I was in the ER last night
July 27, 2008 @ 08:47:22 pm

I haven't been feeling well for a while now. Nauseated, dizzy, etc. etc.
But I am alive, as I'm sure you can see.
I was kind of forced into going because my stomach was acting up so bad and my heart starting hurting. It scared everyone around me. And my bf, roommate, and mom came to the ER with me. My dad would've except he wasn't able to. It kind of surprised me, to be honest.
Anyway, they ran a bunch of tests which all turned out normal. (And I really hated the IV. That thing freaking hurt!) I was dehydrated so they had to put a bunch of some liquid that I thought was water but could've been something different. Bloody hell that thing was cold. Anyway, while I was there it reached the point where I could barely stand because it seemed my legs and arms were going numb. And I almost passed out one time when the people with me had me stand. God, I was so dizzy....
I was really dehydrated because it took a whole bag of that fluid stuff before I had to go to the bathroom.
They also put in some strange medicine that I can't remember what it was. I know they tried Bendryl simly because my legs (possibly RLS) started acting up BAD.
Around this time gets all fuzzy because I kept passing out and getting really confused because I guess in the "dreams" I was having someone would say something but I thought they'd said it in real life and ugh I was so confused....
I also couldn't really talk because.....I don't know why, I just had an incredible hard time talking.
But anyways.....I'm all right.
They're not entirely sure what is wrong because the tests came back normal but they think it might be an ulcer or simply stress.
So yeah....I'm all right. But apparently not going to work today....

	as for the IV, you probably got a bag of potassium. When I was in the ER I got 2 bags of fluid, one was regular saline and the other was with potassium. Hope you feel better soon and find out what was causing it.
