnosis. So I got referred to an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialist.

More information as I get it.

Oh man I wish I read your post yesterday. Wednesdays are my busyest, so forgive me for not offering help.

You know I only live 20 mins away, so I can come by and help whenever you need it, but I don't know if I can move out just yet. I really hope that you start feeling better, you have my condolances.

I'd come down this weekend but as I've already told you (I think) I have my grandparents anniversary party to go to. But if you need me to come by any other time, its not too far.

Keep in touch

Eh, I'm unfamiliar with what the problem is (not friended, so I can't read stuff, but no worries... I'm pretty sure my journal has little to interest you), but I wish ya good health, and that you learn quickly whatever is bothering you.

*prays for ya*

Oh boy! That doesn't sound good!
It sounds like your body is upset with you!
Maybe try eating really heathy for a few days!
... and drink JUST water as a drink!
My mom would probably say: maybe you have a vitimum or minerial deficency...
but the hospital should have picked up on that if that was the case.

Maybe you overworked yourself? Not enough sleep maybe?

Good luck! :)

good to see it isn't anything serious. Heres to hoping it is something common and anti-biotic fixible.

I just thought of something... didn't you recently start taking some medication for sleeping? Maybe you're having a reaction to your medication?

Good point, but we ruled that out during today's visit.

Meh... Hope you'll be alright, dear. :/ *hugs!*
I'll show your previous post to Special Doctor Girlfriend when I get a chance to, in case she thinks of something. Do take care of yourself, in the meanwhile!

omnibahumut has a good point. What have I told you about those exotic snake oils?

Ring up my cel later and tell me what Dr. K. says. I need you alive.
