So I was hospitalized not once....but TWICE yesterday...yeah.
So yesterday morning, I woke up with the worst migraine I've ever had in the 4 years that I've been getting migraines, and I was throwing up every 15 minutes. Like, all I put in my stomach all day was little sips of sprite and gingerale and i couldnt keep THAT down. So i had to go to the hospital and they gave me a shot of this stuff called Demerol and Finnigan and omg it makes you loopy as HELL. It's a narcotic and it makes you feel like ur floating and it's very cool....its kinda scary though, because you feel like u have no control over your body. So anyways, it made my migraine better, and i went home and went right to sleep cuz it makes u tired as hell. I woke up at like, 8 last night and started throwing up again and my headache was back. My mom called the hospital back and they told her to give me my normal prescriptions and that If i threw up after taking those, I would have to be re-admitted into the ER. So what happens? I throw up after I take my medicine and I wound up back in the hospital from 10pm last night until 3am this morning. omg it was hell. They finally figured out that I was severely dehydrated so they gave me an IV. they gave me MORE of the loopy medicine...and some anti-naseua stuff.... and ice chips to keep my mouth from being to dry from throwing up since i couldnt drink anything.
Oh and another thing... the nurse who was giving me my IV asked me what meds I'm currently on for my Migraines and I told him...and my mom was like "yeah, and her neurologist is worried because she's lost a lot of weight while she's been on it." And the nurse goes "Yeah, well it can cause Anorexia." and my mom was like "Ughhh." and he was like "Yep. Not Anorexia Nervosa. Just anorexia-not-hungry." It was quite the day/night.
So today I feel better again. So far I've been able to keep down: Chocolate chip pancakes, milk, pretzel rods, and iced tea.
God I hate being sick.
But like always, Nile was at the hospital with me before he went to work, and he met us at the hospital when my mom brought me back at like, 10 last night cuz he was outta work. I don't know WHAT I would do without him <3 .
