Ok, so I was admitted to the hospital yesterday for testing. I am having issues with hypoglycemia, and my Endo *thinks* I may have hormonal issues, along with possibly adrenal fatigue or secondary adrenal fatigue..
The testing process has been LESS than nice, and if I was to be honest, I would have to say that leaving has been on my mind since early this morning....Crying is drawing a close second....As is anxiety, and just plain being fed up with all of this shit.....
They have me doing a 72 hour fast. NO FOOD, and I can only have water, and diet Ginger Ale to drink.. That's it....My blood sugar gets tested every 2 hours, so needless to say, my fingers are very very sore....
The worst is the fact that my veins are shutting down, big time, due to the fact that every 6 hours that have to draw vials and vials of blood drawn. Up to 11 at one point today.....With the veins shutting down, they have to keep re sticking me, so this mornings draw took 4 tries in different places, and took 1/2 hour to complete because I am also dehydrated on top of all of this......I have blown veins all over my hands and arms....
I also had to have an injection of Cortisol and almost passed out, before they got it all in. I turned chalk white, and almost vomited....I was doing webcam with Herc and I think she got a tad concerned when it happened. It just HIT ME in a split second, boom I was sick....
The intrusive thinking, the anxiety, the unknown, the fear, the hunger, and my noisy roommate of 90 years old has me wanting to walk right out the frigging door....
Venting, just isn't cutting this at all...But, it's the only thing I have left to do... I am so frustrated!!!!!!! Sorry for the rant & vent....
