Body temperature

Morning lucky! Thanks for the update. I 'feel' you sound a little better. Hope you get your shower!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Still got high temp, but need to try and shower this morning as I feel perfectly filthy - but every tiny action is a real effort and flakes me out.

I plan to see my GP about these sudden attacks of abdominal pain - no-one seems to now what it is, but at the point when it strikes I am really quite poorly. This time I was unconscious for quite a long time - I remember calling out in pain and then nothing till there was a paramedic putting a needle in my arm. OH said that I was grey and clammy and my BP was in my boots. The paramedic told me that they could not give me any pain relief till I was stable. It has happened twice now - absolutely indentically. There must be something causing it. I suspect bile duct, as I have no gall bladder. Or pancreas?

I am not wild about a further raft of investigations really.

Hope all fellow bug-ridden gransnetters are beginning to surface from this dreaded lurgy.

So sorry to hear you are both ill and you could certainly have done without trip to A&E! Good that family rallied round. Just rest and drink lots and hopefully improve in a couple of days. Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Hi there - and thanks for your concern. We are both completely flaked out - temp still over 40; I seem to be getting nowhere and have no energy at all - I do need a shower sometime! Please steer clear of folk with the flu - you seriously do not want this. DD2 has it too and is also on antibiotics with a chest infection. Roll on spring.

What a time you are having Lucky

Hopefully the hospital provided some medication to bring your temperature down.
Good to know you have family helping you both.

I expect you gave your DH quite a fright.

Wishing you both a Speedy recovery

Hope you and your OH soon make a full recovery, luckygirl

You've had a horrible time.

lucky blimey!! What a time you are having. I do so hope that you can now concentrate on your recovery.

Just caught up. So sorry you’ve had more illness. As kitty said, enough now. Wishing you a peaceful, comfortable night.

Luckygirl. I was in A&E for 5 hours last week and the eventual probable diagnosis was Gastritis. SIL was similarly ill a couple of years ago and very ill indeed with it. Pancreatitis is another possibility, but I understand both are treatable, even reversible.
Were you taking Ibuprofenor aspirin for your temperature perhaps? Both would go for your gastric juices.

Lucky, my dh was taken away in an ambulance after passing out with pain and it was thought to poss be a heart attack. However, nothing was found at the time but a scan was arranged and it was discovered that he has multiple large gall stones. Doc reckons it was a gall stone.

Take care of yourself and never hesitate to ring 111 or 999.
He hasn't had a further episode but is awaiting treatment for the gall stones.

Oh crikey! You poor thing - thinking of you and your dh

Now look here, Lucky just stop it!!! Glad you are recovered. keep us posted!

oh my goodness Lucky - you are going through the mill. Hope your health issues are soon better understood so can be treated. Hugsx

And how is OH?

My goodness, you are having a time of it. Hope you soon feel completely better.

Oh dear lucky it never rains but it pours that sounds horrible so glad you ve got family rallying round and hope you soon feel 100 times better ?

Things got a bit more complicated and I spent the night in A&E - nothing relevant to my flu.

Last year I had a sudden acute pain in the top of my abdomen and passed out and was taken in by ambulance - the pain subsided eventually and I was sent home. After this episode my liver function tests were haywire for a few weeks. Exactly the same thing happened last night - sudden really bad pain in the same place and I lost consciousness - came round to find a para-medic putting up a drip. After about an hour in A&E the pain subsided - but I then had to wait 6 hours to be seen by a doc. Liver function tests slightly off kilter again. The thought is that it might be bile duct spasm, but previous scans show no stones or anything. It is a complete mystery - I am just glad that I do not live alone, or it would be a bit scary.

Lovely family all rallied round - SIL stayed here with OH overnight to help him; DD3 came in with me and sat up all night with me.

I seem to have recovered fine from that episode - but still have a temperature!

Hope things are ok Lucky.

Good luck jura.

Thinking of you- send news when you can- hugs x

Off to the Clinic for my knee op soon- so not sure when I'll be able to log in again.

Morning Lucky! How are you both?

Lucky I do so hope that you are managing, and beginning to feel a little better. Fingers crossed. Take care.

Wishing you both speedy recovery

Sooo glad you and H been seen and have medication...but hope you can get family/friends to bring soups /stews etc to keep you both nourished..lots to drink also,take care, thinking of you?

Pleased the doctor got to you lucky, hope you both pick up soon, sleep well.

Only just seen this lucky I’m glad common sense prevailed with the visiting doc but sorry to hear you’re both so unwell. Hope it all takes a turn for the better very soon

Just picked this up again.

I expect you are still feeling dreadful, especially at this time of the day.

Hopefully 48hrs will see you beginning to feel better, but what a rotten time for you both!

Will look in tomorrow - look after yourself lucky
