Several of us are very concerned that your husband could be in more trouble than he realizes. If he has the flu, he will have a fever, and the doctor should have asked about that. You need a second opinion and examination by a competent evaluator. If you have Vitamin C, try giving him 500 mg. every 6 hours. Can’t hurt, might do some good. But get him in for examination ASAP.
My sweetheart had a very hard fall a few years ago. His hip hurt terribly. He limped about for 10 days, kept saying I think it feels a little better. I finally called his best friend, a doctor, and his son in medical school. They urged him to go in for an xray. We went and his hip was broken. The shaft between the main leg bone and the hip socket had broken and telescoped on itself. They immediately entered him in the hospital and operated putting in 3 steel pins. For a year they were watching him to be sure the bone in the socket had restored good circulation and was not rotting. He still thinks it could have healed without the operation. Of course, if he had fallen or even stepped wrong it could have twisted out and caused much worse damage. Macho men are nuts, some times we women have to really put our foot down. This is one of those times, DO IT!!! If he dies and you didn’t you will never forgive yourself. Or if he survives a heart attack you will be paying the bills for years. The half gallon water a day I recommended is for life. Low blood volume forces the heart to work harder, raising the blood pressure, and thick blood has a harder time moving through capillaries, like those in the heart and causing blockages and heart muscle death—heart attack.
Twink - I have to echo gleeaikin’s message. I’ve been looking to see if you’ve been posting since 11 pm last night and was concerned. It definitely would be good to follow up and find out why he’s been vomiting.
It can be normal if someone gets nausea like that after strenuous exercise. But if your husband runs for miles and doesn’t usually get sick then this is not normal - not normal for him.
FReepers care!
Oh I agree and it worries me. He doesn’t have the flu even though he and the doctor thinks it could be that. I know what I saw yesterday and again today.
I know he’s stubborn and I give up so as not to nag. I do the same thing, or did until I put something off for too long and suffered the consequences. That tends to make one more proactive.
Thank you again for the info and suggestions and I will keep on it. He’s working from home tomorrow and I have a snow day so we’ll see how it goes.
It’s frustrating because I can see that something is wrong but until he does then it’s moot. I know I wait forever until I call the doctor about something, less so now but still wait until it’s something that can’t be explained away. I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks something is wrong here.
Thank you again for the concern and info.
