I have been very ill since Sunday night. Vomiting again for hours. Fever of 101.7 .. normal is 97.
Heart rate was 137 yesterday.......today only 90. [with meds]
Soo... that's where I am .. in bed.
Kidney infection, most likely. Am taking Zithromax and my fever has broken.
Any and all prayers accepted. Posted by Tincup (Member # 5829) on :
Ouch ouch tutu.
Sorry to hear you've been in bed... sick. I heard you were actually UNDER the bed (where most turkeys are hiding these days)... but if you say you are IN the bed... I'll accept that.
Hope you will be feeling fit as a fiddle soon. When YOU feel bad.. we ALL feel bad.
Happy Turkey!!!

Hey TuTu,
So sorry you are so sick, and my prayers are with you. Hopefully the Zith will knock this stubborn kidney infection out! If it doesn't try Flagyl...that was the only abx that worked for mine. I hope you start feeling better soon and keep us posted.

Posted by TerryK (Member # 8552) on :
I was wondering where you were. Thanks for letting us know.
Hope you are checking in with your LLMD about all these problems over the past few months just to make sure that they are not related to lyme or some co-infection.
Hope you feel better very soon. Terry
Posted by barbarame (Member # 16423) on :
You are so supportive and kind. I hope this passes soon. Rest and be well.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thanks, my friends. You're all very loved and appreciated!
I saw my LLMD two weeks ago. [before the bladder/kidney thing]
I just hope I can get enough strength back to even EAT turkey dinner tomorrow. I've hardly eaten a thing what with the nausea and all.
Hubby will be playing music at the college where he works and I can eat for free....IF I can eat.
Thank goodness I don't have to travel or COOK for Thanksgiving!!
Your buddy, Lymetoo

Posted by oxygenbabe (Member # 5831) on :
When I said to watch your kidneys closely after the sodium phosphate prep I should also have mentioned to do low salt in diet for awhile and be careful of infection. After I did four days of salt/c with such adverse effects I felt kidneys were vulnerable to infection (an intuitive body sense) and took a ****load of cranberry caps from eclectic institute for weeks. Your kidneys are still weak from that prep my suggestion is tissue cell salts and cranberry caps and low salt and lots of purifying nourishing foods like hot homemade chicken broth with good veggies and green juices with parsley. Your kidneys need nourishment. Good luck.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thanks, oxygen. I agree, they screwed up my kidneys. Thanks for the suggestions. Now to implement them.
Hi Kathy B!
Still not eating much, not sure if I'll be going to the college or not. Gotta get DRESSED in order to do things like that! A big chore right now.
Ten bites of turkey doesn't excite me right now. Potatoes almost sound good.
Y'all eat for me today, OK?!
Happy Turkey Day! Posted by 2roads (Member # 4409) on :
Just read your message......so sorry TuTU.
Truth is, if ya didn't eat much, ya didn't miss much.
I overate to sickness (and Turkey isn't even my favorite), and believe it or not...the dishes still aren't done. Gotta go down and push another dishwasher load.
You'll make it up the next holiday.
I agree with the Flagyl. Toxic stuff but worked for my UTI.
Get those meds down for feeling better.
Big Hugs
Greta

Tutu!!!
For you, when it rains, it POURS!!! My goodness, one thing after another after ANOTHER!!!
Poor thing, I ate for you yesterday! But it really wasn't THAT good. I couldn't eat sugar, and I didn't have turkey or gravy because I am a vegetarian.
Take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. If you don't have any Christmas movies, have hubby rent some. Watch It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th St (the original version). Those movies always cheer me up around the holidays.

TuTu....I hope that you are feeling better? Give us a post and let us know.
I don't like all of these things happening to you one after another....what is up with that?
Sending one up to Papa for you,

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I'm feeling better today. A local Lymie here saved me. He gave me more zith. I was to take my last 250mg on Friday, but since he found out I was ill on Thursday night he said hubby could come over and get more zith Friday.
So I took an extra Zith Thurs night. I think the problem was that doc only gave me 250mg per DAY for the kidney infection. {get real, man}
The only day I felt better was the day I had taken 2 pills in the Z Pack.
So... got plenty now and and took 500mg Friday and today. Feeling better. Actually ate some real food today. Hope it stays down.
My poor husband played piano all day at a buffet and then had to go out to eat by himself on Thursday! They didn't offer him any food at the buffet and he didn't want to ask.
They always "forget" to feed the musicians. I guess they think they don't get hungry after playing for 5+ hrs.
Feelfit... I'm so glad Papa is always there for us. Whew! Posted by Pure Lymie League (Member # 10421) on :
Was he at The College of the Ozarks, if so my mom was there. Hope you feel better. Sara
Posted by randibear (Member # 11290) on :
i wondered where you had been hiding.

illness can go through a lymie faster than a pig through a salad buffet....
LOL...tht oughta make you feel better...

Hey Girl, Gee,you have really had it these last few months.
I am praying they get to the bottom of the high temp and vomiting.
You are such a support to all of us, now is your turn to RECEIVE. Hard to do for people like you.
Sending you positive thoughts BJG Posted by Geneal (Member # 10375) on :
I'm so sorry I've missed this thread.
Been overwhelmed with family this week.
I will never, ever do this again!
You young lady are under strict orders to get well again.
Please PM me if you need anything.
My original offer still stands (former PM).
Try to drink plenty of water.
After hepatitis A (17 years old), I dealt with bladder infection
After kidney infection, after bladder then kidney, etc.
Finally had a cistoscope done.
Not fun by a long shot, but cleared out the problem for me.
Had some "gravel" (small, small pieces of stones either from my kidneys or bladder)
Lodged somewhere in my urinary tract.
These kept me in constant infection state for months.
I had a left kidney that drained really slow.
Had nuclear scans done, IVP's done, etc.
The cistoscope finally did the trick.
Sending you positive thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Geneal
