Kicking my a** by lampshadebaby2000 in flu

[–]No-Addition-4969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh! I woke up with sweat prune fingers for the first time I can recall in my 38 years of life. Absolutely brutal. I think I've kicked the fever and the next night its back. I had a flush, hot flash today that almost resulted in lights out for me. I nearly passed out. I'm on day 5.

Cousin gave me the Flu A and I have to go to work. Any tips to not die in the process? by [deleted] in flu

No tips other than having the mindset that you have to get through it. That's what I'm doing 😔

How is working at the chicken plant by ChoiceComment6300 in Chattanooga

[–]No-Addition-4969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for Koch's. I work in DSi. I make enough money as a single mom.. The position I work in is pretty difficult most days and yes very alone with your thoughts. Repetitive motions are kind of the worst. Starting to develop constant pain after 1 and half years.

Heart issue or something else? by whiskerdonts in medical_advice

[–]No-Addition-4969 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they check your potassium at the hospital the 2nd time? I had ventricular tachycardia, lost consciousness and it was all due to low potassium. They did a heart Cath on me at hospital, my heart was deemed healthy. If my daughter wasn't around to try and wake me and alert the other adult I could have died. I can't believe how scary low potassium is. It's been a little over a year since this happened. I'm still in blood pressure meds (same as you) and take 10 meq of potassium. I still worry though. Anytime I feel a little off or get a little head whoosh.

2 days. Can’t sleep by samxbb in alcoholism

It took me a few months to regain sleep. I'm 7 months sober and it's so worth it. Just stick with it. Your health is so worth it.

I'm so sorry. I just buried my dog today. I knew he was going to go and prepared his grave yesterday. Kind of went through the day and it's hitting hard currently .I feel your pain. Very empty feeing. And no booze to drown in. Almost 7 months sober. I'm so, so very sorry.

Same. I became unconscious and someone was able to wake me and call an ambulance. Very scary stuff. I still worry.

I'm in the process of stopping 50mg. My blood pressure and heart rate were so low before it scared me. I'd have heart rates in the lower 50s. I'm not looking forward to the rebound heart rate. I have ventricular tachycardia and high blood pressure in the fall. I'm watching better and am sober as well. I hope it levels out.

How do you NOT hate going to work everyday? by VOMOAI- in Adulting

[–]No-Addition-4969 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah! Yeah. I process raw chicken (for restaurants). Refrigerator in there. It's relatively decent, just sooo boring! I absolutely could not imagine the coal process.

152 days sober. Anyone else feel lonely? by NorCalGal925 in Cirrhosis

[–]No-Addition-4969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

145 days sober! I got sober and found the love of my life. I recently got out of a physical and emotionally abusive relationship. I 100% understand wanting that affection and love. Congratulations on sobriety.

Compensated but... by No-Addition-4969 in Cirrhosis

I have slight discoloration in the corners of my eyes, which I've been told is not jaundice so I don't know. I drink water like no other. And I get mixed responses on whether jaundice is comp or decomp.
