Not last Sunday but the one before I woke up in the morning about 9 to get ready for work and couldn't get up. I had a pain in my side that was making me disabled to my bed. My girlfriend noticed I was in pain and breathing fast and heavy as well as shiving like mad.
She tried her best but eventually called 999 who sent a Paramedic in literally under 3 minutes they were in my room. He told me to calm myself and control my breathing, which to be honest was extremely hard at the time...
Anyway, he said my heart beat was really fast... Doesn't take a genius to work that out and that he will drive me to the hospital as I refused to waste an Ambulance's time coming here when I could try sit in his car. Anyway I sat on my bum down the stairs and struggled to get in the car but did. Nearly at the hospital and I wanted to throw up. Paramedic told me not to because he isn't allowed people in his car... wish he told me that before.
I didn't throw up but I got there and got seen straight away, given painkillers, poked and prodded by lots of doctors and then sent home because they didn't know what it was. Didn't even take bloods.
Pain continued so my girlfriends mom told me she would take me to A&E again last Friday and she did at 2pm. I had urine, blood you name it tests. I was put in a clinical decisions unit on a drip. I left hospital at 1am. I was given Tramdol to take on top of others, heres what I take daily.
7am - 2 Paracetamol, 2 Ibuprofen, 2 Tramadol
1pm - 2 Paracetamol, 2 Ibuprofen, 2 Tramadol
5pm - 2 Paracetamol, 2 Tramadol
9pm - 2 Paracetamol, 2 Ibuprofen, 2 Tramadol
Thats 22 tablets a day.
I am feeling drunk and drowsy constantly, stomach cramps and what not.
The pain hasn't gone and I really don't know what to do. If they don't know whats wrong then who does? This is Addenbrookes. One of the top hospitals in the UK!
Oh yeah, and I sat in hospital from 2pm-1am, so 11 hours to be told again they don't know whats wrong. Fun huh?
