I don’t know why they assume she’s faking. She is hurting and they aren’t taking it seriously. I hate it here!

[Allegra]

Please pray the basic tests show what is going on!!!!!

Prayers sent for that and also that it is minor and fully/easily treatable.

I will keep Crystal and you close in prayer.

[luvie]

I hate that you can’t get your sick daughter taken care of without jumping through hoops! :/

[thesearethetimes...]

That is so odd. Prayers lifted for a quick diagnosis and resolution.

May God bring comfort and patience until more is known.

Thank you for keeping us updated. You and your daughter have been in a lot of prayers today. It sounds like you’ve gotten the diagnostic process rolling, and that is very good news.

Not at 40 lbs over.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

A nurse wrote a prescription? Occult?

[GailA]

Most of us carry it in our mouths.

Acidopholis would be a good thing to add for any GI issues, and ANY time an antibiotic is RX is issued. Saves us females those nasty yeast infections.

Activia yogurt has it in it, but not strong enough for a severe case.

[GailA]

A nurse, who has no authority to give RX advice.

As far as my knowledge goes only a Doc or NP can do that.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Agreed. The probiotics (I won't give the name so no one thinks I am pushing them or advertising for them) with the esoteric vegetable coating survives the stomach acid and works good.
A good med for yeast infection after antibiotics is Diflucan (Fluconazole)

[trussell]

She did not write a script, just told her to take it.

[luvie]

Howdy, T. How are things going today? Weren’t there more tests
for this morning? I hope she’s feeling a bit better!

[trussell]

There were chest xrays today. They say the doc should have all the results by tomorrow, so hopefully we know something soon. Thank you EVERYONE for your prayers!

[combat_boots]

Prayers......

[luvie]

Prayer continues for her, Trussell. I know you are anxious to
know what is going on and how to “fix” it! Scary stuff!

(((hugs)))

Each state is different I think. Depends on the economy of that state. If you were in Kali just think double or triple for one of those walk in clinics.

[GailA]

Verbal, she was smart enough not to do more than 'advise' OTC acid reducer and a multi vit. Still does not have the credentials to do even that, 'out side' her license.

[GailA]

Take the probiotics with your antibiotic and there is NO need for the other drug then. I prefer to prevent the ‘unavoidable’ yeast infections of both mouth (thrush) and female varity.

Also keeps some of the ‘runs’ that antibiotics gives some people down.

Have her checked immediately for anemia. The symptoms you posted were the very same symptoms a friend of mine had when I rushed her to my immediate care clinic (she had been seeing her doctor for months and she kept pushing pain pills on her) and the nurse practitioner knew immediately that it was anemia. We rushed her to the hospital where they gave her 2 units of blood and did a bunch of other tests but the blood infusion worked! Had she not been diagnosed when she was, she might have died. Normal hemoglobin level range is 11 to 13 for a mature woman - her’s was 4.5.

Is your daughter craving large amounts of ice? That’s usually a sign of anemia.

See my post #159.....Prayers your way.
