[Akura]

Couldn't sleep throughout the night, kept waking up every hour to go the bathroom. Was constantly thirsty despite drinking lots of water. I'd end up peeing it out quickly enough. Could barely eat a bowl of cereal because I couldn't produce enough saliva to break it down. I'm really hoping that it's just because of low electrolytes, which I've bought some electrolyte drinks to alleviate.


Also had a random fever last night. First check I had a temp of 100.6°F, but it went down to normal over the next hour.

[Loud Whispers]

Managed to see a doctor about that? Sounds like it could be something serious Akura. Hope you're doing better

[hector13]

Yup, if your body is unable to retain hydration it’s… pretty bad. Hopefully it gets better soon.

You need to see a doctor man. That could be everything from an acute urinary tract infection to diabetes. That it's all accompanied by a fever indicates the former.

[Akura]

I did see a doctor last night. Except all this happened right afterwards. Hydration's a bit better, lips feel dry, but I'm producing saliva. I'm not peeing as much.

You can always call medical services after a doctor's appointment.
It's not unheard of for people to be hospitalized shortly after their doctor's appointment.
Doctors...are just humans trying to interpret other humans, after all.

[Akura]

Going to the hospital. Currently feeling like I have shakes. I haven't slept at all in over two days despite spending most of the day in bed, along with pain in my intestines and phlegm clogs in my esophagus.

[nenjin]

Don't let them ship you out of there without an answer for your symptoms! Good luck sir, let us know what you learn.

[Akura]

They think it's some kind of viral infection, but all the tests came back negative. They did tell me to take a sleep aid. Other than that, everything looks good, except that I'm anemic somehow.

[ChairmanPoo]

How anemic, and whats the mcv like?

[Akura]

I'm not sure how severely anemic, and I don't understand the other question.

[Mathel]

Did they check for internal bleeding and stomach ulcers?

[nenjin]

Anemia
Fever
Abdominal / Intestinal pain
Unquenchable Thirst
Unable to eat
Frequent Urination
Unable to sleep

And they told you "yeah, maybe a virus. Take a sleep aid and GTFO of here."

You have a whole bevy of symptoms. Did they take a urine sample? Fecal analysis? Test liver and kidney function?

I'd be pissed, personally. If I had all those problems I wouldn't have accepted "meh, maybe a viral infection."

[dragdeler]

The guys are right... Apparantly you got to be a real whiney bitch to get some threatment, idk I never figured it out either. But you need to be louder or have someone be loud on your behalf, it seems you are seriously sick.

[hector13]

Yeah, in health systems the world over you apparently have to be your own advocate to get things done.
