need pixie dust and good thoughts

[jacksmomma]

Praying that you get some answers soon!

No xrays to see if it is pneumonia? Did they at least listen to your lungs?

Did they do blood work to see if you have markers for past/present heart attacks?

Go knock some heads.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I was thinkin' the same thing.. when I went to the dr.. I went to ER..

X-ray for pneumonia
EKG
Echo
blood work
every other test they ran...

 

[logan&tylersmama]

when i went to the er last weekend they did blood work -- a chest xray and had me hooked up to the ekg --- left with a suggestion of an asprin a day and follow up with a cardio. went to cardio today --- blood pressure perfect, EKG looked good sitting and running on treadmill, -- come back next tuesday to wear 24 hour monitor, follow up with PCP
welll ---- i dont have a PCP --- So today i called around and the soonest i can get in is in 2 weeks.
my friend ran some blood work on me and she said my thyriod is underactive --- so i will share that info with the new PCP in 2 weeks.
still feeling pressure and FRUSTRATED!!!! having a glass of wine -- and playing with my cricut.
thanks for all the well wishes ---- i will keep you posted....

Jennifer, you are stubborn, if this was one of your kids, you would have had them seen right away. Well, you need to take care of yourself so you can take care of them!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Where is that magic wand???

I want to wave it over you and make everything all better.


I know you hate not knowing even more than we do. Pixie Dust we get answers soon.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok, so they have ran some of those test.... make sure you call and have all those results sent to your PCP ASAP (even though you won't be there for 2 weeks)....this will allow him/her to review those tests and possibly work you in that schedule sooner if need be.

I wish you had answers already... I'm sure it's hard not knowing.. Heck, I know it was hard when I didn't know... Now that I know what triggers my anxiety (that felt like heart issues) I avoid them.. DH deals w/ all big money decisions and buying... I just drive the vehicle, sign my name and work it in the budget... Although he does get a limit from me.. I just can't handle the negotiations....

OK, Jen it is now Wed - and unless i have missed another thread or posting, you must have had the 24 heart monitor on and off by now. Any news????

 

[logan&tylersmama]

well -- i wore the 24 hour monitor yesterday and today and turned it into the dr this afternoon -- not sure when they will let me know the results -- still feeling tired, and lots of pressure and still some pain. Need to pull it together because we are taking a group to vermont from Friday until monday night --- i need the extra money to buy train tickets to take the kids to see my dad for 2 weeks in aug. and i might as well feel poorly in vermont and get paid for it instead of feeling poorly here at home for free.
i have an appointment with a new PCP next tuesday..... taking on day at a time and hoping to feel better and have more energy soon.... thanks for all the nice thougths and prayers

[PrincessNancy96]

prayers and pixie dust still headed your direction!!!!
Look up local hospitals/urgent cares in the area you are going to for safety purposes!!!
I do this for our soccer tournaments/basketball games and the like..and believe me over the years it has come in handy for other families.... (mine once)...

 

[joyah]

jen where in VT you can pm me and I might be able to help answer any ?'s about health centers

Jennifer please take care of yourself. If you have thyroid questions I'm your person. I suffered with mine for an awful long time before they diagnosed it. I know loads about it.

 

[LindaBabe]

sending healing thoughts your way - since the docs have been so useless, we might as well try 'magic'. Please take care.

 

[logan&tylersmama]

i think we will be in manchester vt. I am going with some great friends/staff who really love me and they are already maping out all the routes to emergency places --- they are also not going to let me over do it --- should be a nice distraction....

Jennifer that's good to know. that area is fairly well populated, not far from rutland. Our main hospital Dartmouth Hitchcock is in lebanon NH but they have 2 helicopters now (not that you'll need them cause you are taking it easy). It's a good 1-2 hours from me. No easy way to get there from my side of the state.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Pixie Dust that you do get a chance to relax this weekend and all goes well.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

and for a good relaxing weekend. Take things slow and easy and take care of yourself.

 

[logan&tylersmama]

you ladies are so good to me
thanks for all the information and kind thoughts --- its nice to be well loved for and cared about
Jennifer

 

[lovingthemouse]

Hey Jen - what is happening with your health? You promised to let us know and an entire week has now gone by!!!

 

[logan&tylersmama]

UPDATE: sorry I haven't posted- dropped my laptop down the stairs--posting from my I pod now. (BTW - My laptop has all the kids pictures on it --- not sure how i am going to recover them)
Vermont went well -- the clients had a blast --- I over did it and was wiped out all week. _It was like i had a hangover with out the benifit of drinking.
My Tests all came back negative-- mamogram was fine, iron fine, blood pressure perfect, cholesteral great, wore 24 hour EKG -no issues, stress test perfect, did16 viles of blood last week-- Lyme and a few other tests pending-- could have a virus in my heart--still very tired all the time and lots of pressure in my chest and around my left breast is very sore---- so no answers is very frustrating. I need to work on end of the year teacher gifts and have no energy. Thanks for all the kind thoughts-- I am used to being the care giver-- not the other way around
