Hey, I'm writing from my hospital bed, been here since friday because of chest pain and shortness of breath. Went through a zillion tests, was put on blood thinners to treat suspected clot in lungs, can't have cat scan as I'm 16 wks pregnant.didn't stay on blood thinners because I have a low platelet count,ITP. Docs are discharging me today with inflamation in the lung, I was put on 20mgs pred. I haven't been given anything for pain
tylenol does not work. I deal with my daily joint and muscle pain but the lung pain was of concern because of the breathlessness that came with it. My hormones are raging, pregnancy, and prednisone!and pain. Lethal combo for agression.
will I ever be myself again? I've become a monster, does it go away when its all over? I want to be back to my normal, calm, easy-going self
