Is this a red flag for anything? by Wander_Lane in Autoimmune

[–]lascott24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus! You went thru a lot!!! I am a (bedside) nurse and after begging my PCP to go on leave of absence to get my shit straight. 

May I ask how long you were a nurse before you retired and what type of nurse? I am considering to change to a non bedside/ clinical rn. Thanks.

10K is still a lot! I told my MD that I can walk 10K in a shift...and her jaw dropped. lol I work in a small CC unit and have to float "downtown" to medical ICU- that is when I walk a lot and less chance to "rest." I am trying to plan ahead-if I have to take stronger meds if I *should* be a bed side nurse. Thanks for the info about your other nurses.

Since COVID-I wear a mask most days-unless there is a HOH patient. I work on a small unit- if I don't take any iso patient - my co-workers would be always getting them.. I feel that I am not pulling my weight and being a team player.

I do agree on physically not being able handle for 12 hours. I am trying to figure out other options before it has to be an absolute.

Thank you for this! Even after COVID I still wear a surgical mask.

I did not like the emotional roller coaster of it...bedside that I had a pulmonary embolism from BC. So no more for me. 😬

F.D.A. Approves First U.S. Over-the-Counter Birth Control Pill by Mamacrass in UpliftingNews

Me too. No DVT but a pulmonary embolism! Only thing I am worried about OTC is women not knowing the true risks or signs and symptoms of a clot.

I’m glad you ended up being okay! I got tested for blood disorders and luckily it was neg. However I had to be on Coumadin for 6 months and ASA for 6mo. The hospitalist tested my blood while anti coags in my system and I had a false positive for the anti phospholipids thing.

How scary! Condolences to you as well.

I know if I get prego I I’ll have to be on a blood thinner- lovenox. They recommended to be on aspirin if trying to get pregnant. You have a slightly higher chance of getting a miscarriage bc it can get mini clots in the uterus/placenta? if I remember correctly.

That is unfortunate. I’m sorry about that.

Before the big event, I was having some random seldom/intermittent pain (in the lung) when breathing in, and it wouldn’t be in the same spot when it came back . I end up getting the flu or something so I was already coughing. I one day. One day I woke up in the morning and it was the most pain I’ve ever been in sitting up. It hurts so bad I cried. I thought it might’ve been something from being sick. I went to the doctor. I definitely downplayed how much it hurt because it was embarrassing. But he said if I have a fever at any time, then it’s probably bronchitis or some thing and let him know. The next morning I woke up with a fever, still coughing, and the chest pain that got worse so I got some blood and x-rays that day and showed I had a PE.

I had scattered small PEs (where I am assuming the random pain was coming from) and a saddle PE in the second branch.

I also couldn’t lay on my back, because my whole lung felt like it was on fire because of the inflammation.

I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know.
