Update on “I Need Some Help”

I just want to thank again everyone who encouraged me to get help after I refused to get in an ambulance at my doctor’s office last week , and tried to tough it out again (some of you especially). I thought for sure it was something that would pass. But going to the ER was definitely best. Honestly, I can’t believe I had to hang on to the wall to walk, had shortness of breath, and still waited to go to the ER. I’m grateful it was low magnesium. But when I didn’t feel better yesterday, I went back, and they gave me another IV of helpful medication. After feeling SO much better last night I feel pretty tired this morning, but I think that is just recovering from being so weak. I’m walking around just fine, and feel a lot better than I did overall. I’m just going to take it easy today, call my doctor to let him in on it (he IS working today), and take my magnesium supplements I bought. And you know what? If I’m not even better tomorrow, and my doctor says go to the ER, I’ll listen. After all, he was right the first time. Thank you all for the prayers!

I'm delighted to know you are better. Magnesium plays a huge part in health. That's what my husband was low on- he had diabetes at the time. Please take some naps, drink plenty of something and know that I am overjoyed that you got help.

I'm glad you listened and were able to get help. Its not easy and I know how high an ambulance bill can be as just paid one.

So pleased to read this and to know you're feeling better. After being so unwell, it is logical that you'd feel a bit extra tired. Hopefully you'll be back to 100% soon.

I had been fighting feeling this poorly for a week. Before that, I had never had the symptoms.

I am very thankful it was not a virus. Between the UTI and the magnesium deficiency you will likely feel weak for a while. I am glad you are getting all of it taken care of. Rest up, and then enjoy that trip.

I'm so glad that you are so much better today. I think that you have the right frame of mind to contact your doctor and take what he says, as he sounds pretty cleaver. Rest and stay hydrated today.
