Not feeling well at all x2 daYS - Viking Fan


Posted: Nov 14, 2009

Hi, All.  Yesterday morning, about 10 a.m. so, and while working, I started to get what felt like gas pains in the abdomen but onlly from the umbilicus down (it did go all the way across and ended up causing a mild backage - no pain any further.  They were constant and unrelenting,  No relief.  I took to gas pills, wated a littlle while, took 2 more, pain getting worse.  I had 3 ways of describning the pain:  1.  The (minimal) paring knife pain - hurts, only about enough to make you yelp a little (i'm not a screamer when get I hurt, I usually let out a cuss word and move on.  OFtentimes, the Cussword is long, made up and ends up sounding ridiculous.l  but one cuss word usually does the trink.   I think when I broke u.  Then were was the last pain - the burning torch pain.  My pain was b/l, lower quad, but the burning torch pain was specifically related to the baddder area whenver palpated, no matter how lightly. 

 

Well, day 2 of this new illness here, I'm 42 years old,, never had a child (though lifting way too many boxes too have for me made my uterus prolapse) and now I've got a new problem. 

 

 

 

I did a bunch of those

OK, little hx:

incon

PMH

Lowered seizure threshold, broken foot, sepsis twice last summer, etc. 

PSH

1.  T&A

2.  Diagnostic laparoscopy for infertrility.

3.   Same as #2.

5.  Lap Chole.

6.  Partial  abld hysterectomy.  I retained ovaries since I was only 40.

7.  Repair of rotator cuff where mesh covdrfed area of missing cervix. 

SOH

No drinking, no drugs, smoke 1 PPD.

Family Hx:

Grandmother with SLE and rheumatoic arhtritis, died in her early 60s, htn (thoser mine is awesome), hypercholsterolemia (mine's great too and they even repeat the HDL evey time because they think the machine iw rong).  Mom with lots of back issues, has had neuro Sx on both neck and LS spine.  I already several  bulging disks.

Review of system:

General:  WDWNWF, 5'4", 1`15 lbs.  HEENT - terrible eyesight since  chiild hood, wear contacts.   HEENT okay.  Heart:  By MP ususally runs pretty low,  around 104/40 or so unless i'm in pain, which is uusally the reason I go see the doctor. 

For obvious reasons, rest of PE deferred.

Went to ER after 3 people made me go.  Was going to wait it out (why not - waited out blader infection 1o days and broken foot 5 days) but I called the nurse from my ins. and she told me to go there immediately.  Went, got evaluated.  CT ab/pel.  I've had bladder stones but no stones in kidneys or ab.  The CT showed an extremely large bladder.  One may think nothing of this finding, but I's had other tests done and each indicated I have a "rather small bladder" (I think my male pug was born with something simillar - a 2 inch intestive - LOL).  Findings so far are enlarged bladder, no stones, and then the ER doc says to me "As far as your urinalysis, it is way out of this word and I don't know wha tto say abut it, whatever that means. 

Ideas anyone?

 

Thanks!

 

Tammy

Yes by all means see a doctor, could be cystitis or many other things. I might type just the same after being sick three days. Do not pay any attention to the nit pickers.

Did they say anything about your appendix or seeing any diverticulitis? nm - tj

Gosh, your husband is having major pain and urinary difficulties, and now you are too?! What are the odds?

Sounds like something could be contagious, if you get my drift.

never thought of that - wow

[ In Reply To ..]
I was so stuck on the rotator cuff mesh on the cervix thing that I could not even make an educated guess...

Someone should ask Viking Fan if her husband is getting a lot of private phone calls and if he is going out with "the guys" a lot more hey?

Oh dear.

did MD give you antibiotic for out of control UA? - too scary

Feeling Bad . . .

Took a test for a city job and just got notice that I did not pass.  I was on of over 300 people who took the  test.  Happy for those that passed but wish I would have been one of them.  I believe I bombed in the math calculations.  Boy is it ever a kick in the pants with regard to self-esteem to know that I cannot even pass a simple test.  What can an old timer like me do when all I ever have done is transcription?  Feelling about as low as possible right now. ...

New MT...feeling Very Discouraged
Sep 29, 2010

Hi, I have recently graduated from an MT program and have been spending a lot of time on this forum. It has made me think that I may have made a huge mistake. I understand that times are hard, but does anyone have any good advice? I just have been getting discouraged so much lately. I have two young children and want to be able to stay home and help my husband to take care of our family. He already works two jobs as it is (in the health care field) and we just want to get ahead. Did I make a mis ...

Looking at an ad that says "Required skills are transcribing 1000 HIM lines (65 character lines) or 2000 MI lines per day."  Is there anyone who can translate HIM and MI for me?  Pretty sure HIM is standard transcription and thinking MI is somehow related to VR, but I guess I'm just too old school to understand new acronyms! ...


Feeling Targeted

One day the company loves, you the next, they're exacting punishment to make you feel like you can't do your job. I am sure some of you have felt this way and have even been the victims of attempts to bring in other MTs to replace you. That's exactly how I felt today when I got an email today. I thought the manager was a bit harsh, rather than just giving a warning like the email said for the first time the error is made. How do you deal with this? I wish a lot of the times I coul ...

Just quit this company. Initially had to fax my personal information numerous times because they lost it repeatedly, etc. Only allowed to type 10 reports per day on QA, unable to get off QA, QA editors never able to agree on policies and procedures. Also required to research dozens/hundreds of previous reports (no search engine available) to find information (QA stated they will not fill in blanks), which is frequently incorrect; not even making minimum wage at first. Even their docs are bit ...

Good morning, everyone. I know a few of you followed the last couple times I posted about how I had gotten a new job with a reputable company and they would not let me off full QA and how I was getting only three reports a day. I then posted the news was better on Friday because I was let off QA and given two more accounts. This morning I am feeling pretty low. I now have a total of four accounts and no work in any of them. I was hired as an IC and told I would have steady work and that I ...

IMEDX Feeling Behind

Friend of mine still works in-house at a hospital.  They have two employees out on long-term sick leave and are falling behind so the supervisor has gone with a company called iMEDX to do some transcription on the "weekends."  She asked if I had heard of this company since I worked for MTSOs for years, and when I checked them out, I find that at three of the top administrative people are from CBAY/MQ.  She needs to be worried, right?  My heart just broke for her when I read this.  Their ...

Now that my last week is upon me, I feel guilty for getting out of the field I went to school for.  It's long been apparent that nothing is going to change for the better in this industry plus, due to low work, my check has become practically nonexistent in the recent weeks.  I'm sure it will pass, but has anyone else who got out had this feeling? ...

Hi everyone:) Hope some of you can help me out.  I am new to the company, and boy am I confused.  I have repeatedly asked for some things to help me out, but I rarely hear from my TSM, and I feel I am being avoided.  I am totalliy worn out, the dictators are horrible!  I have so many blanks in some of the reports, I feel like I am doing a horrible job, and I have a lot of experience.  No feedback at all.  ...


Experienced But Feeling Like A Newbie!
Sep 12, 2011

I have been a transcriptionist for the past 10 years, working in cardiology, acute care and now radiology. I do radiology part-time from home right now and most shifts I do not even average minimum wage because of a shortage of work. The company I work for is small and works two typists per shift when there is only enough work for one. It is so frustrating! I have sent out about 20 resumes in the last couple of weeks and haven't heard a word from anyone. It used to be so easy to get a job b ...


Feeling Very Resentful Lately, Bad Attitude!
Apr 19, 2012

My very own attitude has gone from bad to worse with the 4 cpl and the fact that I am typing over most of the garbage.  I was told by my CCM no F11 unless technical problems and they must be reported. Again today, I find myself really very angry while I wait for a job outside of the house to come through.  I find myself angry that I sit here for 4 cpl and no matter what I won't be able to make bills, b/c I am again straight typing half of this stuff and my skill set/self-esteem k ...

Is there any way to get unemployment out of this company?  I am not meeting my lines per hour on ebtxt and don't know what to do.  Apparently my hours did not match on Webclock and the system last week. We are getting emails every week stating make sure you check this or that including do ctr + alt + I to check the print, which will only do it for 1 page, so then we have to do it for each page.  Also, check 3 pages in the AI sheet for each job, etc.  I feel lik ...

I do way too much work free for this company! I am especially sething today as I am doing an account I have never done before, I had to read the CP several times and look at some previous jobs to finally get what I am supposed to do, and I also see a lot of people didn't bother to follow the CP regarding the 1 easy requirement, which is the formatting of the PE.
