Hey, all you prayer warriors.
Some of you may remember back in Sept. when my husband had his "heart" issue, which at the time was believed to be something called pericarditis.
Well, fast forward to now. Cardiologist and pulminologist have ruled out a heart or lung issue. The pain has continued, and for the past month or so, DH has had a headache that won't quit. DH is not one to take meds, and has an EXTREMELY high pain tolerance, but has been popping tylenol like they're M&Ms (his favorite candy).
We were at urgent care on Tuesday because of the chest pain...we needed a redocumentation to remove him from physical training (he's Air Force), and the base docs can't see him until June 14th (he made the appointment a couple of weeks ago because of the headache).
He was on "quarters" yesterday (basically, doc said to rest a day, no PT, followup with base doc), and given vicoden for the pain, and supposed to go back to work today. He woke up this morning throwing up from the pain in his head, with an extremely low body temp. DH usually runs hot (when first married, I always thought he had a temp). At first this morning, thermometer wasn't even registering. Now, it's showing about 95 degrees.
Anyways, sorry for the long story. It's just so frustrating to see this strong, vibrant, healthy male collapsing before my eyes. I worry about what he was exposed to while in Iraq, and am so frustrated with the slowness of the military medical system...
Prayers are appreciated...for healing, for wisdom, for the docs to get off their behinds and figure out what's wrong with him, for peace...
thanks...
