You sure are in the hospital a lot, Phil. Have you been checked for AIDS?
Dayummm, I didn't think of that - do you think I should post my symptoms in the AM I section?
And I only have been admitted to 3 of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties many hospitals (Memorial-Pembroke, Aventura, and UM).... Haven't been to Jackson (although I worked there for a bit), Broward General, Holy Cross, Mercy, Mount Sinai, Plantation General, or a host of others.
I really didn't want to go this time. Prior to leaving the ENT I called my mother and told her that I wasn't about to go to the ER. Of course, mom scared me with talk of cardiac arrest (running in the family), etc - so, I went ahead and went - but I really have gotten to the point where I do not want to have to be back in the hospital again for quite some time. I had a good stretch where I wasn't admitted from 2001 until 2012 - so that isn't too bad.
Seems that my health issues have increased since I have taken on a bit more of worry regarding my mom... so, I am going to have to address that, as I can't endlessly worry about her at the detriment of my own health.
Please advise as to the symptoms of teh AIDS....
Thank you ::)
Did you ever date Rock Hudson?

Shhhh -
No one is supposed to know - non-disclosure agreement and all (or, when I'm feeling especially horny, I prefer to call it a "gag" order)....
I also dated Freddie Mercury (well, that was more of a one-night stand and happened during a dream).
Are either of these two above events risky for teh AIDS?
Oh, and there was also Easy-E.... uumm ummm, the stories I could tell.
They symptoms of AIDS are dry mouth, wet mouth, high fever, low fever, itchy ass, sneezing, coughing, stuffy head, dizzyness, sleepyness, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, dry heaves. If you have any of those symptoms you have the AIDS. It is highly advisable that you do not touch anybody or anything, as it is so highly contagious that even walking by you house is dangerous... :P
For God's sake please tell me you haven't been gay anal dipping?
For God's sake please tell me you haven't been gay anal dipping?
Is that the same as straight anal dipping?
It could be caused by nasal discharge and a nose picking transmission.
I tried to have doc give me an STD shot for the nasal discharge..... (Since Don't Ask Don't Tell was rescinded, do they still do discharges from the nasal?)
I usually allow others the joy of picking my nose.
I once had to buy a transmission for my car (it was expensive) - how much does a nose picking transmission cost?
I think I might be having a slight post-morphine drip occurring ;D That is probably the only part of being at the ER that makes it "do-able."
Me thinks my post may not make sense - It rained so hard the day I left, the weather it was dry, the sun so hot I froze to death....
I heard you could catch teh AiDS only if you've been gang banged in your shitty, un-douched chute while smoking meth on a makeshift light bulb pipe.
Dayummm, I did that exact thing just last week....
Does it matter what wattage the light bulb pipe was?
Is there a greater risk with a 100 watt as opposed to a 60 watt?
What watt?
I was concerned about my health when I was a meth addict so I asked my doctor for a port but he declined , cant remember why .
For God's sake please tell me you haven't been gay anal dipping?
Was kept overnight with pericarditis (inflammation around the sac-like covering surrounding the heart).....
Have to take high doses of NSAIDS for next three weeks....
What the H is gay anal dipping?
Is that like saying "just the tip"
Thanks NYC and bug -
I plan on getting some rest.... ;)
Have school work to do and will do some work from home tomorrow - but other than that, I will be resting.
I am very surprised you are not on steroids (methylprednisolone). You should be very careful, and if you don't improve, ask your doctor about them.
Hope you are better soon.

Just released from UM hospital.... Was kept overnight with pericarditis (inflammation around the sac-like covering surrounding the heart)..... Have to take high doses of NSAIDS for next three weeks.... Follow up with doctor next week - and hope that it clears up.... Otherwise, will have to get more aggressive treatment. UGGGHHH!!!! Always something - but, I am glad to be home and grateful for the excellant care I received at University of Miami Hospital.
Docs believe the culprit was the flu I had mid-December. I was having continuous chest pains that started worsening on Monday. By Tuesday it was hurting to sit up, lay down, walk, and breath (which is difficult to try not to do). So, yesterday when I saw ENT for follow up on throat issues, she listened to heart and after hearing symptoms advised me to go across the street to ER at UM.
I went to ER and was promptly admitted. After many tests, poking and prodding the diagnosis was made. I am on heavy doses of NSAIDS for next three weeks. Follow up with doc next week. If it worsens, next step would be to put my on high doses of steroids - and if problems continue I would be readmitted to have fluid drained from the sac area......
In the meantime, we are closely monitoring it.... with strict orders to immediately go to ER if it worsens of if I start having severe stabbing pain, etc - as this likely be cardiac arrest (worst case scenario).....
So, 2013 doesn't seem to be starting off any better healthwise than 2012 ended.
Other irritating part if this can last a few weeks up to a few months - I am hoping that it clears quickly.
The doc was happy that she had a good case of pericaditis for the 20 medical students/residents who came to my room to have a chance to see. ;D Always happy to do my part to help the future generation of docs.
My Nan had pericarditis.
The she died.
If you suddenly turn into an old racist Presbyterian white woman contact your doctor immediately.
Otherwise give the Matteh some lurve because you're almost certainly fiiiiiiiiiiine. :-*(http://www.winostuff.com/images/BreakingNews/bunghole.jpg)

Phil,
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Listen to your Doctor !!
Ray
Were you tested for an active CMV infection? Both of my pericarditis episodes were attributed to that virus due to having a weakened immune system.
Get well and REST!!!! You won't be a great performer if you're dead. ;)

I had never heard of this particular infection until I had my first heart attack and started having other heart related issues.
I assume you're under the care of a great cardiologist?
Phil,
Rest means rest, not working from home, not keeping up with your schedule, etc.
If you're not going to be a good boy, Mother Mark will have to come down there and spank you with a spatula! 8)
And put down that handbag! :o
Be well, young one. Feel better soon.
HUGS,
Mark
God Phil, what is wrong with you? You've had so many health problems recently I certainly hope this is it for a long while. Please rest as much as you can and do what the doctor says! I don't spank people as Mark does, but I can sock you in the jaw. :-*
