sigh ke lian..Originally posted by renorenal:I had a viral fever once (intermittent fever, it goes up and comes down and then spikes again)...
Whole joint was painful, the back of my eyes were burning, and my throat was dry, and when I was walking back from the clinic, I didn't notice a pothole, because I was very dizzy... had to go alone because there was no one home...
I stepped onto the pothole without noticing and sprained my right ankle and bruised my right elbow...
Lied down on the bed to elevate my leg for 2 days... with the viral fever not wanting to go... it's really killing... pray for death somemore, coz the pain was unbearable...
Lasted for more than 5 days before I actually got better to walk around...
its times like this where u hope u have gf right?

Just had a bad hypoglicemia, already 3rd this week. Luckily not as bad as the one when I thought I die. It was one morning, I woke up and needed to go to the toilet, but felt weak and shivering, cold sweat. If I didn't want to pee in my bed, I had to get up and go. Somehow I reached the toilet, when I sat, it got even worse. I started to see black spots infront of my eyes, then got blind. Shivering, cold sweat but feeling hot, I even stopped to hear. I fainted, then gained my conscience, then fainted again and so on. I felt very bad, as alone at home, wished someone to be at home. I felt like dying. When I gained my conscience again, I realised that I must eat something sweet, but I wasn't able to move. Was there in the toilet, pants down, not able to move. I tried hard not lose my conscience, still blind supporting myself on the wall reached kitchen and sugar. Stuffed myself with sugar, and waited till I am able to find something caloric and sweet to eat.

gosh...tatz horrible..v helpless horz...

I have learnt to survive and to help myself. But that was a bad situation, I think it was combination of hypoglicemia and low BP.

I don't think so, when I felt I am gonna faint, I tried to get in a position where I minimize the risk of injury.Originally posted by alfagal:did u hurt hurself, lik knowcking into something before u blankout? -

maybe you should ask your patients.Originally posted by renorenal:Have you ever experienced one of those times when you are so ill that you believe that you are about to kick the bucket or buy the farm?
Or, was it an accident, a near-miss accident when you are driving on the road?
I'm interested to hear from you, so do share it here and especially how you feel when you are spared from the death sentence... -
I've got a lot lar... but I cannot really share them here... coz it's not me experience...Originally posted by matrixeg:maybe you should ask your patients.

hmm jus wanna ask..its Hypoglycemia right?Originally posted by thinkdifferent:I have learnt to survive and to help myself. But that was a bad situation, I think it was combination of hypoglicemia and low BP.
-
Yes... it is hypoglycemia... without appropriate and quick intervention, patient may succumb to hypoglycemic shock...Originally posted by alfagal:hmm jus wanna ask..its Hypoglycemia right? -
When i was a newbie....
Crashed my bike into the pavement.
Small road and got big lorry. -
wats that?Originally posted by renorenal:Yes... it is hypoglycemia... without appropriate and quick intervention, patient may succumb to hypoglycemic shock... -
sorry... hypoglycemia refers to low blood glucose in the body... if this is excessive, the body will try it's very best to extricate all resources available, using up fats first and then moving on to proteins. However such compounds yields acids as a by-product in it's breakdown and utilization processes and their process is slow in generating energy source...Originally posted by shinta:wats that?
certain organs in the body may not be able to wait that long and the brain will interpret it as a sign of danger from starvation (actually this is a long process, those that of sudden onset happens in diabetics more often for those who takes excessive insulin)...
symptoms such as profuse sweating, palpitations, anxiety, hunger, restlessness, giddiness and tremors will step in...
when severe and unintervened, the patient may succumb to a shock and become comatosed and may even die...
...this is how emedicine.com (an excerpt) explains it...
Decreased levels of glucose lead to deficient cerebral glucose availability (ie, neuroglycopenia) that can manifest as confusion, difficulty with concentration, irritability, hallucinations, focal impairments (eg, hemiplegia), and eventually, coma and death. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to sweating, palpitations, tremulousness, anxiety, and hunger. -

nah... nowadays the medical side is rather efficient in recognizing and diagnosing it and treating it is very easy actually, though it is classified as one of the medical emergencies...Originally posted by shinta:

I remember when I was primary 2 or what, i fall sick. At first, I had cough n running nose= I guess. i can't remember it. It is so long ago. Then I went to see doctor. The doctor asked me to rest. Every doctors says the same thing. The next day, my mouth felt very pain. I went to see the doctor again. He said nothing wrong and asked me not to think too much and had alot of rest. Then during evening, my tougue kept coming out, and I can't swollow my saliva. It felt very bad. I felt like vomiting everytime. When I atesomething by just one mouth, i couldn't swollow the food and i would vomit all the food out. It was really very bad. I don't understand why I can't swollow my saliva and why I kept vomiting. Until now, i still don't know why. But anyway, I had recover long ago. Phew!!
I am just shaing my story with doctor reno. Can I ask wny do I keep feeling like vomiting without eating and why I can't swollow my saliva and my tougue keeps coming out? -
