I have been doing this for an hour or so and took emergency Ativan. I am feeling beat on and mudcle like I have been kicked. I have had a few panic attacks before so was thinking this was panic? I am so shivery but now see I have a small fever 102 and my side hurts so must be a kidney infection now. !02 is not so high is it? Clinics are closed for Columbus day here at my base - thought of ER but what could they do - maybe antibiotics.

I hope this is not ptsd symptoms - those have been gone a few years now.

After 25 years of not even walking by the urology clinic - afraid to even see it and wonder if I would go - well primary doc got me a consult with urogyn but then they refuse to see me..cancel and said you need urology. urology called with a cancelation so I took it but I feel tricked somehow. So, I slept little for two days but went to that appointment and stayed calm so I feel pretty good about that.

On Tuesday I am supposed to go to the lab ua and culture...then see this doctor on Thursday for "history and physical" also up to preop. Cysto (what is a gross cystoscopy???and whatever checking he will do next Wednsday and agreed to do it in OR and give me conscious sedation. It is so hard to calm me and I can't tell you how afraid I am to have anything urologic done to me - I don't want to be seen as a whining patient though...practicing my being assertive but polite.

Well I need to drink and get through tmorrow then have the culture on Tuesday - oh I hope it shows infection because now with fever and chills - it must be? Panic does not make a fever right?

Please answer here I would so love to have someone to talk through these coming tests. I really feel awful with this fever :(

Please get some medical attention today. If you have an infection severe enough to cause a temp of 102, you may need to be on something ASAP before it gets worse.

Warm hugs,
Donna

Donna - we are military and have to use the base hospital, but it is closed today for Columbus Day. If this day goes terribly, I can go to the ER there. I am having a culture tomorrow morning. I am not real sure why the uro had me wait since I told him Thursday that I had pain and pink nitrite test....but he did say wait a few days to get your chemistry back to normal and gave me Diflucan and Premarin cream - I guess to calm the female symptoms?

My fever broke late this morning and I feel just shaky and cold now, but better. Yes I will go to the ER if my fever goes up again. Thanks!
Debbie
