Dehydration #2

Amanda Baby, Events Add comments

So unfortunately it happened again, but this time I knew what was going on. All day I was really sick and was not able to keep anything down. Around 5 p.m. that evening it started to get really bad. I remember Ben’s parents bringing up over dinner and as soon as I ate it, it was right back up again. Another big hint is the awful headache that does not go away until you have IV. fluids. I told Ben he needed to take me to urgent care because I was dehydrated. It sucks because sometimes it does not matter what you do or how much water you drink, if you body rejects it all there is no easy fix. When I arrived at urgent care the nurse had informed me that my vitals did in fact show that was extremely dehydrated and they would be administering fluids. After the first bag of fluids I pretty much felt the exact same, but doing the second it was like I was alive again. It is almost like an instant feeling that runs through your whole body and I felt like me again. A few things that helped as well were these dissoluble Zofran pills and Tylenol. The Dr also had some pretty good advice; she has mentions to me that I have a B-6 deficiency. At first I was not sure what this meant but after reading about it, it makes perfect sense. It means that my body does not produce enough of it so the baby pretty much takes it all and there is nothing left for me. B-6 is good for a ton of things like nail growth, acne, nausea, and pretty much everything other thing I have been experiencing. Well we will see if it works, I am supposed to take 25 mg 3 times a day. Just another drug to add to my list.

Here is an awesome pic of me all hooked up, I look like a robot or something
